Re: [Flashcoders] special characters
In which case the onData option might be your best bet. The text files can then be whatever you like - it's up to you to process them in whatever way you wish. Basically by providing your own LoadVars.onData() function, you completely replace Flash's default processing of text files - you are just handed the raw text as a string and can do what you like with it. Take a look in the documentation.

Re: [Flashcoders] special characters
Well, the question is that the (.txt) files are done by unskilled users, using a simple appl to apply some basic features to chars (like bold, italic, underlined), so I must use simple text files. But, at last, maybe the string manipulation option is the only way... thank you for suggestion.

Or: 3) Use plain text and LoadVars, but override onData to do the parsing of the text file yourself - so you aren't letting Flash split up lines using the & character.

RE: [Flashcoders] special characters
Enrico, I tried what you've described - indeed! you wrote: >How can I write the '<' char, inside an html dynamic textfield? In fact, writing "<" char isn't a problem, but loading it from text file is: it's either recognized as tag or (if you use < etc) another variable. But if you try create a local var with html inside it, everything is ok. Solution: 1) I'd suggest to use XML file with CDATA instead of plain text. Do you mind? 2) If the first doesn't fit you, maybe try to use another char/combination in your txt file, then after loading replace them with < or > using string manipulations. And then assign this string to a textfield. -- Best regards, Gregory_GOusable http://GOusable.com Flash components development.
