UTF-8 Problem

I am working with Flash 8 AS2.

I am loading vars from an asp file that retrieves data from a
DB.

I am URL encoding the data in order to send it back to the
swf file.

All data with german, french, portuguese etc, characters is
not displaying correctly.

However if I run the asp file alone everything is correct.

Can anyaone shed a little light on this

Thanks
