It has been a few years since I have doine flash but I am back and running into troubles while trying to render HTML text. What I am trying to do may not be possible so I am hoping some of you fine folk can help me.

I am using Flash 8 Professional, importing a text file using LoadVars. The dynamic text field (named blog_txt) is inside of a movie clip named blogText_mc. I do have "render text to HTML" turned on.

When I use the HTMl tags, the text in between the tags disappear.

Can anyone help out. Below is my code.

var blogTextLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
blogTextLV.load("blogText.txt");
blogTextLV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
blogText_mc.blog_txt.htmlText = blogTextLV.blogText;
}
}
