Flex and UTF-8
May 4th, 2009
Flex fires unexpected errors during compiling, if we use in german so called “Umlaute” in the code- or targeting UTF-8 encoding. Unfortunately the UTF-8 XML-tag at the head of any Flex code ducument is not enough to reach the “freedom of UTF-8″. The document itself has to be saved UTF-8 encoded. This could be done by using an editor like Notepad++ or any other program containing save options like “save as UTF-8″.
