Displaying "foreign" characters in AS 2

1

hello scripting geniuses,

I am working on modifying some hangman games for the language teachers where I teach…

I am stumped about how to alter the letter options in the ActionScript.

For instance:
[LIST]
[]The Latin teacher wants to omit the letters J and V since in the Latin language the letters do not exist.
[] The French teacher is spooking me even more with phrases like:
Comment t’appelles-tu?. How on EARTH will I get the ', - and ? marks in ??
[*]What about the ’ and ` marks over certain vowels?[/LIST]The existing code says this:


// create alphabet as text and buttons
    private function createAlphabet():Void {
        mcAlphabet = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcAlphabet", 1);
        var nXPos:Number = 0;
        for (var i:Number = 65; i <= 90; i++) {
            var sLetter:String = String.fromCharCode(i);
            var cgl:GameLetter = GameLetter(mcAlphabet.attachMovie("GameLetter", "cgl_" + sLetter, mcAlphabet.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x: nXPos, letter: sLetter}));
            cgl.addEventListener("click", Delegate.create(this, onLetterClicked));
            nXPos += 14;
        }
    }

Now from my research I understand that this line:

 for (var i:Number = 65; i <= 90; i++) {

essentially sets the variable to be A-Z (capital alphabet).

how do I

a) omit letters
b) add letters +/or characters?

Oh please wise makers of code and .flas… help a frazzled computer teacher?

…peace
