Formating text via XML

Question

Hi all,
I'm trying to format an XML file so I can have HTML tags on it for bold, italic, underline, etc... but its not working.
When I'm not using any HTML tags my subtitle works great but when I put the tags the player reads the time tag not the sutitle!!
Any help is appreciated....
here is my AS3 code:
var subtitlesXML:XML;
var urlLDR:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLDR.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,xmlLoaded);
urlR = new URLRequest("xml/" + (meuCaminho.parameters.cont) + ".xml");
//urlR = new URLRequest("sub/Cinema.xml")
urlLDR.load(urlR);
function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void{
    subtitlesXML = XML(e.target.data);
    startLoading();
    caixaLegenda.text = (e.target.data);
// subtitles
function subtitlesF(e:Event):void{
    for (var i:uint = 0; i < vid_mc.scenes.length; i++) {
        if(vid_mc.currentScene.name == vid_mc.scenes[i].name){
            if(vid_mc.currentScene.name != previousSceneName){
                //textFormatF(i);
                startTime = getTimer();
                pauseDurations = 0;
                previousSceneName = vid_mc.currentScene.name
            textF(i);
            break;
function textF(i:uint):void{
    var subtitleBool:Boolean = false;
    if(i<subtitlesXML.scene.length()){
        var currentTime = getTimer()-startTime-pauseDurations;
        for(var j:uint=0;j<subtitlesXML.scene[i].sub.length();j++){
            if(currentTime>=Number(subtitlesXML.scene[i].sub[j].@start) && currentTime<=Number(subtitlesXML.scene[i].sub[j].@end)){
                //subtitlesTF.text = subtitlesXML.scene[i].sub[j];
                caixaLegenda.text = subtitlesXML.scene[i].sub[j];
                subtitleBool = true;
                break;
    if(!subtitleBool){
        subtitlesTF.text = "";
function legendaF(e:MouseEvent):void{
    if(legenda_mc.currentFrame==1){
        legenda_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
        //subtitlesTF.visible = false;
        caixaLegenda.visible = false;
    } else {
        legenda_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
        //subtitlesTF.visible = false;
        caixaLegenda.visible = true;
here is an XML example of my site:
</conteudo>
      <scene>
              <!-- the subtitle text can come all the way up to here--------------------------------------------------------->
            <sub start = "00" end = "1400"><b>Isomeria</b> no dia a dia</sub>
            <sub start = "1400" end = "3700">O etanol é um <i>álcool bastante conhecido.</i></sub>
            <sub start = "3700" end = "6800">É usado <b>como solvente,</b> <i>antisséptico, conservante,</i></sub>
            <sub start = "6800" end = "8900">além de compor diversas bebidas. </sub>
            <sub start = "8900" end = "11900">Sua fórmula molecular é C2H6O.</sub>
      </scene>
</conteudo
Thanks a lot....

I've tried adding a couple lines on the main AS and cdata on the XML but the subtitle show the HTML like common text
AS
function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void{
    subtitlesXML = XML(e.target.data); 
    startLoading();
    var htmlContent = subtitlesXML.content.text(); // Value of "<content>"
    caixaLegenda.htmlText = htmlContent;    // Assign the HTML content to the text field*/
    //caixaLegenda.text = (e.target.data);
XML
<sub start = "00" end = "1400"><![CDATA[<font color="#0099FF">Isomeria</font> <strong>no dia</strong> a dia]]></sub>
Any ideas?
