Is there an Actionscript 2.0 or Xpath equivalent to Javascript and
Actionscript 3.0's 

decode(theStringWith"Special"Characters);

I am receiving an XML string from a webservice created by a .NET
developer - the text node that comes to me as:

<item>
        This is the &quot;String I want in quotes&quot; please help.
</item>

I am using Xpath ("item/text()")to read the text node, but of course get
the literal &quot; instead of ".  The .NET developers said it's too much
work to go back and either 1) Make the XML values as node attributes
(which would escape/decode fine with Xpath, I tested it), or 2) Enclose
the text nodes in CDATA and add literal "" characters.  So is there a
decode method in Actioscript?

I hate to write a find and replace function in Actionscript, but I might
have to do that - but then I have to account for any possible character
I might receive in the future. Is that my only option at this point?  If
this is the only way, anyone have a good find and replace method?

Thanks
