I’m loading some text from a textpad. The thing is there is a paragraph and it starts off like so:
“news = New R&B”
R&B means like the music type. When I use flash to load it, the “&” makes flash think B is a variable so it sort of messes up the loading.
Is there a way to put the character **&** in the textpad without just typing it?

How would I put links inside the textpad so it shows up as a clickable link in flash?

Same way as html with an \\ tag but make sure your dynamic text box is rendered for html.

Sorry if that’s not what your asking.

I tried that with a \click here\ in the textpad - no luck :(.
