So in my flash movie I have the user enter their name on the first screen. then when the press the button I want a welcome message to say welcome (the input) please click the button… I have it all working but my problem is that along with the name being displayed in the message are all the style tags how can i get rid of that?

This is what is put in to my dynamic text box.
