AS3 doesnt read special characters from an XML

[kolosoff]

Hi,

I have recently run into a problem when loading an external xml file into actionscript 3. Flash does not want to read special characters for some reason! My XML doc is "uni-8" and i've tried using regular ó letter, ó and ó to describe the character but no luck so far. Please help me out if you know the solution, cause i've been struggling with this for a long time. Thank you so much in advance!
