Loading external txts with NON Standard ASCII characters

Hello everybody. This is my first post here.
I’ve used a Kirupa tuto for loading externat txts in a dynamic text box and works…
but the problem is I’m spanish and we use accents and the break c: ç

So I changed the externat txts to html files in order to use accents, but…
as Flash uses the “wonderful” ampersand to change between texts blocks, everytime I write an accent or a ç , Flash thinks this is the end of the text and hides the next text.
So, there’s is a way to use externat txts or html with non standard ASCII loaded in Flash?
