Hey guys… got a question.

how come in windows the text stays the same if you create a dynamic text; textfield and have text in it, with render text as html, but when you switch to OSX on a mac and you view the site, the text not longer stays the same and bolds it all???

tried  
windows  
ie 7, firefox2, opera  
-everything stays normal and how it should look

on macosx  
safari, firefox2

- All the FONT BOLDS completely

— i played around with some settings in flash, but that did not fix why the mac is defaulting all fonts bold in flash…

it seems mac’s are defaulting to their own stylesheet or something.
