Hi,

Having problems getting the £ sign to show up with a dynamically loaded text file. Am using %25 for % sign - works fine. Tried using %A3, but doesn’t work.

Text file saved as Unicode UTF-8.

Flash script:

onClipEvent (load) {  
\_root.txt.holder.main.t6.main.htmlText = unescape(this.content);  
}

Any help would be appreciated…

Cheers.
