System object

Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX sends text in UTF-8 format. If you set System.useCodepage = true in your ActionScript code, your communication application might not work properly. A value of true causes the Flash Player to treat all text based on the end user's codepage, as in early versions of the Flash Player. The Flash Player, however, will still send UTF-8 encoded text to the Flash Communication server and all text received from the server will be UTF-8 encoded as well. Setting System.useCodepage = true in a Flash Communication Server application will likely result in unexpected behavior and is strongly discouraged. For example, text may not be sent and received from the server properly. For more information on System.useCodepage, see the article Unicode in Macromedia Flash MX on the Macromedia Flash Support Center.
