Yes, Director / Lingo does not understand Unicode strings,
but Flash does, so if you could get the Unicode string into
Flash that'd be great. For example if you have a Flash sprite:

string(n).pTextVarInFlash = myCursor.GetField("address", "utf8")

so V4MD would read the field "address" and return it in UTF8
format, which would then be stored in the flash variable.
