[flexcoders] compc and Unicode properties files

[Tobias Patton]

The documentation (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/documentation/en/flex/2/flex2_appdev.pdf) for localization states that property files can be encoded as Latin-1 or Unicode (\udddd). However, when I try to compile a UTF-16 property file, I get the error:   [compc] DSHB_Strings_properties(14): col: 23 Error: End of input reached before closing quote for string literal [compc] [compc]             __propObj["■  [compc]                       ^ [compc] [compc] DSHB_Strings_properties(17): col: 2 Error: Expecting rightbrace before end of program [compc] [compc] package   I thought perhaps the BOM was getting in the way, so I removed it in a hex editor, but this made no difference. It looks as though the compiler is choking on the double-byte characters.   If I encode the properties file as UTF-8, I get a runtime error stating that the resource could not be found. I think this is due to the BOM. If I put the string on the second line of the file, I don’t get the runtime error, but the string is corrupted (Japanese characters rendering as garbage Latin-1 characters.)   Any ideas? Thanks.
