Hi, does anybody know how Flash can load apostrophes and quotes? Right now, when I’m trying to load external data from a PHP file into Flash, my text is getting cut off at the first apostrophe, quote, or special character.

Is there a way around this?

did you try to add a \ before each quote or aposts? That’s how it’s donne on PHP, maybe it will work with flash.
