External Text Import Displays HTML tags.

[Xerxes]

Hey Guys,

Here is an example of what is happening:

http://www.spinweb.net/index.php?src...s&ref=testhome

If you click on Shift or Refresh, it will take you to a paragraph, but it is displaying all of the HTML tags in it rather than displaying it correctly. When I test the swf on my computer, it looks just fine. I am even using the direct path to import both the txt file and the css file. Any ideas on this would be most appreciated.

Thank you!

Also, here is the actionscript:

//Handle the UIScrollBar - instance in library
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.UIScrollBar, "my_sb", 20);

// Set the target text field for the scroll bar.
my_sb.setScrollTarget(my_txt);

// Size it to match the text field.
my_sb.setSize(16, my_txt._height); 

// Move it next to the text field.
my_sb.move(my_txt._x + my_txt._width, my_txt._y);

//Note: Download the TXT and CSS files to look at their structure. Use the URLs below.
//load text
function loadMyText(evt) {
	var loadit_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
	loadit_lv.load("http://www.spinweb.net/graphics/flash/shift.txt");
	loadit_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
		if (success) {
			my_txt.text = this.content;
		} else {
			trace("Could not load text file.");
		}
	};
}
loadMyText();

//apply stylesheet
var flash_css = new TextField.StyleSheet();
flash_css.load("http://www.spinweb.net/graphics/flash/flash.css");
flash_css.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
	if (success) {
		my_txt.styleSheet = flash_css;
	} else {
		trace("Could not load CSS file.");
	}
};

Try:

my_txt.htmlText=this.content;
