Aargh, the shoemaker's children are barefoot.
I am creating a static dataProvider for the combobox:
_aHC2SODP = [{data:"0", label:"0 °F"},{data:"20", label:"2 °F"}];
//looking for the "degree" symbol
But the above renders literally.
I have discovered that building a string in actionscript and then assigning it
to a Label.text also does *not* work:
var sTemp:String = "0 °F";
lbltest.text = sTemp;
The entity code renders literally.
But declaratively, the degree symbol renders as desired:
<mx:Label text="0 °F" />
So one sure solution is to create my static dataProviders declaratively. So I
guess my question changes to "Is there some way to do this in AS?"

Ha! I've always wanted to say this to you: "Post your code". :-)
Isn't that XML syntax that won't work in a CDATA block of ActionScript?

The special character numeric references work fine in Label and Text and such,
but are interpreted literally in a ComboBox's drop list.
Any sugestions?
