Hello Darren,

Can you please supply a URL of the site that is not displaying correctly?

I just did a very quick test and navigated to http://www.avix.co.jp/ .
The middle section of this page is flash and Japanese displayed with no
issue. I'm not sure if this is the same "type" of site you are talking
about. Anyway, here is a screenshot of what I see when I go to the above
site: http://www.bawdo.com/flash9/flash9_jp.png
