Sorry, Eric, I didn't explain myself very well. Yes, getting the coder to send you strings that are properly formatted to start with is going to fix your problem.
But you could consider getting him to replace the "\" character with "\\" instead of "/" - because that should cure your problem. \ is often interpreted as an escape character by many languages. So if it's in front of almost anything in a string, it'll 'mangle' the next character or few characters. For example, "\n" is replaced by the newline character. "\t" is replaced by the TAB character. And so on. If you actually want to include a backslash in the string, you use "\\". So in many languages, to specify a Windows pathname you'd use double-slashes throughout. e.g. "C:\\Program Files\\MyFolder\\MyApp.exe" Hope that makes sense, Ian On 11/16/05, eric dolecki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yup - going to get this fixed up before Flash sees it. \u screws things > too... so getting proper / should work I hope. > > e.dolecki > > _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
