I know there are lots of threads out there on this, but I'm stumped. I have a movieclip with a dynamic text field pulling text from an external text file via a variable. The external text file has some simple html tags. For instance here is a snippet of the text file:

&home_txt=<p><b>Welcome to broadGap Technologies</b></p>
<p>As a leading provider of technology solutions to companies of all sizes, broadGap utilizes the latest technology to create IT solutions for the problems that confront your business every day.</p>
<br>
<p>Take a look at our site and find out how broadGap can help your business succeed.</p>

I have chosen the embed font outlines for "all characters" from the properties inspector for the text field.

The only text that views through the mask is the data between the <b></b> codes. If I debug the output "cntrl L" the variable has all the text, it just isn't displayed.

If I don't mask the text field, it all shows without any problems.

If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it....
