Dynamic Text: HTML Text formatting: HTML Tags
To get the right quotation marks “example” I have been using the follo. HTML tags:
“ (opening quote)
” (closing quote)
They worked beautifully in Flash 5. But in MX, the same tags give me an O.
I cannot use the inch marks “example”.
Can someone pls help me with this problem?
“example” — right
“example” — wrong
Thanks

“example” – Maybe?

Thanks for the suggestion. But i’ve tried that … it doesn’t work. Gives me some weird French style characters.
anyone else?
