Hi,

I have a problem with XML ovject. In my xml file, it looks like:  
\<basket\>  
\<food id=0\>'Apple'\</food\>  
\<food id=1\>'Orange'\</food\>  
\</basket\>

When I use the actionscript “this.current\_node.firstChild.nodeValue”, I get ‘Apple’, but my application needs to get 'Apple&39;.

Can anyone help me?
