Flash, JSON and special chars, how read òàùèéì on flash with JSON?

Question

Hello, I've a problem loading a JSON with flash class com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON
It works fine with everything except I haven't found a way to load special chars, so if i have

{
    "json_text":"Hello, goodbye! I work fine!"
}

but If i need a special char like àùòèéì it won't work, I've tryied with

{
    "json_text":"òàùèéì I return nothing in my TextField"
}

But flash won't load this chars on my TextField object, so I'ev also tryied:

{
    "json_text":"èà&eacute etc. ERROR ERROR!!"
}

But it return the error by the adobe class... How can avoid the problem?

Answer 1

Just a shot in the dark (I don't have access to Flash right now) but did you try setting the Content-Type header of the json page to: "application/json; charset=ISO-8859-1" ?

Answer 2

I believe special character must be escaped this way: \uffa6\u1234 (\u + hexadecimal representation of the char.)

Answer 3

Make sure the JSON you load is UTF-8 encoded.
