Spanish accents and special characters

[rtarkovski]

Hi! I have a little XML file that goes like this:

<xml>
<template websitename="C3" minwidth="800" minheight="600" /
<sound src="m1raw.mp3" volume="30" />

... etc

<menu gap="20">
<button text="Quiénes somos" type="html" src="aboutus.xml" />
<button text="España" src="awards.xml" />
... etc
</menu>
</xml>

Unfortunately the spanish characters in the button text like é, ñ, etc don't show properly. I've tried simple tricks like using <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-7" ?> and other encoding instead of <xml> as the header, typing & # 2 3 3 ; (no spaces) instead of é, etc. to try and correct this, but they either screw the whole page or don't work. Please help me out. Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot for your help.

Yes I just confirmed: everything needs to be written using utf-8.

Any help appreciated.

I don't understand, your problem is solved or not?

Not yet. I just confirmed that the XML file is supposed to be encoded in utf-8. Please help. Thanks a lot!

I guess you don't understand. What I ask is how your template is transformed in a web page.

Thanks much for all your help.
you are welcome, :)

There is a .FLA file with a bunch of elements and scripts. That's where most of the content is. The external XML files help you customize the page a bit. :)

in that case a better idea is to ask a moderator to move the thread in the flash forum( this fla is flash, isn't it? ), because I have no idea about this.
I will watch the thread even will be moved and in case I could help I will, but you have more many chance to get a solution there.
