Hello  
I am trying to pass some variables from a database to flash with FlashVars. I am getting the text without any problem but I can’t view the plus (+) character  
I have embedded special characters to text fields and also the plus (+) character.

```auto

<script type="text/javascript">AC_FL_RunContent( 'type','application/x-shockwave-flash','codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','data','img/test/test2/test7.swf','width','966','height','275','quality','high','FlashVars', 'tttext=tex1&ffname=text2&photo1=test2/team434_2_1218093454122.jpg&photo2=0&photo3=0&phone=(+44) 4567 42345544&mobile=(+44) 5834 523421&email=temp@test.com','menu','false','src','img/test/test2/dass-ttest2','movie','swf/test' );
