title: AS3 htmlText is showing tags
body: <p>I have a textfield created with AS3 as thus: (theDesc is a parameter passed through a function) </p>
  
  <pre><code>var productDescTxt:TextField = new TextField();
  productDescTxt.htmlText = theDesc;  
  productDescTxt.multiline = true;
  productDescTxt.wordWrap = true;
  productDescTxt.embedFonts = true;
  productDescTxt.setTextFormat(productInfoTF);
  productDescTxt.x = 10;
  productDescTxt.y = productNameTxt.y+productNameTxt.textHeight+15;
  productDescTxt.width = 325;
  holder.productsTab.addChild(productDescTxt);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>theDesc</code> is html content with character encodings:</p>
  
  <p>ex: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;6.1 oz cotton at an affordable price&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the problem is the textField is displaying every character. <code>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;</code> etc.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any extra encoding need done on my end?</p>
