Apostrophes Quotes

When loading a text file how can I keep the apostrophe and quotes without the jibberish.

make the textfield an “html field”

or you can replace them again with php bewfore sending the text back to flash

Well…add a backslash before your quotes/apostraphies, and it will keep the apostraphy, you don’t need to make an html text or anything, you just add a quick “/” and you are set. Like, put this in your variable that is put into the text field:

"By puting in slashes, you can preserve /"These quotes/"";

Err… I think the backslashes should go the other way. :wink:

Anyways, use the html codes for proper quotes, and you will get best results. Not only do you not need to backslash-encode them, you also get “smart quotes,” which aren’t simple double-quotes, but have direction.

For a left curly quote, use [font=monospace][noparse]&#8220[/noparse];[/font], and for right, use [font=monospace][noparse]&#8221[/noparse];[/font].
