Mindy,
aint the best way but you can use
System.useCodepage=true;
paste it in the first line of the first frame of the movie you are loading
the external vars.
I tested it in mac and works fine. My doubts are that this line uses system
properties instead of embed properties which should be the best.
hope it works. If someone has any alternative i 'l be glad to hear it
jose.

that is loaded from an external plain-text file. I know to use URL encoding
for a character like the ampersand (%26) but that does not work for the
accents, such as ? and ?.

Everything works EXCEPT the accents. What can I do?
