unescape

Hi, in Flash I am using google translate to take some text, translate it and then put it back in a text box in a chosen language. I have a list of languages to choose etc and it works fine except i end up with things like u0026quot (in the trace) being returned and then using unescape() seems to help but results in uuot still being displayed. The key part of the code is at the bottom of the following.

Any suggestions welcome.
Tom

on (release) {

	var lorem_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
	txtLang.text = "Current language code is: " + lstLang.getSelectedItem().data;
	strLang = lstLang.getSelectedItem().data;
	btnReset._visible = true
	
	if (strLang == null) {
		strLang = "en";
		txtLang.text = lstLang.getSelectedItem().data;
	}

	lorem_lv.onData = function(src:String):Void  {
		clip(src);
		trace(src);
	}

	strSource = escape(txtContent.text);
	//strSource = txtContent.text;
	lorem_lv.load("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&q=" + strSource + "&langpair=en%7C" + strLang);

	function clip(str:String):Void {
		find_me = "translatedText";
		trace("Found "+str.indexOf(find_me));
		str = str.substr(str.indexOf(find_me)+17, str.length);
		str = str.substr(0, str.indexOf("},")-1);
		txtContent.htmlText = unescape(str);
	}
