Haven’t posted in awhile. Been Keeping busy here at KickApps and took a 2 week vacation to South Korea. It was awesome :)
I was looking into interfacing with some Facebook APIs today via actionscript and was having some issues passing some nested querystring vars. Turned out using escape() wasn’t enough and encodeURIComponent() did the trick. I didn’t realize it was even available in actionscript until i did some googling. encodeURI() and encodeURIComponent() are available along with escape() as top level functions in AS3.
Here’s a useful link explaining the difference between them.
