I have an app that builds XML, the text nodes values are coming from the users.
How would I HTML encode that input to avoid bad characters?
Preferably looking for a built in solution in Action Script.

    I’ve used escape() and unescape() for POST variables in the past, not sure if it’s the best solution for XML though.

    This method seems promising: http://www.markledford.com/blog/2009/02/25/as3-htmldecode-htmlencode-xml-hack/

    You can also try converting the string to a textnode as mentioned in How do you encode XML safely with ActionScript 3?
