[FLEX-28575] Sub applications which load swfs of their own cannot have paths from the top level app that require encoding.

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved

• Component/s: mx: SWFLoader
• Environment: Affected OS(s): Mac; Affected OS(s): Mac OS 10.6; Language Found: English

Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a AIR project which loads a sub application with the following code: swfLoader.load("my folder/SubApplication.swf"); (Note the space in the path.)
2. From the sub application load another sub application swf

Actual Results:

Only the first level sub application is loaded.

Expected Results:

The sub application and the sub sub application would be loaded

Workaround (if any):

Don't include a space in the path to the sub application.

Source:
The issue appears to be a result of line 131 in mx.utils.LoaderUtil:

if (isMac())
return encodeURI(url);

As a result, the same problem does not occur on Windows.
