Hello everyone,

I’m loading an XML file in my flash movie.  
Everything loads well… But when I have  
an ’ (apostrophe) in my XML file,  
the result is = ’

For example :  
_C’est la vie_ would show _C&aposest la vie_

:huh:

I have added the System.UseCodePage=true;  
line to accept special characters but is there  
a way that I can accept the apostrophe :h:

Thank you in advance for your help!
