RE: [Flashcoders] flash and xpath
Jason, I came across this problem recently... Unless you use the nodeValue property, the returned node will be escaped when converted to string (and no,unescape doesn't help a bit...). It's not a full url-encoding that you get with the escape() function, but ampersands and html tags will be converted to entities such as amp;. Now I haven't used xpath, so I don't know if it implements nodeValue, but even if it doesn't, there's got to be a way of extracting it.

RE: [Flashcoders] flash and xpath
I came across this problem recently... Unless you use the
nodeValue property, the returned node will be escaped when
converted to string
Uh, yeah, I posted this earlier. It uses nodeValue to escape:
/*decodes any character entities in a string. For example, it converts
amp; to . */
function decodeEntities(entityString:String):String
{
var x:XML = new XML(n+entityString+/n);
x.parseXML();
return x.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
Just send that function your dirty string you got from the XML and it
should come back clean.
