Hi Mr Kirupa,

I followed your tutorial on Flash MX on scrolling Dynamically loaded text and it worked wonderfully … But I encountered one small problem… The external text file contains German text characters (and the whole text file is in German) eg Ü ä ß ö Ö etc and player doesn’t read it and instead gives squares etc… If I do it as scrollable internal text, the german characters come out fine but the italics are not interpreted… I am only a beginner to intermediate with Flash so would you have any suggestion of what I am doing wrong ?? :book:
