Replace double quotes with something else from user entry field

[wfzen]

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,

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.
