Hi Dirk, mmm, this works for me. I think I need a bit more information. Only those particular characters you mentioned not working and others are OK? Also, which platform, browser, Flash player version are you running?
Thank you! -Yukari -----Original Message----- From: Dirk Eismann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 4:06 AM To: FLEXCODERS (E-Mail) Subject: [flexcoders] Problem with Umlauts in external AS files I have a problem when defining Strings in external AS files that contain German umlauts (�,�,�). Although the AS file is saved as UTF-8 the text does not show up correctly in the Flex application. Umlauts that reside in the MXML file are displayed correctly: // testFile.as function getTestString(Void):String { return "�� �� ��"; } // end testFile.as <!-- test.mxml --> <?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; > <mx:Script source="testFile.as" /> <mx:Label text="AS Umlauts: {getTestString()}" /> <mx:Label text="MXML Umlauts: �� �� ��" /> </mx:Application> <!-- end test.mxml --> I first stumbled across this as I tried to set the monthNames property of the DateField programmatically. In Germany the month "march" is written "M�rz" - the DateField chooses to display "März" instead. Any ideas? Dirk. Yahoo! Groups Links
