yes doing that, when I do a trace when I have a CDATA section with hello and bold tags around it (not typing it as it won't be displayed in the flashlist) I see in the text field the hello with the html tags and the same in the trace, if I set a string to hello with bold tags around it and assign it to the same text field it works... I'll create a demo file and upload soon, I had a deadline so ended up using loadvars for the html content and that worked, but I've done the CDATA section stuff for my old site and it worked then.
