How do I add Spanish accents

Question

I'm working on flash 8. I have a dynamic text box and I
embedded a font (Bitstream Vera Sans). Since my text is in Spanish
some vowels have accents which won't show up when I publish my SWF.
Instead I get some funny rectangles where a vowel with the
corresponding accent should be. Somebody can tell me what I should
do? THX!!!

Where does the dyn. text comes from ? If from TXT file than
you might need to
use URL encoding to display any special characters. For
example:
Tenga un día agradable y una Feliz Año Nuevo
Would be:
Tenga un d%EDa agradable y una Feliz A%F1o Nuevo
Where there í = %ED and the ñ = %F1
There are charts on line with entire URL encoding list and
there are tools
which can convert the string for you. Check:

If the text comes from XML, it will need to be
encoding="utf-8" and
don't forget to save it as UTF-8
Same apply to the text file itself, save it using utf-8
