Actionscript problems with social share encoding
- by Rittmeyer
Hi,
I'm trying to make some "social share" buttons at my site, but the urls I generate just don't get decoded by this services.
One example, for twitter:
private function twitter(e:Event):void {
var message:String = "Message with special chars âõáà";
var url:String = "http://www.twitter.com/home?status=";
var link:URLRequest = new URLRequest( url + escape(message) );
}
But when twitter opens up, the message is:
Message with special chars
%E2%F5%E1%E0
Something similar is happening with Facebook and Orkut (but these two hide the special chars).
Someone know why is this happening?
