I don't think you can use the encoding for Russian. I didn't see Russian characters as part of the encoding list. Your best bet is to either embed characters, and then parse the input from the file, replacing special characters with the embedded characters, or else you can try switching to Director for your project, which will handle double-byte languages, and embed fonts, etc. Does anyone know if Flash 5 will allow you to embed fonts? From what I understand, you still can't do that, but I'm not positive...
