>>Have they increased the puny amount of HTML that is allowed in Flash?
Nope, unfortunately. I've been down the exact same road - what I have learned is using the TextFormat object, while not perfect, will save you a lot of headaches. Searching through strings - what a pain, and a major performance issue I would think. Good thing about the TextFormat object is you can use asfunction for your hyperlinks, so you can have text link to an actionscript function, or to external URLs.
