Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Is it possible to display "&" in the xml file
To clarify - & is part of the XML spec and is nothing to do with HTML. Just by coincidence, HTML has the same entity & defined. A standards-conforming XML parser - which the Flash one is - will always translate & into & within text nodes. So when you extract the text node from the XML, any occurrence of & will already have been replaced.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Is it possible to display "&" in the xml file
Sidney - nope, the & is taken care of at XML parse time. You'd only have to use htmlText if the string was: Fin & IT :-) Ian On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 3:03 PM, Sidney de Koning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > But you have to say your textfield is HtmlText else it wont render and just > shows you & instead of & > ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Is it possible to display "&" in the xml file
Try doing that with an external file and an exotic font :) To prevent errors from my side i always place my text in a CDATA (where appropriate) and make sure I have the htmlText option on. When working with exotic fonts (not your standard verdana, times or arial) you might get in trouble.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Is it possible to display "&" in the xml file
Or you could search and replace the & using a regular dynamic field.
