missing punctuation in dynamic text field


missing punctuation in dynamic text field sucralose

macromedia flash sitedesign: Hi there,

I'm having a weird problem where flash is killing some of the punctuation in a
dynamic text field, but not all... i seem to be missing the apostrophe. I've
got a blog-type site that passes info from mysql to flash via php... i checked
mysql database in phpmyadmin and the punctuation is there, and the php i used
to get the data INTO the database didn't kill the punctuation, so i'm assuming
i've done something wrong in flash.

I've set the field to dynamic, multiline, embedded the font, plus all the
punctuation, and even tried different fonts and get the same result.

any ideas what would cause this ?

Does your PHP url-encode the data?
On Flash, you would then "unescape()" the text.
