Html entities problem in Flash

[jitu78]

Hi,

I am displaying dynamic content in my flash.
Dynamic data is coming from XML and in flash file, html entities are not showing right, strange characters are displaying there.

Here is link, globtier.com/portfolio

See featured work description at the bottom of the link above, if there is no special characters in description then refresh the page. You will see special character in description (like question mark and sometimes square box, etc.)

Let me know, how can I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I can't find the problems you talked about...however , check if the encoding for the XML file is the same of the XML Tag...and try using the

System.useCodepage=true;

command to ensure that the Flash is receiving the correct HTML features.

Cheers

Yes,

Just paste this code,
htmlText = true;
