The way I got around this is I made a PNG of the character I wanted, imported it, named it and then set the imageSource of the first character of the line to my png like so:
set the imageSource of char 1 of line theHilitedLine of me to “bullet.png" Now I have a bulleting system that will work on all platforms (that recognize PNG anyway). This method has the added advantage of allowing you to use *ANYTHING* as a bullet or checkmark or whatever.
