I think that if you URL encode it, the characters should be preserved, and Flash will display it as regular characters. The one thing to ensure is that Flash must have the font embedded with all the special characters you Just checking off 'embed entire font' or something like that won't work reliably; you may need to check off 'all upper, lower, special characters and these ones here' and enter the 'umlaute letters' in the available text field...
Hope that helps - feel free to email me off-list if you need more help with it.

Hi list, is there something like a Utf-8 encoding metatag?
(same functionality as utf8_encode in php)
This is needed to write data to a response, which a flash application reads.
(in this case data for emergency pharmacies which are open all day)
This is - during the moment done by php, but i would like to transfer this
to tango to integrate. I know i could do this by using a <@Get URL> against
a simple php, but i think thats not sportive ;-)
Also there is a flash based news ticker, which needs the encoding for german
umlaute (i konw - again and again the international characters).
Or a universal encoder for translational problems - would solve quite a few
problems....
<@ENCODE EXPR="STRING" SOURCE="MacRoman" TARGET="UTF-8">
Where source could also be ISO Latin,UTF8 and so on...
