I’m importing an ampersand symbol and can’t get it to display normally in flash. I’ve trying turing it into a string, and [COLOR=#0000d0]System[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000050]useCodepage[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#006610]true[/COLOR];. Also I’ve tried making the text fields html = true. But still nothing, any ideas?
