FLASH: em dash on PC in Flash

[Pete Grant]

How in the world do you get an em dash while typing in a text box in Flash

on a PC? On a Mac, it's just Control-Shift-hyphen.


On a PC the standard way in some programs is to hold down the Alt key and

type 151 on the number pad. In Word 2000 PC, it's Ctl-Alt numpad hyphen (or

Insert -> Symbol -> choose the em dash), but when you paste that into Flash

it becomes a regular hyphen.


I could fire up my Mac and make a FLA file with a single em dash, store it

as a symbol, (then I can always get it by Import Library...!!! Geez.), but

is there a *simpler way*?
