Flash form+php(kirupa tutorial)/messages sent by form show strange characters - uncorrect stressing for latin languages

I tested flash + php form ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/act...h\_php\_email.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/act...h_php_email.htm)) , and noticed message field does not send messages correctly when words stressing is needed (á à , é , í , ó , ão ) ;  
I received strange characters when typed stressed words :

á é i ó u ão à pão cão árvore ;

what has to be changed on the code to allow stressing ??

cheers

I had this problem too

at first I tought i would have to write something in the PHP, but than I discovered the problem was in the Flash doc…

You have to put this code in Flash:

System.useCodepage = true;

just that and you sold the problem
