Each day I buy up and appearance from the Forbes listing of the richest us residents. If I’m not really there, Time passes to be effective.
There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There’s time for work. And time for love. That leaves hardly any other time!

thanks very-very-very-very much!!!!!!!!!
i don’t know if now a days there is a better solution to encode or decode ascii characters or special characters found in html code, but this still works GREAT!
I have an xml file: if loaded like so:

works, but if placed in a webserver and loaded through an HTTPService did not translate the characters like ‘ (#039).
After 2 days of desperate googling i finally landed here and got the solution.
Thanks again!

Doesn’t work with many HTML entities such as “è”, “à”, “ê” and so on.
A similar trick, using a TextField htmlText property doesn’t work better. AS3 only know a few HTML entities.
