Hi.

I am using fusion charts and passing a data\_url. The data\_url param  
pairs  
are linked with the normal & character. However, the flash object url  
encodes the data\_url before calling it, so my rails app is hit with  
/controller/action?key=value%amp;key2=value2

Rails seems to through the params out the window when confronted by the  
%amp; enstead of &.

How would you go about extracting params when they are seperated by  
url\_encoded params, instead fo the usual & seperator.

Regards
