I'm using Flash MX and displaying dynamic text with HTML formatting. For some reason the bold tag does not work. These tags work: underline and italic, but no bold. The bold text in the text field just disappears. Any hints to as what is wrong?

If you are including font outlines for the textfield and the only time you use bold text is when you use the html b tag, flash won't realise it needs to include the outlines for the font in bold too.
to solve this you can create a dynamic textfield off the edge of the stage and in this textfield using your chosen font type in a letter in bold, regular and italic (use the B and I buttons from the properties inspector to set the style of these letters) now when you include the font outlines for this textbox the font outlines for your bold font will be avialable to the html textfield.
