I have a path to a move file which plays well, until I insert a "ƒ"

I'm already using the "file:" trick to set the file path -- here's
the code:
put "file://"&pMovieFile into tPath
replace space with "%20" in tPath
set the fileName of player "QT" to tPath
What else can I do to account for such anomalies in the path?
Would a urlEncode on the path make any difference? I see you're
specifically replacing spaces with "%20", but maybe running it
through urlEncode would fix this other character. Just a guess.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd tried that. The urlEncode function
turns spaces into "+", and apparently QT prefers "%20".
The "ƒ" character in the path doesn't work even when passed through
urlEncode, even accounting for the "+". The same method without the "ƒ"
works.
Phil suggested using SMIL; unfortunately that's no an option for this
app, I need to be able to play the files directly.
QT Player has no trouble opening the file regardless of what the path
look like -- why does Rev?
