CuePointNames with foreign characters

Question

Updated an application to Director 11.5 and have some problems with danish characters in the cuepointNames.
The application have worked the last 5 years, but now it behaves really strange.
I've tried to set the codePage when Updating movie to several different  tables, but still the same problem.
I can't even change the name myself, 'cause there's a difference between whats in memory and what it shows in the variable.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong ?
Thanks in advance
cheers

Answer 1

But what's the system/logic in a word like "køber" ends up in "kk" ?
A little further analysis shows just how wrong Director/Lingo gets it. I amended your movie script to
on startMovie
  mem = member(1,2)
  mem.url = "@/udtale_fokus.swa"
  mem.preLoadBuffer()
  mem.soundChannel = 2
  play (mem)
  cp_names = duplicate(mem.cuePointNames)
  len = cp_names[1].length
  put cp_names, len
  repeat with c = 1 to len
    tChar = cp_names[1].char[c]
    put tChar, charToNum(tChar)
  end repeat
  jsCharCodes(cp_names[1])
end
and added a JavaScript syntax function to a new movie script:
function jsCharCodes(str) {
   var len = str.length;
   trace("length: " + len + " " + str);
   for(var i = 0; i < len; i++){
     trace(i + " " + str.charAt(i) + " " + str.charCodeAt(i));
and I get the following output in my message window:
-- ["kber"] 2
-- "k" 107
-- "ber" -1
// length: 4 kber
// 0 k 107
// 1 b 98
// 2 e 101
// 3 r 114
Note that the 3rd line above ( -- "ber" -1) displays in my message window as ( -- """ -1)
