If you wanted it to actually output "&" I'm assuming you could capture the & in the string and replace it with & - which would theoretically output "&" - haven't actually tried this though.
Which I guess more generically would boil down to you replacing all your "&" with "&" - that would take care of it for all the cases (&, ", < etc). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sascha Balkau Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 1:22 PM To: flashcoders Subject: [Flashcoders] Maintaining HTML special char codes in a HTMLtextfield? Hi, does somebody know if it's somehow possible to get HTML special characters like &, ", < and > to be outputted in a Flash HTML enabled textfield without turning them into their conversions? I've tried various ways like using escape sequences with unicode etc. but the textfield still converts them. There is no way to turn this behavior off for a HTML textfield but I'm wondering if there is some magical method to preprocess the string so that the textfield wouldn't recognize the special char sequences. Otherwise can somebody confirm that there is absolutely no way to do that? In that case a textfield property to turn the conversion off would be a welcome feature in 8.5. Thanks for any hint!
