Hi!

Here is my problem.  
I have a XML file with some text, and I am loading it in flash.  
At the end the text is showen in the text field.  
I am trying to use html formating in text field so I have done this:

[AS]myTextField.html=true;  
myTextField.htmlText=variabl;[/AS]

Variabl has a text laded from XML.  
In XML text is in [c… CData format.  
I have used a html tags in that text and nothing happened , I could only see a tags .  
Does somebody knows why.  
:hair: :hair:
