Hello,
I develop a flashcom application in greek language. Since flashcom sends
all data in unicode I converted a script file with greek strings in
utf-8, as suggested in the documentation. Strings are displayed
perfectly with trace() in both client and server, however the
String.length property gives an incorrect value.
I attach a minimal utf-8 encoded main.asc script to demonstrate the
problem. It creates a string "A" (the 'A' in greek language) and traces
the string and its length. The string is printed perfectly but length
gives 2 instead of 1. This is problably due to the fact that 'A' is a
double-byte chatacter, using a latin "a" it gives 1! Escaped characters
("\uXXXX") also work fine. Finally, #include-ing the same file in a .fla
file also gives correct results!
Has anyone ever encountered this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Is
there a workaround? Thanks a lot in advance.
