I've inherited a Flash MX 2004 document that has some text entry points that verify you've entered the right text before continuing or provide you a warning message and urge you to try hard. They're set up like so:

Code:
on (keypress "<Enter>")
{
    if (titleInputText == "hoped-for text entry") 
    {
        gotoAndPlay("someNamedTarget");
    }
    else 
    {
        comment = "Hey--enter hoped-for text entry to continue!";
    }
}
Some of them just weren't behaving at all correctly. With some handy-dandy trace() statements, I found that a few of them were returning values that included HTML formating of the text. Instead of getting

Code:
something entered

I was getting

Code:
<FONT = "Arial">something entered</FONT>

which is causing me all sorts of problems. How on earth can I turn off the HTML tags? Where did it come from?

(Why, yes, I do know just enough to get myself in trouble. Why do you ask?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated on this.
