This article is a document translated specifically for my partner to read; since it might help some folks, I’m also posting it for reference by anyone who needs it. If it doesn’t fit your situation though, I can’t take responsibility. Also, this article was exported directly from Word (page size A3), with way too much redundant code, and I can’t be bothered to clean it up; brothers with a display resolution width below 1280 may see misaligned styling when reading, so please bear with it.

I’m never one to back down from wrestling with the most bizarre problems—let’s see who comes out on top.

Recording it here, and also jotting down the general solution. If you also run into XML <-> FLASH garbled text, here’s a quick reference: 1. When you’re certain the XML is absolutely fine:First, FLASH reading XML and getting garbled text involves the static property System.useCodepage. Official description: “A Boolean value that tells Flash Player which code page to use to interpret external text files.” Defaults to false.
