Moca, What font are you using? Is it a common font or one you might need to embed?
Is your TextField set to html = true? Are you using the TextField.htmlText property? In the XML file are you using the CDATA tag in the text node? <item><![CDATA[This is Keith's "favorite" topic.]]></item> I prefer numbered entities over named entities. Numbered entities seem to enjoy more robust support in browsers. I did a quick test using ' and " vs ' and " -- both worked. If none of this helps then I think we will need to see a sample of your XML code (if not Flash code) to try to figure it out. -Keith http://home.mn.rr.com/keithreinfeld -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MocaLoca Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 9:41 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] ' and " from xml weirdness Hello, I have saved my xml file as Unicode and UTF. I get the same results. All the characters I tried so far work just fine (TM, Latin characters, for new line) no problems. But when trying to use ' or ", flash displays either a square box, ' or " I have tried the character itself, " or ' same thing. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks a lot!
