Loading external text >> BUG?

[beofonemind]

I need to load external text into a dynamic text field. Everything works fine, but inside the text file whenever there is a "&" symbol, flash stops reading the text. As soon as I take out the & symbols, everything works fine.

Is tihs a bug, is there a workaroound?

Any help would be appriciated.

using Flash 8 PRO

Thanks,

Tom

Use %26 rather than the "&" character in the text file...

The "&" in Flash is reserved and used to signal the start of a new variable...
