Ampersands in AIR system tray tooltip

Question

I have an AIR app that I have developed for a client.

It has a system tray icon with the company name, app name etc, displayed in a tooltip.

This all works very simply except that the client in question has a & in their name.

No matter how I encode this, it never seems to get displayed.

Anyone come across this before, or have any workarounds?

If you're directly assigning the tooltip a string of characters sometimes creating a string variable that contains the text you want and assigning that variable to the tooltip will work. I've used this before under various circumstances, but never for a system tray tooltip.
