I have a dynamic text box that loads an external text. The text has some
special characters due to some extra letters in my native alphabet. These
characters renders out as expected when I export my movie to flash 5 format,
but NOT when I export to flash 6 or later!

Does somebody know why or how to fix this

My static text shows these characters as normal in both versions and both my
dynamic and static textfield uses device font!

Hi

Flash 5 reads text files formated as ANSI and will display unicode characters.
With Flash 6 you have to resave the text file in note pad as UTF-8 format this
allows for characters not in the ISO 8859-1 standard to be displayed
correctly. This solved the issue we were having trying to display some
hungarian characters

Hope this help

That's exactly right, Dan! Works like a charm now...
