Re: cfforms flash character encoding
Fixed now by using #CHR(163)# in the code, but I was getting strange characters instead of pound signs when generating flash with cfform, I was using Dreamweaver and it didn't make any difference what encoding was on the pages. I had something which I think is probably related where I couldn't get dates to display in euro format - it's beginning to look to me like flash cfforms have real problems with localisation.

#CHR(163)# did the trick, thanks for your help - it's so annoying when little things like this take up development time.

It's actually the server built into CF on my Linux box, I presume it's IIS on the shared host.

RE: cfforms flash character encoding
Using the Flash IDE, I tested and found that you can use the character entity on both Win and Lin... is that what you're doing now? Try replacing all occurances with '£' if you need a quick fix, otherwise I'd hunt for the problem...
