Teo, I think you're running into the different character mapping on Windows and Mac. Characters with an ASCII value of 127 or less are the same on both machines. Above 127, Windows uses ANSI, and Mac uses its own mapping. Here's a property list I used to translate characters before I passed them into Flash from the Mac. It should get you started. The property is the Spanish character I wanted on Windows, and the value is the Mac equivalent. ["�": "�", "�": "�", "�": "�", "�": "�", "�": "�", "�": "�", "�": "�", "�": "�", "�": "�", "�": "�", "�": "�", "�": "�", "�": "�", "�": "/", "�": "'", "�": "�", "�": "�", "-": "�"] Cordially, Kerry Thompson [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
