Title: Special Chars. in AS










In MXML, Flex recognizes the following XML escape sequences
for named characters:

 

    < for <

    > for >

    & for &

    " for "

    &apos for '

 

I don't think there is any way to declare others, but you
can always specify any Unicode character by its numeric code, in either decimal
or hex. For example, either

 

    

 

or

 

    

 

will give you the character with code 13.

 

I don't happen to know the code for a degree symbol in
Unicode.

 

Inside an ActionScript string literal, the escape sequence would
be

 

    \u0D

You can use the "charmap"
utility on windows to see such symbols..

You can copy paste the degree sign in MXML
and it should show correctly.

 

 



    



 

 

Save your MXML file with UTF-8 encoding,
it should work.

Hi,

I need to display Celsius (250°C)
string in a Flex app. Data comes from CF and you can use
° in CF to show it correctly in HTML but when it comes to Flash Player,
it just spells it (°) out.

What should I use for special Chars?

Thanks
