I’m loading text from an xml-file (that contains html-tags) into a textfield.
If I use the regular html-tags in my xml-file, it will cause the text to be cut off at the point where it encounters the first special character ‘<’. If I use the corresponding html-code (<) for the special char, my html will show just fine in my flash. BUT it’s not me who is going to update the xml-file, and even if it were, the proces of replacing every special char with the html-code is too annoying.
Is there ANY way to keep using the regular html-tags in xml, so that the html will show just fine in my textfield? I thought about replacing the characters through actionscript (special char -> html-code) but that of course makes it display the corresponding character in the textfield, not parsing the html-tags.
Please help me out, it’s driving me nuts! There has got to be a way to do this, right?
