I'm working on a website in flash, I published the swf and uploaded it with the html to the server (http://www.ashoresrealty.com).
When I try to access it with Internet Explorer 6.0 on a machine a Windows XP with English alone it pop-ups a dialog box that says that the Hebrew language pack needs to be installed, but no Hebrew fonts are being used in the swf (even though I created the website on a Windows XP computer that is Hebrew enabled).
How do I eliminate the Hebrew language pack dialog box the appears?

thanks in advance...

Howdy and Welcome... :)

Your problem has nothing to do with Flash...
In the line 3 of your HTML file, you have this...
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-8" />
where 'iso-8859-8' means Hebrew(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859-8)
Simply change that to this and see if that fixes the problem...
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

Good to hear... ;)

Just out of curiosity, who/why put that 'iso-8859-8' in the beginning???
