Special characters Euro symbol €

Question

Hi,
I have a dynamic text box on stage. It loads text from a php
file, created in Macromedia. However, it will not load the Euro
symbol €. Ihave tried the special HTML character &#8364
in Macromedia but it does not convert it to the Euro Symbol. It
does not work either, if I put in the € symbol, but will work
for $ or £ symbols.
The php code i have is :
<? php>
$msg = "This is the Euro symbol &#8364";
print ("&hotelDatabaseinfo=$msg");
<?>
What should I do ?

Answer 1

I will check the TextFormat, if I can find a tutorial.
Now i have as code:
var loaderSoortjesNl:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("soortjes_nl.txt"));
loaderSoortjesNl.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandlerSoortjesNl);
function completeHandlerSoortjesNl(event:Event):void {
    var loadedText:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
    textSoortjesNl.htmlText = loadedText.data;
soortjes_nl.txt have the following inside.
<u>test</u>
test
€
<u>€</u>
at the moment it will output in:
test
test
▢
▢
instead of:
test
test
€
€
Because it's a menu with some prices in it, the euro symbol (i use ctrl+alt+5) is for me real important.
