load Unicode XML , send as Latin1

[Anon]

hi there,

I'm a flash developer, and I've ran into a major problem (well, for me in anycase).

I need to load xml into flash, which normally isn't a problem. This time however, the XML files are in Unicode, and flash doesn't accept them (only Latin1).

so, with my limited PHP skills, I've tried to read an XML in my local host, then simply send it along to flash in it's "raw" form (as a string of xml...).

anybody??? ideas???

any code / snippets / link whatever would be helpful...

thanks already
