Hoping to save you some time, I'm almost certain what you're trying to do is not possible. I already know from personal experience that it is not even possible in Flash MX.
If you just paste the code into an FLA, in Flash MX authoring, it will appear correct in the FLA and all the non-standard characters will disappear upon publishing the SWF. If you just paste the code into Flash MX 2004, it will be correct without any errors, in both authoring and the SWF. At least that was our experience. A few months ago we finished a group of German reading exercises, with approximately 160 screens of text, during which we went through all of this. My assumption is that Flash 5 cannot best Flash MX in this feature. The technote Faisal cited... http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/languages/unicode_in_flmx/ ...describes this in detail. In MX (it says 6 or later is required), you can get Unicode support the hard way by loading the data externally using the #include feature, or by doing some basic hard-coding through variables.
