You'll probably need a "special" HTML character. There is a list here (http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/reference/special_characters/) ...otherwise it might depend on the typeface you have chosen.

Cheers,

But flash only supports the HTML v1.0, are these special caracters also aupported Rup?

is where you can find standard characters translated in html for Flash. The standard HTML does not always work in Flash. The &#... is not accepted and is replaced with something like %AB

The bullet point in HTML equals •, but I can not find an alternative for Flash... help!

I think u just can't do it with regular text, u may use it with a special font and use the embed font out line to force flash to show it as it is
