Topic: Can't get HTML working within XML loaded into Flash

Hey guys, long time no see...stupid real job...

Anyway, here's the deal: I'm working on a file that was done by another developer and having some probs, the basic idea is that it's a map of a mall-type area that's populated from an XML doc...store names, locations, descriptions, etc. What i want to do is be able to hyperlink the store's websites from in the description box but if I had any HTML in the description field of the XML it just ignores everything. There's a global.as file that contains most of the actionscript and this is all being displayed in a TextArea component, I've set html to "true" in the Component Inspector parameters box but that still doesn't work. Any ideas what i might be missing? Any advice appreciated, thanks.
