I'm loading .txt files into a text box in flash 5. I'm using url encoded text, It seems as if I can't use special characters like ™ and I really need to do this. I also need to have links in the text.
If anyone knows a way to do this it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks dstlb, that helps a lot.
the symbols work great.Is there an easier way to make an in the encoded text?

isn't there a button you can click in the properites window to make the text come in as html? i think you are limited to the type of coding you can have, only certain html tags can be used. this may just be in MX, can't remember if 5 had it or not.

What font are you using?
There's always the chance that your font doesn't support extended characters.

I'm just using arial, loaded in externally, I got the special characters to work but now I need to make an active link in the external text file...

Make sure you do font color and underline tags (/u) in your HTML if you want the links to stand out :)

regular A HREF tags should work. It does in MX
