Special letters using loadVar

[RealTK]

Does anyone know how to get loadVar to read special characters
like ä and ö when using it to read from a textfile?? :sure:

why you shouldn't use System.useCodePage?

Hm... Interesting... Thanks for the info, h88... :)

How is this actually done?
I tried using the hex numbers inside the text files but flash displayed the numbers, not the character. :sigh:
Can anyone explain to me plain and simple on how I can get an ä and an ö character
to display on a text that has been loaded from a textfile inside a dynamic textbox?

If you want to have 'ä' in flash, then you should use: %E4 in your textfile:

&avariable=%E4 what ever

implies to:

&avariable=ä what ever
