The issue is specifically with text loaded in from XML. The textfields are set to embed all latin glyphs (1076 glyphs, Uppercase, Lowercase, Numerals, Punctuation, Latin I, Latin Extended A, Latin Extended B, and Latin Extended Add'l). All text is wrapped in CDATA tags. I've tried saving the xml file with 8 bit and UTF-8 encoding and neither works. XML header is <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> If I set the text of the textfield with Actionscript to a string with those characters in it, no problem, they all show up just fine. // This works txt.htmlText = "wofür benötigen"; However, when I display it from the XML, they show up as regular o and u characters. // Does not work <item><![CDATA[wofür benötigen]]></item> Any ideas?
