making <li> tags in dynamic text

[steinm10]

I've search the forum and found some topics on HTML in dynamic text but for some reason I'm unable to execute.

I would like to have a bulleted list that is pulled into a dynamic text field. I have the HTML option ON and the code below is what I am using.

comtm1_1.html = true;
comtm1_1.htmlText = "<li>test test test test</li>";

This code is on the actions layer and is being called by a button click.

For some reason this is not formatting to a List Item...any ideas?

technically it should work..are u sure the path to your textfield is correct?

Open up an empty fla and put this in the actions layer..

comtm1_1.multiline = true;
comtm1_1.html = true;
comtm1_1.htmlText = "<li>Apples</li><li>Oranges</li><li>Lemons</li>";

got it to work. I was calling the htmlText = true in the actions layer instead of attaching it to the button itself.

Thanks - sometimes you just need to think outloud
