Text needs to be URL encoded. If you're using PHP, pass it to
urlencode() before sending. Otherwise, use %25 to represent the
percentage sign.

75%25 is 75%.

url encode your % sign using %25:

I have a .fla that gets text from a PHP file (which pulls it from a MySQL
record). I have the PHP utf8_encode the text first to make sure my French
characters come through, but for some reason the percent sign '%' never
comes through. If I have a line of text like:
"I only got 75% on my last test."
Flash is only displaying:
"I only got 75 on my last test."

I've viewed the output of the PHP file in a web-browser and it appears fine
there, I'm stumped, any suggestions?

Thanks
Tim

Thanks for the reply... I will go with the %25 , I find that the urlencode
generates too many discrepancies between European French and CDN French
displays, I don't know why though..

I'll go for the utf8_encode and use the %25.. Thanks again
