Text acentuation instability

1

I have set some text in my code to be displayed in a text box, showing which chapter the user has selected.
Like this:

cap01 = "TEORIA / Arte - Capítulo 1";

I don`t know what happens, but sometimes all the words with accents get mixed up with strange characters.

cap01 = "TEORIA / Arte - **Cap’tulo** 1";

This also happens with all the comments in the code.
[color=red]" í “[/color] is substituted by [color=blue]” ’ “[/color].
[color=red]” ó “[/color] is substituted by [color=blue]” - “[/color].
[color=red]” çã " [/color] is substituted by [color=blue]" =‹ "[/color].

Does someone know how to prevent this changes?

I know I could write the comments w/o accents, but I need the text, that will be displayed to users, with the right acentuation and characters.

When you load in text, you can load in chars from the list on the bottom of this:

Another big, big problem.
I will have to use the URL encoding in tons of text.
What should I do to change so many letters to URL encoding?
Microsoft Word has a tool to replace words, but I dont think it will work to change specific letters.
Does anyone have a tip? :thumb:

No…I know of no way. I’m sorry. Maybe someone else does.

Put that at the beginning of your movie on a frame.

It does sometimes slow your movie down, but it seems to be your only option.
