[FLEX-23470] SWFLoader OSToPlayerURI does not conform to spec

• Type: Bug

Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use url with one of the listed escape sequences in the decodeURI documentation as source value for mx:Image or mx:SWFLoader component

Actual Results:
SWFLoader OSToPlayerURI produces double encoded URL which makes flash player unable to load resource

Expected Results:
URLs with query parameters encoded to URL spec should work

Workaround (if any):
None known, as decodeURIComponent / encodeURIComponent usage doesn't work here it seems.

Another thing which was pretty incomprehensible to me is that this actually works on linux (not tested on windows), but does not work in any of the tested mac browsers (firefox, safari) or flash player versions (newest series 9, 10, 10.1 official beta).

Tested with sdk 4 beta 2 as well as svn revision 14753 of flex trunk sdk.
