heya!

I have an dinamic text box that support htmltext and I have a problem with chars. For example, in html the char á is &aacute but in flash don’t reconize it :-/

I try to use System.useCodePage = true; but without success.

Exist any way to flash reconize that ? or some function in php to convert &aacute to á and chars like this ??
