Hi,
I don't know what data type are you transferring to your server side.In my last
application i had to use JSON and inside a XML with data about text (pages of
text!).
To not loose the content i add to create a child on the XML item for the
content with cdata like this:
private function addChildCDATA(text:String):XML {
return new XML("<![CDATA[" + text+ "]]\>"); }
This solved my problem.
In other project i used base64 encode on the front-end and decoding on back-end.
Try this both alternatives and i hope that helps with your problem.
Miguel.
