Importing text from a external text.txt works just fine, but;  
I can not get Flash to understand å ä ö (yes, Swedish characters!) It does not work using html encoding:

å  
ä  
ö

So how to solve this? I need to use those characters, å, ä and ö.

Put this in your actionscript:

```auto
System.UseCodePage=true; 

```
