Thanks for your answer. I have just test to put an accent directly in the trace function like this : trace("é"); And there is the same encoding issue so it should not be a problem from the TextInput.
You said I can't rely on the trace function but this encoding problem also appears when I directly the "é" to a remote server using the POST method of an URLRequest. I'm completely stucked, do you have any idea how to investigate further ? 2013/8/28 Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> > trace() is a low-level Flash debugger feature.
