Hi,

This does not address your issue specifically, but your message was just 
the right plug.

I was having problems with non-English, unicode compliant characters a 
while ago, and thanks to the list I found some editors, among them, UniRed, 
that creates unicode compliant text files to use with Flash.

I finally made the whole project work, so if anyone wants to have a look at 
the alpha version, you can download it from
http://garnet.acns.fsu.edu/~rgp6722/com5339/Final%20assignment/jeopardy_with_textfiles.zip

(remember to re-attach the URL if it gets broken into 2 lines)

Make sure that you unzip both the .exe file AND the text files. You need 
them to fill out categories, questions, and answers.

This is a game modelled after Jeopardy, but in Spanish with Spanish 
content. The external text files can be edited to contain any set of 
categories/questions/answers. Only the "default" folder has content so far 
(the others are just for potential alternative sets).

Instructions? There's none  ;-)   If you can figure it out on your own, 
then it's good design
;-)  (but you can also send me questions if it's not intuitive enough).

The next version will have a help section, and other functionalities.

The username is anything (really, anything), and the password is 
"interactive" (which can be easily cracked, I know, but this is only an 
alpha version...)


Enjoy,


Roberto Perez
