[thelist] Replace " ' " with " \' " in actionscript???

[Scott Blanchard]

Trying to pass a string from flash to javascript errors out when the string 
contains apostrophes. Is there a built in function that allows one to 
replace  or escape problematic characters?

ie,

str = "Bob'e Bikes are great!"

str = str.replace("'", "\'")

does not work, why?
