Flash assistance, Garbled Text????

[BWWebDesigns]

I have a flash script with working swf file, it pulls info from a dynamically created xml file and uses that info to select various elements within the flash such as background image, a text box here and there etc etc

However when i went back to the sourch fla file and published a new swf and uploaded (After making no modifications at all) All the text on the flash now shows up garbled, missing letters or just complete gibberish, unreadable etc

Can anyone assist with an answer as to what may have gone wrong

The example can be seen here

The xml file being called is http://www.originalfundraisingwidget.com/demometer/pdm/xml/thermometer-xml.php?dmid=21

As you can see the text within the xml file looks fine but the resulting flash text is messed up considerably

I have no idea why???

Thanks in advance

Hi

I'm wondering why re-publish a file without making any modifications?

Otherwise, you could check that the font is correctly embedded (either in the library or Actionscript - depending on how it is created.

Also, would be worth checking for Byte Order Marks in the XML.

the script I created had several versions but I had hard drive crashes and lost several files some of which were the original fla files, I found a couple but they were not the latest versions and for some reason when i compiled the swf from them it had these errors mentioned above.

I will try the font embedding suggestion, not sure what you meant about the xml stuff, but I used the xml file on another swf that does work from an older version I had stored online and everythings fine but I need to figure out why I cant get it to work from a fresh compile from my fla file, so that I can make modifications and change some stuff.

Just tried embedding the font and it seems to work now

Thanks so much, its always something simple that gets overlooked lol
