Hi All,

I used kirupa’s tutorial to dynamically load text from a txt file.

I put the following code into frame 1:

```
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = onText;
 loadText.load("TEXTPERSO.txt");

```

function onText () {  
// QuotesBox.html = true;  
QuotesBox.htmlText = this.myNews;  
}

and I added the following variable into my txt file:

myNews=blah blah

This works fine as long there is no special caracter such +, é, etc.  
Do you knwo a work around to fix this and display all the caracters includ in my txt file?

Regards,  
Phil
