htmlText in input text field?

Hi

Is it possible to have input text fields respond to htmlText? I'm sure I've done it before.

Although the following code displays the string correctly, there is no color formatting displayed:

e.target.htmlText = noColour + "<font color='0x00FF00'>"+ colorText +"</font>";

I've clicked the button in the field's properties (Flash Pro) to render as htmlText.

Cheers for having a look.
