The previous programmers neglected to properly handle apostrophes and
there are many text strings displayed in the .swf files, unfortunately
what exists now is that whenever an apostrophe occurs, it cuts off the
rest of the string.
One thing that I tried was to go into the MySQL database itself and
add the escape character before the apostrophes, this resulted in the
display of the encoded HTML for the apostrophe and not the actual
apostrophe.
Well, it sounds like the apostrophe was properly escaped when placed
into the MySQL database. If it is escaped, it doesn't store the escape
charector in the database, it stores it as it is.
What I'm guessing you need to do is escape/convert the apostrophe for
Flash/Actionscript.
At a guess, since Flash is so HTML centric, try converting the ' to '
