utf8 encoding question

[zantafio]

Hi,

I have a question concerning the way data/strings are encoded and transmitted within the Flash xml object:

the project that i'm working with is completely dynamic based on a xml-file.

the xml contains everything from x/y positions to html-encoded text for the textfields.

I would like to use the <![cdata[]]> tag with the html-text so nothing gets lost or confused within the xml. now how can i accomplish this without the <![cdata[]]> tag getting unicode encoded too ?

also i use the following php script to write the xml:

<?php
$post=$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA;
$fp = fopen("../xml/data.xml","w");
fwrite ($fp, $post);
fclose($fp);
echo($post);
?>


but the server where i have to upload this project does not support the $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA variable...

what option should i use to send the xml without this variable ?

tia
