using the "/" as a string

[Mastamind]

Hello all,
I have a problem. Its probably a dumb question but I still gotta ask. Im a newbee to Actionscripting so your help will be greatly appreciated.
The problem I am having is that I want to attach text to a text field. In that text field I want to use the "/" as a slash not as math. Such as Apple/Orange/Lemon. When I type in the lline it reads as follows.
   this.b2.th1.text = "Apple / Orange / Lemon";
Only when I test the movie I only see "Apple Orange Lemon", no slashes.  How could I add the "/" to the text line so that it shows when I test the movie. Is this even possible? Please help. Thank you.

Hi Jorge,
the slash is a escape character to code characters not available on the keyboard, or hard to insert.

/n means new line, /t means tab etc.

If you need a slash inside of your string, you have to code it twice: // delivers you one slash in youre string.

You will find this in the most languages, at least at internet scripting

BTW: there is no such thing like dumb questions

If you are friendly asking, you will get an answer. Everybody has started sometimes
