Question about kirupa's News Ticker

Hey guys!

I used the tutorial to create a new product ticker and the code does what it supposed to, except from one thing. I use it in a Greek site and every time the title is in Greek it doesn’t show anything. When I use the List Variables from the Debug menu I see that every Greek character is a small box instead. How can we use other than Latin chars as well? And also i tried almost everything to display an image too but I couldn’t make it work. I enclose the .fla to see what I’m trying to do here.

Thanks in advance!
