umlaut encoding

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. export an excel file with umlauts (äöü)
2. open file in ms excel

suggested fix in ExcelFile.as:

187 public function saveToByteArray(charSet:String = "utf-8"):ByteArray {

257 cell.data.writeMultiByte(value, charSet);

This will allow diffrent string encodings. see supported encoding
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/charset-codes
.html.

In my case I use "iso-8859-1". UTF-8 also allows umlauts but ms excel does not 
display them right unless there iso encoded.

This might even works with chinese, russian and hebrew etc.

Setting charSet to "x-ansi" would show umlauts fine in excel.
Any ideas for which character-set should work to display Russian, please?

Thanks a lot.
It works for me with x-cp1250 charset.
