Let's say I am loading variables from a text file or a server side web document into Flash.
If a variable contains "&" the loading (naturally) stops.

For example the text file contains:

name=Tome&company=Tom&Jerry&email=tom@jerry.com

"name" will load but "company" value will be cut to "Tom", "email" won't load at all.

I know you can replace the substring in Flash so "&" turns into "and" when submitting a form, you can also do tweaking in the server side file so it replaces "&" in the data loading but has someone found a better workaround?
