For example, italian characters like “ààè” are not displayed properly. Giving the value directly to the String is ok, but loading from external file is not good.
If anyone have a solution to it, it would be very appreciate.

Because it requires compilation whenever external textfile changes.

But this is a good way to manage source and keep mxml clean. I don’t know much about Flex compiler, but doing this a lot might increase compile time; compiler has to locate, load and compile the content.

The nice thing is that you can ‘bind’ the a value to a TextField’s var attribute.
