[flexcoders] AsyncToken with special chars

[thibodeau.alain]

Hi there,

I've run into an issue that I am sure others have, but I cannot find a 
solution. I am using cairngorm with a webservice. I need to send in my soap 
body the less than and greater than characters. In my mxml based on user input, 
I use &lt;&gt;. I follow the call and flex converts the &lt;&gt; to <> until 
the AsyncToken gets a hold of it. It should convert it back to &lt;&gt; for the 
soap call, however it takes the first & and converts that too.. so the outgoing 
soap looks like this "&amp;lt;&gt;" instead of "&lt;&gt;".

Anyone know why this is happening or a solution?

Thanks in advance
