You should try loading your text into a blank text bow in a movie clip as a
.txt file using the LoadVariables command. Then you can manipulate the whole
line of text any way you like. You can even concatenate the text within the
.txt and name different string different variables. This way you can have
one text file with all your desired text.

Subject: [flasher] problem parsing html/text effect engine

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
