I'm having the same issue even without XPATH, I have a CDATA section in my XML and the text field renders the text and the HTML tags without rendering HTML, if I cut and paste the HTML to a string and set the text field to that it works as expected. I've done this before and it worked, difference now is I'm compiling with MTASC and using flash 8 IDE. I'm going to try a standalone fla test and compile with MM compiler and flash 7 to see what the issue is.
