problem with textField.htmlText and apostrophe (')

Apostrophe is shown in textField.htmlText as &apos (which is not a valid html encoding of apostrophe), intead of &#39. How can i change it开发者_JAVA百科?

It's ' you forgot the ";" at the end.

You can also use the escape character sequence for the apostrophe ( \' ), newline ( \n ), return ( \r ), and many other characters in the AS3 using an htmlText TextField.
