I have an input text field in Flash 8 that does NOT have the "Render text as HTML" option selected and is set to capture the input to the "X" variable.

However when looking at the "X" variable, I see it's set to:

<P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="_sans" SIZE="11" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">sample</FONT></P>

Rather than:

"sample"

Any idea why?
