500 points. Flash will not load a whole paragraph with & symbol in it. Only whats in front of it.

Try giving \&

use htmlspecialchars

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php

I tried htmlspecialchars and it didnt work. basicly if someone is writing a posting on my site and decide to use '&' instead of 'and'. then it should show up. I dont know if something needs to change in Flash or PHP.

Flash:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("Load_Event_Info.php");
loadText.onLoad = function(){
EventBox.text=loadText.Event1;}

PHP:
print("Event1 = $Event);

Didnt work:
print(htmlspecialchars("Event1=$Event"));

when i ran the php file. Everything showed up. But everything wont show up in Flash.

Hmm. Sorry, I'm not really a Flash programmer. I just assumed that was where your problem was. I did a quick Google search and I think I found the solution: http://www.jabbypanda.com/blog/?p=4

Basically, Flash needs the text to be url-encoded. So use "$html = urlencode($html);"
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php

Well i tried the example and it didnt work. i just want whatever the customer inputs in. it will show up. This shouldnt be so hard to do. :o(

Ah, I just looked at the link I provided again. Apparently, "+" is a special character that needs to be escaped. With url encode, spaces become '+'. Try using "rawurlencode()" instead.

i've read that it has something to do with Flash not reading special characters.

escape(text) is the function being used in flash.

asvforce, i dont understand.

Event1=escape("September 6, 2007- 1st day of Class for College Park Site

can you show us your ActionScript and PHP code so we can see whats going on?

PHP:
$query = @mysql_query("SELECT Event FROM $MainTable WHERE Id = '1'");
while($ourData = @mysql_fetch_array($query)){
$Event = $ourData["Event"];}

print("Event1=$Event");

This is what is printed when PHP is ran by itself:
Event1=September 6, 2007- 1st day of Class for College Park Site
October 6, 2007- 1st day of Class for Smyrna
March 6, 2008 - ParentMeeting /Recital & Costume Money Due for College Park Site

Flash:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("Load_Event_Info.php");
loadText.onLoad = function(){
EventBox.text=loadText.Event1;}

In Flash i get this:
September 6, 2007- 1st day of Class for College Park Site
October 6, 2007- 1st day of Class for Smyrna
March 6, 2008 - ParentMeeting /Recital

When i should get this:
September 6, 2007- 1st day of Class for College Park Site
October 6, 2007- 1st day of Class for Smyrna
March 6, 2008 - ParentMeeting /Recital & Costume Money Due for College Park Site

When i take the '&' symbol and change it to 'and' it works. Everything shows up.
I know in PHP you used the '&' symbol to seperate variable being printed to Flash, but i know some how Flash came up with a way to override that if people decided to used the '&' in a paragraph or sentence.

MasonWolf you are great thank you. thats exactly what i needed it to do.
