special characters

[avseq01]

i will buy it but i saw a bug on this component. for example & character writing & .... are you have any idea for this?

I dont think this is a bug but rather a ActionScript issue. There is a fix for this but I don't understand how to do it. Hoping someone here does. I am having this issue with the black XML version but I need a fix for the & changing to &

Could you show me a sample ?

For example:

When I open the news.xml file and replace

<link>http://www.google.com/</link>

with

<link>http://raceservers.net/rankings_n2k3.asp?rsGameName=NR2003&rsGameID=34&rsModName=SimCOT&class=SimCOT&name=Adrenalizer3</link>

When I test the link in flash it breaks the link by changing all the &'s in the link to & like this:

<link>http://raceservers.net/rankings_n2k3.asp?rsGameName=NR2003&amp;rsGameID=34&amp;rsModName=SimCOT&amp;class=SimCOT&amp;name=Adrenalizer3</link>

Now if you copy and paste the first link you will see it displays the proper page but if you try the second link it goes to a page but not the correct page.

Hope this makes sense. I'm guessing something to do with nodeValue but I dont understand enough AS to fix this issue. Read somewhere that it was reading the links as text instead of html and thats why the & turns to & If you could have a look at the Ticker.as and see if you could fix this then it would be the best Flash news ticker out there.

Thanks Adrian
