Re: [Flashcoders] Converting & in a URL?

[Sascha Balkau]

Btw one more question ... is there a way to convert & (and other special 
chars) NOT to be converted when shown in a Flash HTML textfield? I've tried 
it with str.split("&").join(\\%26amp;) but it just would trace out the 
whole string plus the \%26. Are there any char codes for this that doesn't 
get translated in a html textfield?

Thanks,
Sascha

Are you outputting these URLs or using them in getURL()?

That should work in getURL(). But if you're outputting them, one way to
convert them is to use HTML text fields.

Or, if you can't change the text fields, try this:

str = "Sometext with an &amp; in.";

function convert(str, from, to) {
return str.split(from).join(to);
}

trace(convert(str, "&amp;", "&"));

Hi list,

does ActionScript have any facilities to convert special characters like
&amp; into just &? I have one Flash movie that reads URLs from an RDF file
where all URLs are written with &amp; inside the adress. My client would
like these special chars to be converted to '&'. Does Flash has anything 
to
do that automatically (haven't found anything so far) or do I have to 
write
my own convert method?

Thanks for help,
Sascha
