Hello all, I have weird problem with flash, I haven’t seen it before anyway. Let me sketch the situation, I have to update a very very old horribly written site by somebody else. It’s written in Flash 5 and when changing versions it doesn’t work anymore. So I kinda don’t want to mess with this or change too much about it. Let’s call this F5 movie **site.swf** So I made a frameset ( **frameset.swf** ) around it which I can load flash 8 in so I can add the video player that is requested. So I did that and and with minimal change everything worked. ( Btw everything needs to be in one swf cause they want everything scalable as one. ) BUT, there is a textfield with some descriptions in the _site.swf_ that loads dynamic html content into this field with loadVariables. And when tracing this the text from _site.swf_ it’s fine. The problem signs like é, ‘, and ’ work fine. But when tracing from _frameset.swf_ they mess up and I get this crap ¿½, ‘. I didn’t change anything about the loading and want to change as little as possible, but the actual text that gets put in the textfield traces different in the different swf’s. Help or suggestions would be very much appreciated 🙂
