You could escape the string before saving the file and unescape it before you display it.
Or you could get the string at run-time instead of compiling it in.

I tried this: <mx:String source="testAS.as"> The file happens to have Action script code in it. But when the flex project is compiled I get compile errors from other parts of the mxml file. It appears to be trying to insert the data in testAS.as into the mxml file itself. It is still a problem if all the lines are commented out with //. It seems to dislike the line: //} What I am trying to do is to load some AS code as text to be displayed as text in my app. Thanks Andrew
