Truncating last character in a string

1.Input text - losing last character

Nubie (and hopefully, easy) question - my input text fields all fail to capture 
the last character typed into the text field.  I'm currently asking users to 
hit the <ENTER> key before submitting their input (and this works because then 
ENTER becomes the final character), but there must be some simple fix that I'm 
missing.

 Here's a code example:

 Answer_a.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
 addChild(Answer_a);
 Answer_a.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, textInputCapture);

 function textInputCapture(event:TextEvent):void {
 	submit_answer = Answer_a.text;
 }

2.Deleting last char in string

Hey guys and girls,  I'm new to this actionscript thing and have used various 
other languages. All I want to do is find the last character in a string and 
delete it. Essentially what the backspace key does. But I can't work this out 
using the string class. Do I have to convert to an array?  thanks in advance 
for any help offered people. TUUK

I am passing a string to a sql server database from within flash as a query, I 
have mostly successfully queried the database, but have had problems with

4.I can't POST a variable (string) which contains greek characters correctly

I have a problem posting string variables from a flash movie to an ASP file.
When the ASP file recieves the posted variable, the text looks ok only when I
am posting english characters.
I can't POST a string variable with greek characters to an ASP or CFM file.
For example...

At Flash movie (ActionScript)...

var topostit = "<greek characters>";
getURL("receiver.asp","_blank","POST");

At ASP file (JavaScript)...

var topostit=Request.Form('topostit')();
Response.Write(topostit); 

When topostit="English" then ASP file gives "English"
When topostit="<greek characters>" then ASP file gives "#^%$^$$$#"

Please tell me if you know the answer to this problem.
