Works fine to import text from a textfile, but I can not get the characters å, ä and ö to show up properly in the textfield inside my flashfile (.swf)  
Yes, å, ä and ö is swedish. In html they are coded like:

å, ä and ö

But Flash doesn’t seem to understand that. Or, what is it I don’t understand?

Use this in your code:

```php
System.UseCodePage=true; 

```
