Actually, this original thread (almost two months old now) was about
character entities in XML related to the xfactorstudio's Xpath classes -
rather different subject than character entities in HTML from XML text.
The solution I reached with the help of this list was to use a trick
with the XML class:
function decodeEntities(entityString:String):String {
var x:XML = new XML(""+entityString+"");
x.parseXML();
return x.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
};

Re: [Flashcoders] Decoding xml text w/no CDATA allowed
I think you just need to set the Dynamic text field to render HTML in
the properties panel - its the button that looks like "<>". I have xml
that has ""Special"" and it works fine.

Re: [Flashcoders] Decoding xml text w/no CDATA allowed
That does appear to be the case, i tried the following:
textfield.htmlText = currentPand.firstChild;
which shows 'this is bold' instead of bold text
On the other hand, this:
textfield.htmlText = currentPand.firstChild.nodeValue;
Shows the text in bold, as would be expected. So i suppose using nodeValue
automatically decodes the entities.

RE: [Flashcoders] Decoding xml text w/no CDATA allowed
Thanks Ryan, that's what I was looking for. So this must be a failing
of XFactorstudio's Xpath classes - and Flash's xml.parseXML() or
nodeValue does the decoding automatically? Or does anyone know a way to
get Xfactorstudios Xpath classes to decode entities?

Hey thanks Jim - I'll try this out. Looks like there is a decode(string) function in Actionscript 3.0, so hopefully this issue will go away when the 9 player gains wide acceptance.
