You must set the ASP-charset to utf-8 as well. Add this at the beginning of the ASP file:
Response.CodePage = 65001 /Johan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope somebody can help with this one... I'm working on a flash application, where the settings can be dynamically imported from xml files or an asp query that sends out xml. It works fine if it's an xml file saved as UTF-8, both english and with special characters (in this case, swedish), or an asp generated xml with no special characters (==english). But when the client is trying to send out asp xml in swedish, the special characters turn into boxes and some xml fields display as undefined, similar to what you get if you save the local xml file as simple text, rather than UTF-8. Also, strangely enough, when the query is tested in the browser, IE and FF seem to be having trouble with the asp xml if the encoding at the top of the page is utf-8, but display it fine with <?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?> My guess is that regardless of the encoding at the top of the page, when the asp xml reaches Flash, it's not UTF-8 but simple text. My question is - can anything be done about it?
