Just use this line of code in the begining of your movie.

System.UseCodePage = true;

I had the same problems and this solved everything. I then just copied and pasted my spanish from word into my XML file and everything was great.

Thanks,

That didit worked for me but i got it solved.
i put this line at the begining of my xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16BE"?>

the mystery line is:

< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16BE"?>

without the space at the front.

Thanks

GreatGatsby,

You are the man, that worked perfectly. We are incorporating Spanish into some of our new training pieces.

Thanks again,

I cant seem to get it to work for me either. My problem seems to be the characters ? and = .

here is an snippet of my xml as it is returned to the browser:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16BE"?><XMLmenu><heading  id="Book Stores"><submenu id="Amazon" link="index.php?option=com_frontpage"></submenu>

Becuase of the format of my links, it is apparently causing problem to display in flash.

it works perfect when my links are in this format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<XMLmenu>
                <heading  id="Book Stores">
                        <submenu id="amazon" link="http://www.amazon.com"></submenu>

It semms to me that it msut be the encoding, but maybe one of you experts has another idea....i hope. see attached .Fla and php
