htmlentities from php - xml - list componant? CS3

[chidge]

Hi guys and gals

I have a list box in my flash file that I would like to display a string from an xml file that has been run though html entities in php

so for instance I need the string


Hey "Leonardo£$£$()*%£% '"' [1999]

to display as

Hey "Leonardo£$£$()*%£% '"' [1999]

I can get this to happen in my dynamic text boxes by using .htmlText to display but I have no idea how I would do this in the list box?

Any ideas - bit of an actionscript noob here.

Thanks in advance

wooohooo I win :)

just convert the string using

utf8_encode()

in php before I write it to the xml file - works a treat
