  I found the answer for you. Good news: no need for PHP magic! Here's how to do it:

  var ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
  ldr.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
  ldr.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);
  ldr.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, errorHandler);
  ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function (event:Event):void {
      var bytes:ByteArray = ByteArray(ldr.data); 
      var text:String = bytes.readMultiByte(bytes.length, "iso-8859-1");
      ...
  });
  ldr.load(new URLRequest('http://server.dom/path/to/your-file'));
  

  You need to substitute "iso-8859-1" with the appropriate encoding. You can find the list of valid encodings here.

  Tom : sample code would be great (actionscript side only)
