hi ppl,
im trying to use the "&" symbol in a dynamically loaded txt file, i tried using the ascii value of it ( &, or &amp but neither show up and the text is cut off at the place i insert them.

anybody knows how can i solve this problem?
thanks.

url-encode your ampersands; the default delimiter for loaded data in flash is the ampersand e.g.

&mytext=yada yada yada&

so your code thinks the data has terminated

& = %26

&mytext=yada yada yada & another thing& // bork!
&mytext=yada yada yada %26 another thing& // woot!

you can use the escape method in flash to do it for you

var str = "yada yada yada & another thing";
var estr = escape(str);
var ustr = unescape(estr);

trace("String = "+str);
trace("Escaped = "+estr);
trace("Unescaped = "+ustr);

// trace output:
//
// String = yada yada yada & another thing
// Escaped = yada%20yada%20yada%20%26%20another%20thing
// Unescaped = yada yada yada & another thing
