Loadvars to load external text file åäö is not possible?

Hi, this is my first post here.
The code it concerns is this: (which I found here on kirupa i belive)
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
myText_txt.text.embedFonts = true;
myText_txt.text = this.myVariable;

};
myData.load(“myText1.txt”);

The problem: As I from Sweden and we have to use åäö sometimes, I would like this to work!
I added “myText_txt.text.embedFonts = true” which wasn’t included in the original code.
Didn’t help, also tried at properties for the text field, embeding the fonts there, but that made all text disapear. Thanks m8’s in advance.
