Hi, thanks, but that doesn't work.  I need something to decode the
literals, such as 'lt', 'quot', iacute, etc.

Ah, I believe those HTML entities. You may find support in some HTML utils...

A hack if all fails: (?)

var stringWithHtmlLits:String = lt; its ok gt;;

var t:TextField = new TextField();
t.htmlText = stringWithHtmlLiterals;

var nonLits:String = t.text;
