The XML object probably converted the
characters into entities.  The toString() does not convert it back. 
If you use resultFormat=”object” like Christophe I don’t
think you’ll have this issue.

Guys…the problem with my input is
it’s coming in from the RSS feed like this:  “JPMorgan’s
Vice President blah blah blah” as the title of the article and when Iset
that title string to the value of the mx:Link labels’ value, it the title
ends up looking like “JPMorgan's Vice President blah blah blah” 
Why is this happening?  I’m getting the apostrophe unencoded from
the feed but the label attribute of the mx:Link component is encoding it. 
I haven’t tried reversing this process…maybe I’ll go try that
to first encode the titles coming from the feed and then passing the encoded
string to the label attribute.  But from what you guys are saying, that
won’t work either.  I don’t understand how the label aatribute
of the mx:Link component is encoding the string…I’m not asking it
to…shouldn’t it just display exactly what I’m sending it?
 Bizarre.

Why, this seems to work fine for me:

  
  
  
    function setLinkLabel()
    {
   link.label =
"Manish's link";
    }
  

I think the problem is somewhere else.

Christophe's blog reader example uses
resultFormat="object" (default), 
which doesn't seem to have this problem.

But have you also considered letting the
HTTPService parse the XML for you?  Check out Christophe’s blog reader
example, you can see him parsing the RSS in there.

It's because the Link component's label is not html

TextArea for instance.  I've tried all kind of hacks I can think of; none
work.





 





my_link.labelPath.html = true;





my_link.labelPath.htmlText





 





Throwing it in a TextArea, but returning the text and
then tossing back into Link...all no dice.





 





You might want to file an ECR on the wish list for an html
property for the Link component:

Otherwise, just parse out the escapes:





 





var str = httpServiceStr;





str = str.split("'").join("'");





str =
str.split(">").join("<");





str = str.split("<").join(">");
