external text as html not working...

[jjkiesch]

i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, but i have a dynamic text field that loads external html text.

my problem is that when i use code like

myTextBox.text = variableText;

the text isn't rendered as html.
but when i assign a variable to the text box and set that to point to the variable text, it works fine.

what am i missing here?

myTextBox.htmlText = variableText;

Your'e refering to the wrong property of the textBox, should be htmlText and not text.

i didn't know there was a separate property to use html text. thanks.
