Question

How do I embed Euro symbol €, into text box

Hi,
I have a dynamic text box on stage. It loads text from a php file, created in Dreamweaver. However, it will not load the Euro symbol €. I have tried using \u20AC, &euro and chr(128) in PHP file but they do 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>
$msg = "This is the Euro symbol \u20AC";
print ("&hotelDatabaseinfo=$msg");
<?>

Could I embed the symbol in Flash and how could I do this ?

Thanks,
Paul

Were you using "&euro" (incorrect) or "&euro;" (correct) when you tried that way?

Thanks for your reply. I have added the € symbol, to the text box and pressed the Autofill button, then the OK button but it does not work.
Also, I have added the € symbol, directly to the embed box and pressed the Autofill button and then OK button, but this does not work either.
Also I have put the "&euro" into the embed box too (as above). But this does not work either.
I can put the euro symbol, into the dynamic text box directly and that works fine but not if I import it, from PHP , which is what I want.

Try the HTML entity &euro; instead of the ascii charactor.

Check your Embed Characters.
if necessary Add the Characters in the Input Box Before the AutoFill Button.

You can find the Embed option from the Property panel(After selecting the dynamic Text)
