Hi,  
Is it possible to type chinese into flash without them being turned into question marks?  
Whenever i try to type it, i turns into this “???” instantly. I know that it is possible to type chinese into some other programs like a text file, and then load it into a dynamic text box. But is there a way to directly type chinese in Flash MX into… lets say… a static text box?  
Or is there any settings/options in flash that i need to configure, or any plugins that allows chinese text input?

Thanks.
