Hi,

I’m having a problem when loading variables from data.txt. Obviously, the & symbol is what states a new variable, but i’m having clients enter html text and the &nbsp; (for white space in html) sign comes up a lot and breaks the line of text. Is there a line of code in actionscript that I can input that states that whenever there is "&nbsp;", for the flash to ignore it or just enter a space instead of looking for a new variable.

Thanks in advance,

Roy
