Flash Won't Load HTML Text - HTML Forums

Hi all... I can't get my text to render as HTML no matter what I do, maybe I'm just missing something simple... Here is my code:

Code:

function loadTxt(theTxt){
    var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean){
        
        if (success){
            my_text.html = true;
            my_text.htmlText = lv.txt;
			my_text.mouseWheelEnabled = true;
			my_text.selectable = true;
			my_text.multiline = true;
        }else{
            trace ("cannot load text!");
        }
    };
    lv.load(theTxt);
}

And then on frame 20 I have this:

Code:

loadTxt("text/file.txt")

It loads fine but if I add any HTML say for instance <b> the text displays up until it gets to that point and then stops... I made sure that "render Text As HTML" was also checked... But no luck

i'll get back to you on this, there is an easier way to do this. at work right now. don't loose hope yet.

But man, you sure are asking LOTS of questions! what kind of projects are you working on anways if you don't mind me asking?

oh, if you have flash 8, then there is a text enhancement that uses html. you can use that, it's a lot easier. find it under the sample folder
