That's my xml node:

```
 <node att="something &lt; something else"> </node>

```

When i write in my code :

```
trace(xml.node.@att.toString());

```

it prints out the string :

> 
> something < something else
> 
> 
> 

My problem is that i need to print out the orriginal string:

```
 something $lt; something else //put $ instead of &

```

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks in advance.
