Hi, I am loading external text from a txt file into flash that has a few quote marks in it but for some reason flash will not display the quote marks and it messes up the text around the quote marks. I tried using the html code for quote marks and the / mark that I read should be used when in ActionScript but nothing worked. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it.

Thanks,  
Brian
