Text scroller through external source

This is my first time on a forum. I hope I’m doing this right. If not, please forgive me.

I’m relatively new to flash and the knowledge I do have is due to this site. I would like to make a special thanks to Kirupa for all the information that he is provided.

I’m trying to create a text scroller using an external text file into my flash project. I would like to be able to bold and underline the text in the source file. Such as <b>Hi Dan</b> the current tutorials that I’ve tried give the ability to bring plain text in. Is there something that can be added to those tutorials to give me the ability to bold, underline and create links?
