I’ve got problem when reading text from XML file with some characters. The font I use in flash is Times New Roman (dynamic text). Should I need to embed this special characters?

</div>

what I used is:

```auto

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<translations>
 <item id="1">
  <eng>Football</eng>
  <ger>Fu& # 2 2 3 ; bal</ger> (no spaces)
  <dut>Voetbal</dut>
 </item>
</translations>

```

where & # 2 2 3 ; = ß

this works fine with me
