Hi guys I’m quite new with Flash MX so I wonder if anyone could help me out with this:  
I’ve two movies. The first one is the main movie which load in a target an external movie. The second one (the one which is loaded into the main), load an external .txt and allow to run a search. Now the problem is that apparently when the second movie is loaded into the first one it’s not able to show a whole set of characters (like: à, é, è, ì, ù). It works if I run the loaded movie alone or if it’s loaded on level 0 instead of a target…can anyone explain me why is that???

Ok since I’ve gone so far let me ask another question! Is it possible to check when a pic loading is complete?? I mean when you use the action ‘loadmovie’ to load a .jpg it’s possible to check when the pic is fully loaded??

Hope I’ve been clear, it’s really important I fix this thing.

Thanx in advance  
GIANO

System.useCodepage = true;

or

Set ur textfile as unicode format, more faster though.

Did u try onLoad:

```php
myMovieClip = _level100;
myMovieClip.onLoad = function (){
trace("_level100 succesfully loaded");
}

```

Tell me how it goes.
