Replace double quotes with something else from user entry field

I need to pass Flash data to Lectora. Lectora has problem with special characters (e.g. double quotes, single quotes, line break) from Flash.

How do I identify double quotes and change them to something else? I can't do """ with quote inside. It's not acceptable.

Thanks,

Correct answer kglad

you can use backslash to escape any character, or use single quotes to define double quotes and double quotes to define single quotes:

var s:String=yourtextfield.text.split('""').join('whatever');

hint: use the trace statement and a new project to experiment and see how strings/arrays work.
