[Flashcoders] Converting amp; in a URL?

2006-01-20 Thread Sascha Balkau 

Hi list,

does ActionScript have any facilities to convert special characters like 
amp; into just ? I have one Flash movie that reads URLs from an RDF file 
where all URLs are written with amp; inside the adress. My client would 
like these special chars to be converted to ''. Does Flash has anything to 
do that automatically (haven't found anything so far) or do I have to write 
my own convert method?


Thanks for help,
Sascha

You write your own or use the %26 escape sequence instead of amp;

Are you outputting these URLs or using them in getURL()?

That should work in getURL(). But if you're outputting them, one way to
convert them is to use HTML text fields.

Or, if you can't change the text fields, try this:

str = Sometext with an amp; in.;

function convert(str, from, to) {
return str.split(from).join(to);
}

trace(convert(str, amp;, ));

It's used in getURL. Thanks Adrian! Your small function solved it and helped 
me a ton!
