I’m externally loading content into a dynamic text box and I just ran into a problem

for some reason or another when I use an ampersand & everything after it disappears… The font i’m using has an ampersand and i have tried delimiting it with " and ’ but to no avail

I also have an issue with + not showing up — again the + symbol itself is in the font

I’m not quite sure what the issue is … although I feel like flash is thinking that i’m trying to concatinate something … but I can put in solid html links

```auto
<a href ="yahoo.com">Yahoo!</a>

```

and they work perfectly
