[swfmill] Error with compiling textfield with "><" characters

Yes. In an XML document if you want to input one of the big 5
characters (<,>,&,",') in an attribute or text node you need to encode
it to its entity. So instead of < use &lt;

<font id="fontDeliciousRoman" import="assets/Delicious-Roman.ttf"
glyphs="&lt;"/>

Enjoy!

Steve

PS. You can't use a CDATA section in an attribute value.
