Hello again, You mean having a XML file saved (and encoded) as UTF-8 does not handle it ? Isn't UTF-8 intended for such ? (and what if you put the Arabic parts in CDATA tags) ? maybe this could help http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=9074 (the streamBabie comment) hth, Cedric @Cedric

Not a stupid question @Ian. It's not a matter of each individual character reversing the order. If it were I could convert the string to an array and reorder it ah la: var myCharity_L2R:String = myXML.ARB.CHARITY; var myCharity_R2L:String = myCharity_L2R.split().reverse().join(); The
