component / UTF-8 problem

Jeg har fundet en component - et tekstbanner der importerer en extern txtfil og denne banner-component virker præcist som jeg har brug for ....

MEN .....
jeg har dog brug for at teksten unicodes for at æ,ø og å også skal kunne ses på en mac, men det "vil" banneret ikke "oversætte" - se eksempel her :  http://www.westend.dk/testen/bazooka/Headlab_Newsflasher_V1_1_2_TEST_2.swf

Ifølge "Klark kent" (www.klarkkent.de) som har lavet componenten skulle der ikke være nogle problemer med UTF-8 tekst, men det er der desværre :-(

NewsFlasher componenten kan hentes her:
http://www.flashcomponents.net/component.cfm?nav=2&id=81

Kan nogen hjælpe ??

På forhånd tak ;-)

Herunder er componentens koden - som er MEGET lang:
