decode (LoadVars.decode method)

// Create a new LoadVars object
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
//Convert the variable string to properties
my_lv.decode("name=Mort&score=250000");
trace(my_lv.toString());
// Iterate over properties in my_lv
for (var prop in my_lv) {
    trace(prop+" -> "+my_lv[prop]);
}

The decode function doesn't decode characters like %F3 (ó) and %D1 (Ñ) etc properly (characters with code > %C0).

Here's a workaround:
Override the onData event of the LoadVars-class in a new class extending LoadVars.
Replace all encoded chars with code>%C0 in the source string by their normal ascii character
Then decode in the normal fashion with the decode method of the LoadVars-class.

Example:

class LoadVarsRF extends LoadVars {
private function onData(src:String):Void {
var chars:String = " !\"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~__________________________________¡¢£¤¥¦§¨©ª«¬­®¯°±²³´µ¶·¸¹º»¼½¾¿ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõö÷øùúûüýþÿ";
while(true) {
var i0:Number = src.indexOf("%");
if (i==-1) break;
var n:Number = parseInt("0x"+src.substr(i+1,2));
if (n>0xC0) src = src.substr(0,i)+chars.charAt(n-32)+src.substr(i+3);
}
this.decode(src);
}
}
