Hello all,
I need to display special characters (more specifically, french accented letters) that are being loaded into Flash from an xml file. I tried a number of “tricks” that are supposed to make these characters visible, but I still cannot see them.
To sum up:
- I have put this tag at the beginning of my xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- I am using notepad to save my xml files in a utf-8 encoding
- I put this comment at the beginning of the first frame of the scene where the characters should be displayed:
//!-- UTF-8
- Right after that, I also have:
System.useCodepage = true;
From what I have read on this and other sites, any one of these methods should allow the characters to show up, but it’s still not working even when I use all of the above. I might be missing something obvious, but for now I’m thoroughly puzzled. Any ideas (other than using unicode escape characters, which I would really rather avoid)?
Thanks,
C
