Hello,

I am using, in Flash MX, a dynamic text box with a scrollbar and getting my text from a txt file. The actual text in that file has accents (éèàê …). When I run the script, I get square symbols where the actented letters should be. Can someone let me know how to have these letters show up correctly?

Thank you.
