Twitter posting tweet in url

Question

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use a 'tweet this page' function in a flash piece using the url format 'http://www.twitter.com/home?status=go+to+this+page+http://www.example.com/#/page10'.

The flash project has deep-linked urls using SWFAddress. This requires the urls to have the pound character ( http://www.example.com/#/page10 ).

I can't seem to get this to work as Twitter misinterprets the pound sign (#) and redirects to another twitter account.

I've tried encoding the url but twitter doesn't decode it before putting the text into the status form.

As my last resort I could create urls without the pound sign and have them redirect to the SWFAddress urls but I am supposed to try and fix this problem from within the swf only.

Anyone ever have the same issue. Is there something I'm missing??

It's a known bug that will not going to be fixed.
