Thank you for your advice but we I need to use XOR because I
am using Director shockwave to decript and .asp to encrypt it. I
know how Director will read it already.
I am just trying to understand the basics so I can add a
little extra security on the .asp side.
I am also going to add changing varable so the encryption
will be fine (so there will be 2 different types of encryptions).
I just do not know how to write in .asp with Vbscript like I
wrote in the original message. I am not actually going to do that
exact thing. But if I see that I can apply the usage the way I need
it.
So if any one knows how to properly write what I need I could
use that for my project.

Just to give my 2 cents:
1) XOR against a string of text is NOT a strong encryption
algorithm. It would probably be one of the FIRST things a
determined hacker would try.
2) If you do choose to use XOR, be advised that you could end
up with "non XML-safe" characters.
3) If you need strong encryption, DO NOT USE XOR algorithms.
