Webmaster Forum / Flash / Data Integration / December 2007

Hello there,

Would anyone have some insight on my problem here?  Your help is appreciated.

[b]Back Ground:[/b]
I have a swf stored on LAMP.  The site feeds data to the server which can
later be reachieved /rendered back to the site via swf files.  In other words
when I type text in my site's text editor and hit send, it's store on the db, I
log off, I come back to the site and can see the text through an swf file.  

[b]The Problem:[/b]
When I type certain characters like "&" (with out the quotations)... so it
really looks like...  &
When I type this symbol it completely blocks the rest of the text from
appearing up 'till that point.
Also, not sure what it is... but some of the text that does come through is
rendered as " ? " and " \ ".

Can this be a incompatibility issue with the swf text fields rendering text as
HTML?
Removing the HTML voids data integration..  correct?  Not sure? :)

Thanks again!
