XML, CDATA and Flash CS3...What Is Wrong?! Goods Included

Okay, I have this dilemma I’ve been battling all day long. I can’t figure this out and I’ve searched numerous areas of this site, researched and tried everything. I can’t get my line breaks to work. It keeps displaying the <br> markup. I’ve tried every possible way and I still must be missing something.

I figure it’s in my action script or something. I even selected the <> html for the text box and still can’t seem to make this work. I just want simple line breaks!

I’m including the full source zip to a clone of the project I’m working on. Can somebody take a look at all the files I’m providing and see why my CDATA and XML are not working with my AS2?

It’s greatly appreciated. Thanks!
