I am passing variables in a url string from an asp page to my .swf file and reading the variables into text boxes within flash.

eg.
http://www.mywebpage/pageFlash.asp?firstNameVar=François

As you can see, the variable I am using contains a special french character.

Now here is the problem. On some computers the variable is passed to flash with no problem at all and on other computers the same flash file is unable to read the variable. I have tried url encoding the variable to read %E7 and also have placed System.useCodePage=true; on my first line of actionscript, but neither works.

Does anyone know why the special character works on some computers and not on others? All the computers have IE 6 and are running Windows 2000.

Nope, it doesn't work.

I can't figure it out!!! On some computers the Flash can read the french characters with no problem and on other computers the Flash can't read them at all.

I am beginning to think that maybe it is a browser setting or something.

Anyone else have any ideas?
