It's a long story, but reducing it to two points:

(1) Flash does not understand the <sup> and <sub> HTML tags.

(2) The plain page does have an option which allows these tags ... but
only by processing the text in a very painful word-by-word manner. When
an opening tag is encountered, all the text that follows is placed
slightly higher (or lower) than the rest of the line until a closing tag
is encountered.

It's far too unpleasant to implement on any other (more sophisticated)
page.
