I’m having a problem in the construction of 2 of my websites in that I am loading the text content from an external source, the exact same way that is shown in the Flash MX tutorial on kirupa and it works great. Makes things a lot easier and cleaner. However, if my text is French or Spanish then it no longer reads any characters that are not typically english. I get boxes where I should have letters with accents.

Any help on this would be great. Thanx
