Hey,

I followed the tutorial on [http://www.gotoandlearn.com/](http://www.gotoandlearn.com/) about html and css in flash.

But in the HTML document I have characters like é&àç but flash dont display them.  
And when I use & ` â … flash wont display them either.  
Who knows what I should do.

The font I use can display these characters so that is not the problem.  
If I add \<meta http-equiv=“Content-Type” content=“text/html; charset=UTF-8” on the beginning of the html document nothing loads.

And System.useCodepage = true; wont help.  
I use actionscript 2 and flash 7 as publish settings.
