Hi=2C=20
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 (p=
ages of text!).
To not loose the content i add to create a child on the XML item for the co=
ntent with cdata like this:
private function addChildCDATA(text:String):XML		{			return new XML("<![CDA=
TA[" + text+ "]]\>")=3B                		}
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.
