Using special characters in flash
Use encoding to ensure that variables are passed correctly.The example below illustrates how special characters can be retained using URL encoding:
A text file containing the following variable value:
Cost=+85
Will read into Flash as ‘Cost= 85′, dropping the + character.
However, using URL encoding to replace the + character the original text:
Cost=%2b85
Will result in Flash displaying ‘Cost= +85′ correctly.
Use this URL Encoding table for special characters:
