[twitter-dev] Re: Not able to read unicode from Twitter Response XML in C#.net

[zbowling]

The power of Google search reveals this as the first result:

AS3:
public function htmlUnescape(str:String):String
{
    return new XMLDocument(str).firstChild.nodeValue;
}
public function htmlEscape(str:String):String
{
    return XML( new XMLNode( XMLNodeType.TEXT_NODE, str ) ).toXMLString
();
}

or AS2:

function htmlUnescape(str:String):String
{
    return new XML(str).firstChild.nodeValue;
}
function htmlEscape(str:String):String
{
    return new XMLNode( 3, str ).toString();
}
