Hi,

to clarify things: in the old days (certainly until flash 7), a text field variable would render html only if html was enabled for the text box. Later (not sure whether it was flash 8 or 9), there were a couple of posts that text variables would alwasy return html.
Now, with loadvars, you no longer use the text field variable but rather assign an instance name to a text field ... and now you can choose between the .text and .htmlText
