Characters missing from Dynamic Text file

[alexstanhope]

Hi all!

I'm using a Dynamic Text box on a page, which is populated from an external .TXT file - I have noticed that if I place characters such as a plus symbol like the following + into the file, it is not shown in the page...does anyone have any idea what if anything I can do about this? I have tried adding ASCII codes for this type of character but they do not work!

Also, is it possible to use the IMG HTML tag in the .TXT file to show images - once again, I have tried this and it doesn't want to work!

You should use urlencoded letters like the + sign will be %2b

Heres a chart.

Or let Flash urlencode evrything first and the copy the results to the textfile. ( you use the escape() function ).
