character problem on reload page?

Hi

I am getting values from a cookie and into flash like this ...

Code:

---

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="signup.swf?RetailerID=<%=(Request.Cookies("CookieStorage").Item("RetailerID"))%>&RetailerAddress1=<%=Server.URLEncode(Request.Cookies("CookieStorage").Item("RetailerAddress"))%>

---

(the same goes for the <EMBED> tag.)

This almost works great :(

If characters like 'Ö', 'Ä' are in the cookie then the page will display a small box like it doesn't understand the formatting.

But when i reload the page there is no problem.

Does anybody have a clue on what's going on?

regards
Poden
