Are you sure that the font supports é. If you are using unique font sets then they may not be in the font set. An easy way to test is to just create a static field in the flash file and cut and paste the text from the xml into the textfield and see if the character displays.
What font are you using? I do a lot of translation stuff and can send over an example file in French if you need. Try the above first though.

I am having trouble getting non-English characters to show up in Flash when they're read from an XML doc. For example, the French e with accent, as in resume (résumé). Here's what my xml doc looks like -- seems I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. By the way, I'm saving it as UTF-8. Can anyone give me an example of a non-English xml doc that gets displayed correctly in Flash using non-English characters? I need to create localized versions for French, Chinese (simple), Chinese (traditional), Korean, Japanese, and several other languages. ============== XML ================= <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" xml:lang="fr"?> <questions> <question> <qText><![CDATA[Quels sont les objectifs de cette formation ?]]></qText> <qAnswers> <qAns num="0"><![CDATA[a.
