I have a Flash file that is importing an XML file. The XML file has an info field that has e-mail addresses in it. I am trying to convert the e-mail addresses to HTML in the Actionscript. I have tried using CDATA but can’t understand from any tutorials online how my Actionscript should look. Does anyone have suggestions?
