Flash & XML problem

[Cryptic]

I'm using this Bounce Menu from http://www.faithornstudios.com/

I am having a little problem with trying to use anchor tags inside the XML. My XML skills are slim to none since this is the first time I’ve used it at all. I can not seem to get XML, or maybe it’s Flash, to pass the “#” symbol to the browser.

The first line (Liquid Rheostats) will just pass “products.html” to browser. The “#rheostats” just gets dropped.

So I tried using the

& # 0 3 5 ;  (minus the spaces, it was getting parsed to the # sign)

which is the unicode (I think that’s what you would call it) for the # sign. That did the same thing as above.

	<button name = "Products">
		<subitem name = "Liquid Rheostats" location="products.html#rheostats"></subitem>
		<subitem name = "Controls" location="products.html#controls"></subitem>
		<subitem name = "Switch Gear" location="products.html£switchgear"></subitem>
	</button>

I tried using other characters which do seem to work. Example would be

products.html&#163controls

or

products.html£controls

Which both will render “products.html£controls” to the browser. So why doesn’t the # sign get passed through?



Any help would be greatly appreciated
