problem with polish letters passing to database

["farmazone" <webforumsuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi.

 I have problem with polish letters like '?????????' passing from flex to CF 
script writing them to database . All I get is a string like "??????".

 My database charset is UTF-8 and collation of tables is also utf-8 
(utf8_general_ci ).everything is utf-8. Variables passed from flex and returned 
back from CF script are fine. 

 Previously  I used to work with php and amfphp and there were no problems with 
encoding and database. I'm not newbie to flash and flex. 

 I work on MacPro Intel. 

 strange issue..
