Hi,

I have a dynamic text field that loads up copy from an access database through some asp script.

It works fine except for when there are % characters in the copy. When there are % characters it simply missed them and displays everything else. Is there a way around this?? The asp works absolutely fine and loads % signs ok, but once in flash they disappear.

Cheers.

Steven.
