this advice is all crazy talk.
the proper way to do it is to use CDATA tags.

Another way that works pretty well is to do a join on the child nodes.
So your trace would look like this:
trace(newsNode.childNodes[i].childNodes.join(""));
As long as your html is xml compliant (<br/> instead of <br>) it will
work just fine.

Yep use cdata tags, except I think you have 2 nodes there, so open and
close them within each one. They basically tell flash to treat
everything defined between them as html, so your symbols < and > don't
mess up the xml format.
<newsitem date="8/5/2006" headline="Some headline"><![CDATA[ Body
of the
news
article. <a href="http://www.google.com";>Google</a> More body of the
article]]></newsitem> <newsitem date="8/1/2006" headline="Another
headline"><![CDATA[ Body of the second article ]]></newsitem>

you just need to put the html content inside a cdata tag:
<newsitem date="8/5/2006" headline="Some headline"><![CDATA[ Body of
the news
article. <a href="http://www.google.com";>Google</a> More body of the
article</newsitem> <newsitem date="8/1/2006" headline="Another
headline">Body of the second article ]]></newsitem>

I'm having a very weird problem and I'm hoping it's something simple
that I'm overlooking. I have an xml document similar to this:
<news>
<newsitem date="8/5/2006" headline="Some headline">Body of the news
article. <a href="http://www.google.com";>Google</a> More body of the
article</newsitem> <newsitem date="8/1/2006" headline="Another
headline">Body of the second article</newsitem> </news>
The problem I'm having is that on the first article where the link
is,
flash is seeing that as the end of the first node and then it
skips to
the next one. I'm looping over the nodes in news and using this code:
trace(newsNode.childNodes[i].firstChild.nodeValue);
and all I would see for the first record is "Body of the news
article"
and then it goes on to the next one. A client is maintaining news
through a flat xml file and wants to be able to add links. Am I
missing
something simple? Is there something else I need to do? Please help.
