Hi!  
I’m making a login area in Flash, that validates de email && password in a mysql database.  
So I have two input text boxes, but I can’t type some special characters like @  
I’ve already embed fonts and included some characters I need but the problem remains.  
Anyone can help me?

I verified that this is appening because my input text box has an instance name. But I need it!

Thanks!
