Hi There,

I am having problems displaying ‘%’ and ‘&’ in my text fields. I am using:

[COLOR=“RoyalBlue”]var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

myLV.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {  
if (success) {  
main\_mc.body\_txt.htmlText = myLV.bodyCopy;  
} else {  
main\_mc.body\_txt.text = “There has been an error loading the requested information. Please contact the webmaster and report the fault”;  
}  
}  
var cssStyles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet ();  
cssStyles.load(“styles/styles.css”);  
cssStyles.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {  
if (success) {  
main\_mc.body\_txt.styleSheet = cssStyles;  
myLV.load(“copy/product01b.txt”);  
} else {  
main\_mc.body\_txt.text = “There has been an error loading the requested information. Please contact the webmaster and report the fault”;  
}  
}[/COLOR]

to load the text file and the style sheet.

I have two external files, a text file and a .css file

this is the css style:

[COLOR=“Red”]p {  
font-family: “Arial Narrow”;  
font-size: 18px;  
}[/COLOR]

And this is the text file:

[COLOR=“Red”]&bodyCopy=\<textformat leading=“2”\>\<p\>Save up to 30% on internet prices.\</p\>\</textformat\>[/COLOR]

I have also embedded the symbol into my text field and have also embedded the font itself into my flash file. Has anyone any idea how I can display these symbols.

Cheers
