problem parsing html/text effect engine

[olga]

I think I've found this problem and uncovered another-- I am currently

running this dynamic text through a dynamic text effect engine.  The way the

engine currently works is that a mc of one letter is assigned a value

incrementally according to the quote, duplicated and assigned a particular

effect.  So, each letter is independently filtered into the Flash movie, and

I believe why the parsing of the HTML is messed up.. it is actually

receiving <, i, > rather than <i>.


Is there a better way to apply text effects to dynamically loaded text in

Flash?


Thanks!

Olga
