locally, this sample produces the correct ‘&’. note that i have used both versions (& and &)—

you probably need to embed the & symbol (in correct font) into the flash file somewhere. the inconsistency comes from you viewing and/or publishing the site of a machine which had the fonts installed an another which doesnt.
