Dynamic links not working in Flash?

[edd_jedi]

Using an external .txt file to render HTML text in Flash, I am having problems with links. It seems to be a problem with having dynamic characters in them such as ? or = for example. The link and all text after it just doesn't display at all. "normal" links to static pages of any length work fine.

Is this a known issue, and is there any way around it?

Hm....could you show us an example or some code?
It'd help a little bit

Yes, there is a way around this, you have to encode the URL.

You'll want to use the following to fix this. It's just flash having an issue with the different symbols, instead of the symbols use the unicode equivalents. Here are a few examples:

A space = %20
A $ = %24

Here is a great link that converts them for you.

This'll do it for ya.
