Convert html characters to text in Flash - AS3

Question

I need to create an editable XML file to deliver content to a flash site.

I create my file with the html form and htmlspecialcharsfor example:

    $currentItem = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($currentItem));

This is to prevent the writing of XML characters that lead to the error "XML parsing error: not correctly formed , for example

<entry title="Words & Things">
---------------------^

It has a side effect that the flash file file displays html codes for the content, and not the corresponding characters.

Is there a good way to convert codes back as soon as they are read into a Flash file (as3)?
