Why would only some characters be displayed in a Flash textbox?

I am wrting a program in C# that uses Flash to display a text box on a form. When I send a message to the form only some of the characters are displayed. The swf file that I'm using is from an Internet artice that explains how to send and receive data from Flash, it included source code.

Here is the funny thing. If I use the original swf file that I loaded down it works. If I take that ela file and I rename and publish it with NO changes at all, it will only display some characters. There are no embedded fonts.

All I'm changing in the C# program is the name of the swf file.

Help!!!!

Thanks, Gary

After looking in some of the Flash fourums I found this solution http://ps3sg.blogspot.com/2011/03/adobe-flash-cs5-as2-problem-some.html. Although this seems to work, this must be a bug in Flash CS5.5

  1. Click on the textbox.
  2. Click on the "Embed..." button in the Character section of the Properties
  3. In the Embedded Font window I selected All in the Character Ranges.
  4. Click Ok.

After republishing the ela I was able to see the whole alphabet.
