The problem is that when I try to write portuguese text in input text fields inside a swf file that's playing with firefox and his flash plugin, the text isn't rendered properly. When I write accented characters (very common in portuguese language) inside flash text fields this chars appears wrong nominated. An example: the char á (represented in html by á) appears like ºa; The char @ appears like 2; ã (represented in html by ã) appears like ¿a. In a string like Olá (witch means hi or hello) it appears like Olºa. A string like céu (witch means sky) it is rendered like cºeu. I'm using a laptop keybord with portuguese keyboard layout. This problem occurs with flash 8 and 7 plugin. I have tested with many versions of firefox. The last one's had been: ->Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1 ->Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pt-PT; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7) and previous versions. In Internet Explorer it works smoothly.

IE and FF use different plugin technology (ActiveX in IE, standard Netscape-type in FF). So this is probably a Flash bug, which you won't see in IE.

Foxfire no longer accepts any input without ceasing to respond! Other browsers still work. I uninstalled and re-installed and it still only displays the first character of input, then locks up.(In reply to comment #0) > User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pt-PT; rv:1.7.12) > Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7 > Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pt-PT; rv:1.7.12) > Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7 > > I'm a webdeveloper and I have a problem with the firefox flash plugin.

We're experiencing the same problem here in Finland. When wmode is set to opaque or transparent, keyboard input-map (or charset) is kind of us-ascii with some scandic characters like ä and ö. So, when i press SHIFT and go throught numbers i should get 1: ! 2: " 3: # 4: ¤ 5: % 6: & 7: / 8: ( 9: ) 0: = But, when wmode is set to opaque or transparent, I get: 1: ! 2: @ 3: # 4: $ 5: % 6: ^ 7: & 8: * 9: ( 0: ) When I set wmode=window, everything works as it should. Also, I dont get this problem with IE. Also, I should get these chars by pressing ALT-GR and numbers 2: @ 3: £ 4: $ 5: € 7: { 8: [ 9: ] 0: } but I get only numbers from 0-9. You can set Finnish keyboard mapping from "Regional and language options" under control panel. Select languages -> details. Add Finnish / Finnish. I cant use wmode=window because popup windows get blocked by firefox if i'm using the latest flash, 9.0.115.0 and latest firefox 2.0.0.11.
