Description

OS: Fedora 10

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new WindowedApplication
2. Add the following code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[

private function saveFile1 () : void

{ var fs : FileStream = new FileStream(); var f : File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("test1.dat"); var bytes : ByteArray = new ByteArray(); var str : String = "non english charachers áéíóúç"; bytes.writeMultiByte( str, "windows-1252" ); for ( var i : int = 0; i < 255; i++ ) bytes.writeUnsignedInt( i ); fs.open ( f, FileMode.WRITE ); fs.writeBytes( bytes ); fs.close(); }

private function saveFile2 () : void

{ var fs : FileStream = new FileStream(); var f : File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("test2.dat"); var bytes : ByteArray = new ByteArray(); var str : String = "non english charachers áéíóúç"; for ( var i : int = 0; i < 255; i++ ) bytes.writeUnsignedInt( i ); fs.open ( f, FileMode.WRITE ); fs.writeMultiByte( str, "utf-8" ); fs.writeBytes( bytes ); fs.close(); }

// This is the only way that works, but I can't write non printable characters
private function saveFile3 () : void

{ var fs : FileStream = new FileStream(); var f : File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("test3.dat"); var bytes : ByteArray = new ByteArray(); var str : String = "non english charachers áéíóúç"; for ( var i : int = 0; i < 255; i++ ) bytes.writeUnsignedInt( i ); fs.open ( f, FileMode.WRITE ); fs.writeMultiByte ( str, "utf-8" ); fs.close(); }

private function saveFile4 () : void

{ var fs : FileStream = new FileStream(); var f : File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("test4.dat"); var bytes : ByteArray = new ByteArray(); var str : String = "non english charachers áéíóúç"; for ( var i : int = 0; i < 255; i++ ) bytes.writeUnsignedInt( i ); fs.open ( f, FileMode.WRITE ); fs.writeMultiByte ( str, "utf-8" ); fs.close(); fs.open ( f, FileMode.APPEND ); fs.writeBytes( bytes ); fs.close(); }
