HTML in dynamic text field

hey,

i was wondering if anyone could help me out with this (and if there's already been a thread on this, i apologize).

so anyway, i just started using flash and i ran into trouble when i tried to use the '<b>' and '</b>' tags in my dynamic external .txt files. i have embedded my own font and everything, so i'm guessing that's why. i've tried plenty of scripts i've found online, but none of them seem to work.

anyone know what i could possibly do about this? to have any HTML tags to work in my .txt files?

Upload the files so we can help u.....

I know you can with your action script, like

format.bold = true;
tfield.setTextFormat(format);

look that up in the doc, its been forever since i've done AS.

I vaguely recall a button somewhere to render text as html. I don't know if that's what its even called, or where it is, or what version of flash its in. google that or look on kirupa.com for that function.

thanks!
if that doesn't work, i'll upload the files. =)

so i managed to solve that problem...finally. =P thanks for the help.

but now, i can't use other html tags (i.e. using the img and a href tags).

this is the site that i'm working on now: http://www.gennybeans.com/sjs/sanderlayout2.html

the individual pages can be found here: http://www.gennybeans.com/sjs/

though, i'm guessing i'm missing something in the actionscript to allow the usage of all html tags.

i tried kirupa, but i couldn't find what i needed...=/
