html formatting not appearing
i am creating a website in flash MX which reads data from an xml file. the xml file contains a list of news article titles. the problem i face is this:-
some of the news articles have html formatting tags in them (like <br>, <u>, <a href> etc.) except for the underline tag, none of the other html tags work. the bold and italic tags appear as actual text. the anchor tag does not show at all. what should i do?
