I deleted the original file, & created a new one using WinXP notepad, saving it as UTF-8. I then opened the file and added my name/value pairs using Hindi for the value's. Notepad displayed the Hindi characters as squares as well. Perhaps this is a Windows XP environment issue, rather then a Flex environment issue.
I should have noted earlier that when I created the file in Flex 3, the hindi characters display in the IDE when I edit the file, but not when the application displays the same text. --- In [email protected], "benjidudu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I never had success in editing properties files in Flex Builder.
