Hello Shaun, what happen when your user post special text? You flex comp show error imediately on only save wrong in database?
If your comps showing error when user typing problem is wmode of your html wrapper, in firefox flashplayer had a bug... If is in database and you using amfphp, you can change the charset to utf8 in gateway.php, if this not work (amfphp 1.9 had bug in this place), you can use utf8_decode() In my case i made this class, where only method receive object and return object utfdecoded: <? /********************************************************************************* Operações involvendo Charset e Unicode desenvolvido por Daniel Lopes www.areacriacoes.com.br *********************************************************************************/ class UnicodeOperations { // Método para decodificação unicode em um OBJECT public static function objectUtf8Decode($obj) { $keys = array_keys($obj); for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($obj);$i++){ $obj[$keys[$i]] = utf8_decode($obj[$keys[$i]]); } unset($i); return $obj; } } ?> Example using the class in php: if ($e['utf8_decode']) $e = UnicodeOperations::objectUtf8Decode($e); --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Shaun" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm still trying to find the best way to allow my users to enter > foreign language characters - like á, ñ, etc. - into my flex text > controls. > > Has anyone had experience with this, or found a solution that makes it > somewhat easy on the end user?
