I’m going mad about this Flash problem now. I’m loading an external .txt file into Flash 2004 MX. I’m using swedish letter åäö and I guess they are badguy in this problem. If I save the text file into regular text format these lettes will only show as squares and other weird symbols.  
Then if I save the textfile as unicode it works perfectly in Flash player, but not when viewed in the HTML document.

Is there any kind soul out there who knows a solution to this prob? I would be a much happier dude if you could help me. PEACE.
