Help with XML special characters in Flash

Hello,

I’m having some problems with special characters like á ã ç í in a xml file, loaded from a flash file. The result text appears without these characters like:

Original: Acentuação rápida
Result: Acentuao rpida

the XML is saved as UTF-8 encoding and its structure is like this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<content Name="NEWS">
    <article Thumb="news/thumb1.jpg" Large ="news/large1.jpg">
        <date>28 de janeiro de 2009</date>
        <copy_intro><![CDATA[Acentuação rápida.]]></copy_intro>
    </article>

    
</content>

The font used in the flash file is Arial, which accepts such characters. Can someone help me with this problem?
