Our department is working on a flash based widget that has to deploy in multiple countires, but the kicker is the client wants the user to be able to register though the object. When on a webpage in, say Japan, the POST data is coming back to us from a Shift-JIS encoded page, and trying to work into an asp page accepting unicode, and, of course, this doesnt work.

Is there a way to force the data in the loadVars.sendAndLoad function to send the data in unicode even if the system it’s running on is Shift-JIS? Or is there another solution for this.

Thanks for any help.
