Using <a href= in an External Text File

Shalom.

I have a dynamic text field linking to an external UTF-8 encoded text file. I have added a test link in the plain text:

This is a test <a href="http://google.com">link</a>.

However, when I view the .swf file, the test loads without parsing the HTML code. Any clues?

Yes, I’ve enabled HTML rendering under the properties tab of my text field.

EDIT: Upon further testing, I realised no HTML tags parse at all.
