FLASH: <FLASH> problems rendering special characters

[cjaeger]

Hello List,


Here's the Problem:


I have an MC named 'text_animation', within which resides an MC named

'text_mc' in turn containing an MC called 'letter' which contains a single

text field.

The top MC takes a variable /:text which contains some string. It plucks all

the letters out of this text. It then duplicates the text_mc a number of

times according to how many letters are contained in the string in the

/:text variable. It then puts the respective letters into their duplicated

mc's. Everything works fine except... I have a German client and there are

those funny Umlaut thongs everywhere and FLASH 4.0a (Flash 5 player) doesn't

want to render them.

Any one know a work around or encountered similar problems?


I really need help on this, otherwise I have to animate all the text by

hand. Yuck, I wanted to go climbing next weekend.
