Dynamic Flash Templates are able to load symbols with diacritical marks from the external file.
But some adjustments should be done.
When you're editing the external content HTML file you should save it in Unicode format. For
example, you're using default windows notepad editor: edit the text first, and then choose
"Save as" from the File menu. Change the encoding option to
"UTF-8" and click
"Save".

Then all dynamic text items should be updated. Find out the movie clip where all
content items are located. Select the dynamic text item by single clicking it. Press the
CTRL+F3 hotkey to open the Properties panel. Click the
"Characters…" button (for Macromedia Flash MX and MX 2004)
or
"Embed..." (For Macromedia Flash 8) at the right of the
Properties panel to change the characters set. Select an appropriate characters set (hold the
CTRL key for multiple selection. Repeat this procedure for
all dynamic text fields that will contain symbols with diacritical marks.
