hello,

im trying to get a text from an XML file…

```auto

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<portfolio>

            <HEADER>
                         <MAINtxt>1&#1513;&#1513;&#1513;&#1513;&#1513;&#1513;&#1513;</MAINtxt>
                         <1txt>111</1txt>
                         <2txt>2222</2txt>
                         <3txt>&#1496;3333</3txt>

            </HEADER>
</portfolio>

```

simple xml… but has Hebrew…  
when i load it to my flash and post it to a text field i get something else…  
not hebrew… its like somewhere in the loading of the xml the hebrew disapears…and becomes something else…

and when i use TRACE… i get the same thing in the output …

isnt this line supose to say that all chars will be suported (hebrew chars…)

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

```

encoding=“UTF-8”

any way if someone knows how to use other langueges with XML  
please help me…

thanks,

```
   stas
