I am trying to build website that using a SWF file which I doesn't have assess to the code.Everything works fine but the problem is the encoding.

This flash file does a HTTP request ,getting a string and print it. That string is a Hebrew word.The problem is that it showing it in Latin language (ISO-8859-1), and the real encoding is windows-1255.

What is the default encoding for flash player in browser? how can I change it? (META tag didn't help). I discover that there is difference between browsers.

Thanks!

Flash Player isn't in the browser. It's on the user end. And as you can see from the embed code:

There is no encoding for the Flash Object. It would be dependent on the encoding for the webpage which could be UTF-8, or ISO-8859 or, like some older pages, have NO encoding specified at all.

First of all, thanks for the replying.

You said that the encoding is dependence on the encoding for the webpage. Like I said I have access to the source code of the html. Meta tag declaring the webpage charset encoding doesn't change the encoding .

The only property I found that is Influencing is windows utf-8 fallback on language and religion(on windows).

On Google Chrome Brower there is a property under settings>web content >customize >default encoding .This encoding is changing the swf file charset encoding and show it excellent.

So, why can't I declare it from the html/webpage encoding?

i don't want the user change the whole system just for me ...
