I'm using this chart:

As a reference to incorporate symbols into a url encoded text file. This text file will be imported into a dynamic text box in Flash.
Everything I've input has worked fine except for the standard bullet.
Code - %95
Any reason why this wouldn't show when I view the swf?
I am using Text Edit on a mac. Any particular plain text encoding I should use? Unicode 16 or 8? Western?
Thanks,

u trying to do a UL (unordered list)? or just add a bullet to something?

did you HTML enable the textfield?
- Buckyball20
to answer both. standard bulleted list and yes the text field is HTML enabled.
I found this auto encoder but it puts %20 for every single space. Kind of annoying because this is eventually going to the client so they can edit later down the road. Trying to keep the txt file as simple to read as possible for them.

use flash escape() with the font you'll be using in your file, as a reality check.

ordered lists are kinda funky. but it was all tags.
I've got to run downtown for the day. but i'll see if I can find it later

(May 4 06, 08:52)I don't think he wants the client to see all the %20s and stuff. But if thats cool, then yeah escape it.
don't think it works with bullits though...
are you using embedded text? Make sure you've got the punctuation embedded too

i suggested escaping a bit of text to see if the bullet gets excaped to the same code he's trying to insert it with, just as a test. i've tried to insert characters and later realized the font i was using didn't have that particular char, d'oh!

Had a quick follow up question on this post. Why do some of the lines of text in my boxes have almost an aliased/fuzzier look and some don't? About halfway down in the copy you'll see what I'm talking about.

This copy is being imported from a text file externally and my dynamic text box is set to Selectable and render as HTML
