Hello Smilev,
sorry if i'm bothering you again
but now i have this issue:
even if i encode my xml file as UTF-8
when i want to display unusual characters (italians) such è or others
the browser substitures them with weird stuff as you can see at

www.spazio.org/limited/indexx.html
and the xml file is
www.spazio.org/limited/xml/home.xml
here i paste the actioscript
myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function(ok) {
if (ok) {
//process data
allGalleryData = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for (i=0; i<allGalleryData.length; i++) {
newPiece = sliderHolder_mc.slider_mc.attachMovie('template', 'piece'+i, i);
newPiece._y = i*newPiece._height;
newPiece.title_txt.htmlText = allGalleryData[i].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
newPiece.it_txt.htmlText = allGalleryData[i].firstChild.nextSibling.firstChild.nodeValue;
newPiece.en_txt.htmlText = allGalleryData[i].firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling.firstChild.nod eValue;
newPiece.load_btn.imageName = allGalleryData[i].firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling.nextSibling.fi rstChild;
newPiece.holder_mc.loadMovie('images/'+newPiece.load_btn.imageName);
newPiece.load_btn.onRelease=function(){
bigImage_mc.loadMovie('images/'+this.imageName)


}
//trace(allGalleryData[i].firstChild.firstChild);
newBut = _root.toglieresevuoiilnumero.home.attachMovie('num Template', 'num'+i, i);
newBut._y = (i*newBut._height)+sliderHolder_mc._y;
newBut._x = +300;
newBut.myNum = i;
newBut.num_txt.text = i+1;
newBut.onRelease = function() {
targy = 0-(this.myNum*122);
};
}
targy = 0;
sliderHolder_mc.slider_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y -= (this._y-targy)/5;
};
} else {
trace('what file?');
}
};
myXML.load('xml/home.xml');

could you help me? this is driving me mad

thank you!
a
