Dynamic text problem w/symbols

1

i recently downloaded, kirupa’s tutorial on scrollable loading dynamic text.
it works very well, but when it comes to symbols like (& and +) these appear to make all the text after them dissapear, when the text loads from an outside file.

HELP please!!!

It’s simple, really, when loading from a text file you use the url-encode method (you can read about it in the Flash MX help files). Alright, so check this: <a href=“http://i-technica.com/whitestuff/urlencodechart.html”>URL Encode Chart</a>. Just in case you don’t understand, if you had text like…


&variable1=Man, I wish I could put an amperstand HERE and a
 plus sign HERE...&

You’d replace it like…


&variable1=Man, I wish I could put an amperstand %26 and a 
plus sign %2b...&

Anyway,
