Hey.  
i have a question concerning the use of ‘special characters’  
im making a flash movie targeting people whom speak Swedish, and i need the three last characters in our alphabet to do this ÄÅÖ

i have a MySql database with the data in it sending it to my flash movie

```auto

&id1=42&titel1=jacuzzi&text1=en ny Jacuzzi har nu blivit installerad på lärarrummet&picone1=http://xev.mine.nu/edit.jpg&pictwo1=none&picthree1=NOE&footer1=grattis&ort1=holaveden
&total=1

```

and a flash file reading it.

```auto

newsItems=new Array();
myVars = new LoadVars();
myVars.load("http://xev.mine.nu/nyheter/news.php?search=hola","0");
myVars.onLoad = function() {	
	total=myVars.total;
	//trace(total);
	for (x=0;x<=(total-1);x++) {
		newsItems[x] = new Array();
		what="id"+(x+1);
        newsItems[x][0] = myVars[what];
		what="titel"+(x+1);
		newsItems[x][1] = myVars[what];
		what="text"+(x+1);
        newsItems[x][2] = myVars[what];
		trace(newsItems[x][0]+","+newsItems[x][1]+","+newsItems[x][2]);
	}
	test1.text=newsItems[0][2]
}	

```

the trace statement print out this,  
42,jacuzzi,en ny Jacuzzi har nu blivit installerad p��rrummet  
i though i just needed to include my font, spcify the character ranges and write in any special characters in the window at the bottom  
but that did nothing , the characters are just omited when i try to show em in flash

```auto

System.UseCodePage=true;

```

i saw that sumwere and added it too , but that just gave me errors

any help appreciated
