This is a good one--a bug in Director? This is D8.5, Mac, with an embedded swf (Flash 5, published as Flash 4). Apparently, the Director-Flash interface is corrupting a list in Director. Here's the code: pActivityTextList = value(field "Activity Text") --contains text in a property list form languageList = pActivityTextList[gLanguage] -- sublist containing Spanish NPedition = languageList.headerInfo.newspaperName setVariable(pStageSWF, "fvNPedition", NPedition) Here's the problem. Before I call setVariable, the headerinfo sublist contains this: #headerInfo: [#edition: "Volumen 1, Número 1", #date: "15 de mayo, 1823", #newspaperName: "Crónicas Manzaneras"] After I call setVariable, it contains this: #headerInfo: [#edition: "Volumen 1, Número 1", #date: "15 de mayo, 1823", #newspaperName: "CrÛnicas Manzaneras"] Notice that Crónicas changes to CrÛnicas. If that doesn't come through e-mail, it's changing the accented "o" (with the ´ accent) to a "U" with the "^" accent. And it's doing it *in Director*!! It's changing the value of the Director list--it's displaying the correct Spanish characters in the Flash movie, though. When I do the same thing on Windows, it maps the wrong character in Flash, but doesn't corrupt the Director list. We've tried publishing the Flash movie as Flash 5--no change. Any ideas?
