Less than character in strings not showing?

Hi

Maybe I'm forgetting something about strings here, but I cannot get the < character to appear in a string. Also, any characters after the < in the string don't show. I have tried escaping it like \<, but no go.

I have punctuation embedded in the font.

Anyone know?

Thanks for taking a look.

I think this has been around for a long time. I usually end up replacing it with &lt;

Hey,

I work on the flash Runtime team and we'd like to investigate your problem further.

Could you please open a new bug report on this over at https://bugbase.adobe.com/ ? When adding the bug, please include sample code so we can quickly test this out internally.

If you would like to keep this private, feel free to eail the attachment to me directly and I will attach it to the bug for internal use only.

After reading Rothrock's answer, I realised I'm specifying myfield.htmlText = "...

So naturally, the < will break it, due to it being htmlText

Using &lt; in it's place fixed to the problem.

Thanks to both of you!
