Try as I might i cannot get my flash scrolling text to recognize the ‘&’ symbol from my external .txt files. I have embedded every thing i think it might be. I am using the font “Tahoma” so nothing weird there. It also has problems recognizing ’ " ’ but no problems with ‘!’ Any Ideas would be greatfully appreciated.
