RE: FN-FORUM: Flash and content management systems

date posted 14th August 2003 18:17

I integrated a small Flash movie in the same four languages recently (a
rolling news feed kind of thing) using xml content generated from
Documentum (CMS). I remember the encoding that the xml file was saved
out at was important in order for special characters to be recognised -
unicode, I think. Also, Flash takes no notice of the xml encoding in the
document itself so you can ignore that.
