Hi all,  
can someone please help with that email form in.swf? The problem is I used the form on utf 8 based project and it was just fine but now that I need to use it in charset=iso-8859-1 based system, the php code doesn’t translate it and ships it in as utf, so I get strange characters for iso-8859-1 characters…  
Is there a way to translate utf 8 into iso-8859-1? or any other way to come across this pb?  
Thanks a bunch.  
starting going nuts here.
