html character problem..

[Lynx75]

hello everyones!

ok,Ive got this text field where dinamically I load an external .htm text.
In this text Ive got simple <b>,<font> etc etc..
My problem is: ive got some character as "ˆ","�","“" etc etc..and when I load this text into flash I see instead just strange characters but not those ones.
My boss ask me to fix,because is a text inserted with an php interface from users.
I cant teach to use the html code for rapresent those special characters.They have to type in as they are and display correctly..

how do I jump over this prb?

tnx

Howdy...

What about encoding the string from the PHP and send it to Flash, when the data is in Flash, you can unencode it to see if that works???

Check out the 'useCodePage' to see if that will help you too...

u mean to convert all the character (� ˜ “ etc) from php into the right tag when I save it into the db..mm could do the job..
Ill try tomorrow...

and what about this 'useCodePage'??
where can I find it?

You could put this code into the frame 1 of your Flash movie...
System.useCodepage = true;
Some people says not to use that and some says don't mind it, so, I'll leave it up to you... Do some searching on the forum with that term, andn you will find some interesting threads...

Let us know how it worked tomorrow... ;)

ok,but why when I export my movie as flash5 all goes fine?
I dont see strange character?
what's the main difference?

Um... Don't know much about that 'why' part... I guess FMX supports unicode and F5 doesn't??? Don't really know... :(
