loadVars.send() URL-encodes all properties before sending which means 
that £ ends up as %26pound%23

n.b. % values are incorrect - could not remember what they were in testing.

I have replaced the £ symbol for other chars and there is no extra  
value. Have to assume that either it is a flash bug or there is some 
kind of character set issue?

Any suggestions for work arounds?
