Symbols like % not showing in text variable

[DANOFATLANTA@YAHOO.C]

Hi

I'm pulling text from an PHP file which is displayed in a dynamic textfield.
The text has the % symbol in it which won't display once it's rendered.

The PHP text looks like "40% Chance of Rain"
The Flash text box displays "40Chance of Rain"

The flash file reads the text, but does not display the % sign. It has the
same issue with other special characters also.

How do I get it to display the % as part of the text?

Depending on how you are using the info, you may have to pass % as %25.

Flash has two functions (depending on what is being encoded and when). Look up:

escape() and encodeURI()
