Re: [Flashcoders] Converting amp; in a URL?
You write your own or use the %26 escape sequence instead of amp; On 20/01/06, Sascha Balkau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi list, does ActionScript have any facilities to convert special characters like amp; into just ?

RE: [Flashcoders] Converting amp; in a URL?
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;, )); Adrian -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sascha Balkau Sent: 20 January 2006 14:10 To: flashcoders Subject: [Flashcoders] Converting amp; in a URL?

It's used in getURL. Thanks Adrian! Your small function solved it and helped me a ton! Sascha Are you outputting these URLs or using them in getURL()? That should work in getURL().
