Flash doesn't care about the encoding given in XML's header, it always treats the content as UTF-8 (even if it doesn't match the real code page). Browsers however take the header into consideration, so if UTF-8 is given there, then they treat the content as UTF-8, and if ISO-8859-1 is given, then as ISO-8859-1. So, if ISO-8859-1 works well in browsers, it means that your text is in ISO-8859-1, which is not suitable for Flash.
The encoding of the text doesn't depend on the header, it is just for informational purposes for parsers. If you change the header, the text's encoding remains and doesn't change - just parsers will interpret the same byte stream differently. So, you have to make sure to output UTF-8 encoded text with your ASP application.
