[haXe] Re: Impossible to send backslash followed by "r" string to Neko from Flash - it gets converted to linebreak character \r

[Asger Ottar Alstrup]

To reproduce this bug, change Flash.hx in example 3 in swhx to this:

class Flash {

    static function main() {
        // connect to the desktop
        var cnx = swhx.Connection.desktopConnect();
        // save a string to the file "hello.txt"
        cnx.App.saveFileContent.call(["hello.txt", "\\rtf1\n"]);
        trace("The hello.txt file has been created !");
    }
}

Open the hello.txt file, and you will see that the expected \rtf has become
a linefeed.

If you change the string to just "\\rtf1" without the \n, it works!

(This bug exists also with SWHX 1.02)

Asger
