I cannot get an email form to recognize spanish characters (á,é, í, ó, ú, ñ, Ñ). I’m copying the form from a previous flash site I did on Flash MX. I’m also including the “system.useCodepage = true;” code on the first frame of the movie.

When the message is sent the characters are displayed incorrectly.

Is there a workaround for Flash 8 since many of old the coding changed in the new release??
