<p>I load some XML from a servlet from my Flex application like this:</p>

<pre><code>_loader = new URLLoader();
_loader.load(new URLRequest(_servletURL+"?do=load&amp;id="+_id));
</code></pre>

<p>As you can imagine <code>_servletURL</code> is something like <a href="http://foo.bar/path/to/servlet" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://foo.bar/path/to/servlet</a></p>

<p>In some cases, this URL contains accented characters (long story). I pass the <code>unescaped</code> string to <code>URLRequest</code>, but it seems that flash escapes it and calls the escaped URL, which is invalid. Ideas?</p>

I'm not sure if this will be any different, but this is a cleaner way of achieving the same URLRequest:
```
```
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(_servletURL)
request.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
var reqData:Object = new Object();

reqData.do = "load";
reqData.id = _id;
request.data = reqData;

_loader = new URLLoader(request);
```
```
