RE: FLASH: Using ascii codes in Flash variables for text formatting?

[Dan Sobczak]

Looks like the only way it *can* be done is as an Expression, and not a

string literal...  At least, that's as far as I got. But that's all I really

needed to do for this one project.


If there is a way to do it as a string literal, I'd also love to hear

anyone's suggestion!


Thanks,

-Dan
