Hi !

Being from Norway there’s important for me that my Flash application load special characters like æ,ø,å.

How do i load them with loadvars();

When I’ve loaded the variables from the page, and access them, i only get the string before the special character loaded.

I’ve tried to return them with e.g. å which doesn’t help me at all…

My Example code:

var d = new LoadVars();  
d.onLoad = showValues;  
d.load("\<somesitewhichreturnssomething\>");

function showValues()  
{  
trace(this);  
trace(this.var1);  
trace(this.var2);  
}
