Hi there. Just a quick question or two. I’m loading an external .txt file into a dynamic textbox, however, my special characters do not display (namely the % sign). Is there a way to fix this.

Thanks.

BTW, if this helps, the .txt file was created in Simpletext (MacOS 9.2) and the dynamic textbox is in a file created in Flash MX 2004 Professional (MacOS X). I use the following code to load the textbox:

loadVariables(“test.txt”,this);
