Problem Character in XML Node 1

[Sammybobo]

I've set up an XML with UTF-8 encoding to be used in Flash. The XML is set up with attributes. I am having problem with any attributes that need to have a quotation mark or an ampersand--like these:

<item desc=""Gone with the Wind"" />
<item comb="1 & 3"/>

What is the format for displaying quotation marks and ampersand in an attribute? Thanks.

For '"' (quotation mark) use '&#34;' or '&quot;'
For '&' (ampersand) use '&#38;' or '&amp;'
