Flex Mxml and property as string, escaping ?? Help

Hi,

A simple problem: If i use escape characters for a property such as

<mx:Image  id="img" toolTip="\\foo{\\bar}"

It wont validate toolTip and therefore not compile.

What is the solution ?

From stackoverflow

• Damn ... flex uses { so i have to escape it.

• You can use ActionScipt for example in a creationComplete event handler and assign you tooltip and you won't have the same constraints as in MXML.

  But you also can avoid these constraints in MXML by using CDATA:

  <mx:Image id="img" source="foo.jpg" width="50" height="50">
  <mx:toolTip>
   <![CDATA[\foo{\bar} or any usually forbidden characters as <, >, &, "'"...]]>
  </mx:toolTip></mx:Image>
