It's a pain, but you have to put the URL codes for those letters into

the text file instead of the letters themselves (like %e4 for �) -- then

Flash should render them with no problem.  URL encode chart at

http://i-technica.com/whitestuff/urlencodechart.html if you need one. 

Also, Melanie posted a Word macro to do the conversion (I haven't tried

it) that's posted at http://i-technica.com/flashlist/index.asp?n=1092
