Make sure that the text is passed to the textfield using the htmlText-property not the text-property.

textfieldInstance.htmlText = variableFromFile;

Well how do you import the text into your movie? And how is it connected to the textfield? Using a variable or an instance?

Here is an example using a textfield with an instance name of myText and using LoadVars object to load the variables in. Both the textfield and the loadvars object are on the same timeline. if not you must specify the path to the textfield using dot notation in the onLoad event handler for myVars.

var myVars = new LoadVars();

myVars.onLoad = function(success)
{
    if(success)
    {
        myText.htmlText = this.myText;
    } else
    {
        trace("loading failed")
    }
}

myVars.load("myTextFile.txt");

The myTextFile textfile looks like this:

&myText=< a href='http://www.flashkit.com' >Flashkit< /a >
