Hi All

I'm hoping someone can help with what seems like a very simple question.

I have a flash file that is reading info from an asp file, which in turn is
reading xml data from a remote server at fifteen minute intervals. Flash
needs variables passed in url-encoded format. e.g. "number 1" would be
passed as "number%201&".

I have a script which does a simple conversion from plain text to
url-encoded format, but it doesn't get a "+" sign, because this is the
url-encoding alternative to "%20" for a space between two characters. Thus,
my file reads the plus sign as a space.

Can anyone think of a workaround?

Regards

Andy
