Dynamic Text, and parameter nameing issue

I’ve been trying to embed text from a regular .txt file, and every time there is an apostrophe, it only shows a box when I trace it, and not at all when the file is published. How do I get it to show apostrophe’s?

Also, I’ve have been given the task of linking my flash work to a cgi script, that has a parameter named : PASSWORD:USE_COOKIE/DEFAULT

I’ve tried every way I know to get AS to accept that as a parameter name, but it keeps giving an error because of the / symbol. Is there a way around this?

Thanks,

PS: The font has been embedded into the text field. I’ve tried several fonts including Arial.
