AS3 does not interpret HTML into XML

[ziriguidum]

hello!

the title is auto explanatory. this doesn´t work,
it shows plain text, not formatted:

xml:

	
<image link="slides/pic2.jpg" title="TÃ*tulo">
		<desc>
			<![CDATA[<font color='#"+990000+"'><b>First line Text in Bold Red color</b><font>]]>
		</desc>
	</image>

as3:

descriptionTF.htmlText = my_items[intCurrentSlide].desc;

thanks !!
