Flash/XML/Querystring

• ********

  I'm having a bit of a problem getting Flash to parse a querystring that is loaded via an XML file.

  The link may be something like news.asp?cid=1&pid=2

  When the flash file reads the XML file, and you click on the loaded link, it comes out like news.asp?cid=1&pid=2

  I have tried replacing the '&' with both 'amp;' and '%26' but neither works.

  Any help appreciated...

  yes, use cdata, or store those values, "cid", "pid" etc, as attributes on the xml node, and then use flash to construct a string for the url

  var url:String = "news.asp?cid=" + myCid + "&pid=" + myPid;

  where "myCid" and "myPid" are flash variables set when your xml is parsed.

  url encode the string in the xml, then unescape it inside of flash

  var theURL:String = unescape(xmlURL);
