Q: 

Getting rid of & in ActionScript 2

I have a flash 8 app that's reading an XML file. In the file are nodes containing the & character.

When these values are rendered they come out as "&"

How do I stop this?

A: 

Try comparing the output of

childNodes.firstChild

to

childNodes.firstChild.nodeValue
