problem viewing dynamically loaded HTML text

[adamr1001]

hi.

i have successfully loaded regular text from text files in to a dynamic text box (equipped with a scroll-bar as well)-

...but now i'd like to load text rendered as HTML.

i got resources from macromedia.com - and i am getting buggy results.

here is the code i am using to import the text
___________________

loadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load("pressleft.txt"
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
scroller.html = true;
scroller.htmlText = this.var1;
}
};
___________________



here are the contents of the text file "pressleft.txt":

__________________________

var1=

This is a test
Go to <A HREF=&quot;

http://www.macromedia.com&quot;>Macromedia's

website</A>

__________________________


when i view the SWF, no text appears, but when i press CTRL-A (select all) in the space where the text should be, then COPY, then paste in to another textfile i get the proper results (&quot;Go to Macromedia's website&quot.

however, the text is not viewable, the hyperlink is not clickable, and when i tried it with a larger text file the scrolbar did not work.

wierd.

any help is much apreciated.
