Guys/Gals,  
I need some very urgent help for a project that is on a tight deadline. I have a CDATA node that i’m loading into Flash that has some html in it. Let’s just say this is it:

You are \<font color=’#FFFFFF’\>very pretty\</font\>.\<br\>\<br\>

When I trace out the xml after it is loaded into flash, it comes out as this:

You are \<font color='#FFFFFF'\>very pretty\</font\>.\<br\>\<br\>

I need it to come through with the tags in tact. How do I go about this?

THANKS VERY MUCH, cookies to the person who helps out!
