This sounds like your problem: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-18326
Fixed in the 3.0.3 that recently went out, according to the release notes. -----Original Message----- From: thibodeau.alain <thibodeau.al...@yahoo.com> Reply-To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] AsyncToken with special chars Date: Thu, 05 Mar 2009 16:58:59 -0000 Hi there, I've run into an issue that I am sure others have, but I cannot find a solution. I am using cairngorm with a webservice. I need to send in my soap body the less than and greater than characters. In my mxml based on user input, I use <>. I follow the call and flex converts the <> to <> until the AsyncToken gets a hold of it. It should convert it back to <> for the soap call, however it takes the first & and converts that too.. so the outgoing soap looks like this "&lt;>" instead of "<>". Anyone know why this is happening or a solution? Thanks in advance
