Getting different chars sent from same flash form if sent from IE and FF

I'm using FLASH form embedded into html which use utf8 charset to send variables and image to php script which saves them mysql.

In flash I do use fileupload method,

var loc:*=new flash.net.URLRequest("http://url.com/code.php?s=1&name=" + vardas.text + "&email=" + email.text); fileHandler.upload(loc);

The problem is that when I open and fill up form in INTERNET EXPLORER, i receive not UTF-8 variables in php, but if I use CHROME or FIREFOX, i get them right.

Is there a difference how IE and other browsers send data? Or do I have to somehow encode variables in action script?

Looking forward for ideas, thanks for reading.

EDIT: Possible problem - url in IE not supporting chars like č while CHROME AND FF DOES?

// fileHandler.upload(loc); // will not encode the data to utf-8



var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;

// add your event listeners
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler );
urlLoader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, secErrorHandler );
urlLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler );

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "http://url.com/code.php" );
requestVars.name = vardas.text;
requestVars.email = email.text;
request.data = requestVars
//request.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

try {
  urlLoader.load( request );
} catch (e:Error) {
  trace(e);
}



[EDIT]
Here is another example that should work based on your code but prefered method would be the first example. 

//You should always validate any input from the user that they can manually 
// enter on both client and server side. This will help prevent a plethora
// of things including data injection and many other hacking techniques.

var url:String = 'http://url.com/code.php?s=1'
    url += '&name='  + escape( vardas.text ); 
    url += '&email=' + escape( email.text );

var loc:*=new flash.net.URLRequest(url);

 fileHandler.upload(loc);

Do you have this header in your HTML page?

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
