Flash html field supports span but not div ?

Question

I see listed here all html tags supported http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Flash/Working-with-Text-and-HTML-in-Flash/5/

I can see span but not div ? Is this a mistake ?

Answer 1

no, it's not a mistake DIV tags are not supported

However you could just replace <span> with <div> or better yet use an html parser library
