RE: [flexcoders] Re: Loading Unicode values from XML and viewing in Flex components as HTML

I got word back that the SpiderMonkey implementation of E4X does NOT treat \u as an escape sequence in an XML literal, so I've filed it as an AS3 bug that we do. However, whoever gets assigned this bug will have to consult the E4X spec carefully to determine whether it has anything to say about this.

I'll ask the Player team whether \u is supposed to be treated as an escape sequence when compiled into an XML literal.

Gordon,

That makes sense but its still strange that when I created an XML var
in side application, it worked:

var localXML:XML =
<character>
<data>\u00A9</data>
<label>Inverted Exclamation Mark</label>
</character>;

I was able to see the copyright symbol as HTML on my label. What
threw me was that I couldn't do this from the XML.
