Hi, I’m loading data from text files. I’m using the url-encoding as found on [[color=#800080]http://www.macromedia.com/support/f…rl\_encoding.htm[/color]](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/url_encoding.htm)  
When exporting and viewing the swf file it works for characters like &, but not for characters like é, è, à etc. The .txt file contains html.

I’ve tried different fonts, such as Arial, Verdana and others but I have got the same problem with all of the used fonts. So I guess it’s not font specific.

I’ve set Flash MX 2004 to “include these characters”: éèà  
Still they don’t show up.

Any idea?
