It may not be invisible characters, but character encoding. Witango
only speaks IS0 and you may need to add that xml header to the xml
file, so the flash reads it properly. Without the iso header, it
probably defaults to thinking its UTF-8.

Thanx, Alan. I have tried removing individual portions, half,

tried windiff, so I might try that. I also can't seem to find an

will show ALL of the hidden characters in a file. I've opened the

spaces,
tabs and LF/Ps.
It's a making me crazy!
One thing to try would be to look at the actual xmlfile that
tango creates and compare with what you have using a hex
editor (to see if there are invisible characters!) or
something like "windiff" which would show you any difference
in yours vs. tangos.
If you find that there are no hidden characters and if you
re-type the xml by hand and it doesnt work in your flash app,
what you might try doing is removing half of the data (making
sure it's still well formed
xml!) and then seeing if that works. If it does work, you
know the problem is in the half you removed. If it doesn't
work, you know the problem is in the remaining half.
Whichever half is the problem, try removing half of that and
trinse and repeat, cutting the problem in half as many times
as it takes before you find what is making the flash explode.
HTH!

I'm using Tango (yeah, I'm still on Tango 2000) to write an xml for
for a Flash app that I use.
Problem is, no matter what I've tried, the xml file doesn't work in
the Flash app the same as if I open something like Notepad and just
type in the same data. My suspicion is that I'm either including
something I shouldn't by using METAHTML encoding, or Tango
is for some
reason inserting invisible characters in the xml file that
I am simply
unable to see. I have tried to resolve this for several
hours (I have
even resorted to using <@CHAR CODE="10"> in place of hard returns
while I'm building the data to be written to the file, but
all to no avail.
If anybody has any ideas as to what might be happening, I'd sure
appreciate hearing about it.
