hi there folks,
I am building an xml file.
i need to use é. This doesn’t seem to work as everything breaks when it gets to that character. So i tried replaceing it with “%E9”, but it just prints as “%E9” in flash? My text field is set to “html” and ive tried embeding all characters and embeding no characters.
I’ve also tried to use the “include these characters” feature of the embed dialog with good results. The é simply disappears and takes out 1 character following it (even if its the “<” from the closing xml tag, which is what i assume is breaking things.)
What am I missing? Do i need to us CDATA? I hope not as that would require a massive rewrite of both the xml and my application.
EDIT:
just want to add extra info if it helps:
this is what i’m doing now as far as this example xml node:
<CLIENT_NAME>Little Village Café</CLIENT_NAME>
if i send it to flash that way it ends up like this:
<CLIENT_NAME>Little Village Caf�CLIENT_NAME>
the party ends at this point…
my ghetto fix at the moment is to have my XML writing zinc app take every é and .split().join() it the url encoded equivelant. Then, in my flash app i .split().join() it back to é … pretty lame as this only solves for a é when it happens to be needed. In fact encoded equivelant really has no meaning in this senario, just a place holder.
please help
