XML encoding issue....

[adamr1001]

i have a dynamic text box that gets its content from an XML file. i can not seem to get the textbox to properly display special characters. in this case, é.

i am using <?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;ISO-8859-1&quot; ?>

and have tried URL encoding methods, and I have tried changing the XML encoding ID, and I have tried adding my special charater to the embedded character list for the textbox - but no luck..

any thoughts out there?

useCodepage tells the Flash movie how to deal with incoming character data - the default is 'false' (the movie reads in data in 'unicode' format which is the best general solution) but setting it to 'true' means that Flash looks at the user's computer settings and adopts them - useful for non-standard character sets like cyrillic/central european etc.

Bill can indeed pull rabbits from hats and is available for weddings, barmitzvahs and children's parties...
