U would rather write a static utils class for it.

I was preparing to write a function to handle this, given that I need to handle all of the really odd HTML entities as well as the common ones, but then I stumbled upon this. Thanks a lot for a clever solution to this problem!

plauska: I've included the as2 versions in the post above. The functions are practically the same.

Okay the solution you proposed now produces extra characters.
full content comes here, this is a new line in the document

this is what is saved in the database, and when rendered I see content wiht out the HTML tags but the are funny blocks with in the text e.g. you hello my name is [] blah blah [].

using code

/***/
public function set html( html:String ):void {
/***/
_text.htmlText = new XML( new XMLDocument( html ).firstChild.nodeValue );
}

tf.htmlText = new XML();

P.S.
advice - don't use uppercase in tag names
