Hi! I have a little problem:ex:

I have to put a text from an external source:  
this is the code i put:  
[INDENT]var loading = new LoadVars();  
var textInterval:Number;  
loading.load(“aboutme.txt”);

loading.onLoad = function (success){  
if (success) {  
textInterval = setInterval(writeStuff, 2000)  
} else {  
trace (“don’t found”);  
}  
}

function writeStuff():Void {  
clearInterval(textInterval);  
\_root.testo1.text = loading.testoa; “testo1” \<— text box in flash  
} “testoa” \<— text in .txt file  
[/INDENT]The code work but characters as à,è,ò,ì,ù are not visualized on the text box in the .swf file.  
The question is: How can i put it?? i’m a noob on AS code, and if you can explain what i have to do you will be very kind :pleased:
