im having some troubles getting flash to show chacracters like öåä (vital characters in the swedish language)

i have a mysql database set up with the variable i wanna show.  
a .php document that gives it to it.  
the mysql table has the right variable in it ( it seems to allow those characters)  
the .php document that transfers the variables seems to also allow it  
but they are just ommited in the .swf movie

any help plz ( i have already included the font i am using (which lets me type the öåä in static text boxes))

files …

[http://81.229.231.191/files.php?test=2](http://81.229.231.191/files.php?test=2)  
thats what the movie sees

[http://81.229.231.191/files.php](http://81.229.231.191/files.php)  
is were you can change the values

.swf is at  
[http://81.229.231.191/testing.swf](http://81.229.231.191/testing.swf)

.fla is at  
[http://81.229.231.191/testing.fla](http://81.229.231.191/testing.fla)

im aware of a small error in the .php file but it does not affect the test=2 page so im not bothering 😛

any help would be greatly appreciated
