About Unicode text encoding in Flash movies

The Macromedia Flash Player 6 supports Unicode text encoding for SWF movies in Macromedia Flash Player 6 format. This support greatly enhances your ability to use multilingual text in SWF movies that you create with Macromedia Flash MX, including multiple languages within a single text field. Any user with the Macromedia Flash Player 6 can view multilanguage text in a Macromedia Flash Player 6 movie, regardless of the language used by the operating system running the player.

You can include multilanguage text in your movie using external text files that are included or loaded into the movie, or by entering Unicode escape characters (four-digit hexadecimal codes) directly into text variables. For information on Unicode support in Macromedia Flash, see Creating Multilanguage Text.
