ActionScript 1/2 :: Flash Doesn't Want To Read Cyrillic From XML?
Apr 4, 2010
I have everything done to load a text from an XML file in my flash movie, but it shows the text only if it is written in EN i want to type the text in the XML file in Cyrillic but flash doesnt want to read it... I tried to change the Embed Characters of my text field but it still doesn't want to read it. I have added this to my XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> and still the same thing.
I have to make menu that will be used by cms. The problem is that the dynamic created textfields does not dosplay the cyrillic font. Now the menu is something like this: [URL] This is the menu with all the classes and some comments. If you don't want to download it... [URL] this is the class for creating textfield. In the library I got font named bab_font . The font has cyrillic gyphs in it (use Tahoma for example)
[URL] this is the class for the buttons , it is commented (it was in late night, sorry for the bad english) Everything works in english, just doesn't display letters in cyrllic (example) First friend of my suggested to make text on the stage, containg cyrillic letters, but this doesn't work.
I'm using Agile Uploader in my project to resize image before upload on client side.And it works fine except one thing: if image name contains cyrillic letters it fails with server error 500.
How to avoid this or if needed how to rename file with english letters "on fly" (possibly with javascript).
I am trying to send a php variable with one field from mysql. When I print the php variable on my php page it outputs the field, but when I try to send it to flash it doesn't output anything.Here is my php script that tries to send a mysql field to flash and there nothing is shown. It works on my php page, it outputs the mysql field.
$product=$result['product']; $pro=$product; $pro = "&pro=".$pro."&"; //~ make it a flashable variable
This is because I use movie clips within other movie clips.
I wondered if anyone knew a workaround or trick that I could use to get text into google. I have a couple ideas but they're just ideas.
I would like to create an alternate page that is not flash, but a regular html page with all of the text I want google to read inside it. Somehow I use code to tell it that when a user clicks on the link, to redirect them to the flash webpage, but when a search engine sees it, to send the search engine/google to that regular html page, where it will gather all of the text and then that text will show up on google's page when you do a search and my site on google? Even if this was possible, would google frown upon this and ban me or something?
The other idea I have is to use invisible text at the bottom of my page. This will be regular html text that is the same color as my background. But I heard this can get you banned from search engines like google if you are using lots of keywords, but I wouldn't be using keywords. I'd be using the few sentences of content that their stupid crappy technology doesn't read, forcing me to bust my hump trying to find a workaround for. It sucks that google doesn't even use keywords in my metadata for rankings either. So I can't even use that with them.

I'm working on a mulitlingual site that has banners loading the text from an external xml file. The file I'm working on uses actionscript 2 and flash player 8. I'm using the font Avant Garde Gothic, which has all the glyphs needed.
I'm creating the text fields in the banners dynamically in as2, and then embed my font to a text format which is applied to the text field. This works great for Polish, Danish, Swedish etc. languages that just contain a few characters beyond the basic latin alphabet. But for Bulgarian, which uses the cyrillic alphabet, no text is displayed. This is my problem.
I've found that when I create my text field manually, using flash's gui, and embed the cyrillic glyphs manually it works fine, which shows that there's nothing wrong with my font. However, I can't use this method for my project. I've found that the only fonts that display cyrillic characters when being embedded through actionscript are fonts that are mainly cyrillic (but also contain a set of latin glyphs and some other basic stuff). It seems to me that flash only embeds a limited number of glyphs when calling the embedFont method and that the cyrillic glyphs are not prioritized here. Is this assumption correct?Is there anyway I can affect which gyphs are embedded using flash 8? I've read that Flex can be used for this but Flex requires flash player 9, doesn't it?
I want to read an Atom in Flex.I can see in the debugger that he can read the Atom and that there are entries, I can see each value. So far, so good.But when I want to assign a value from the atom to a variable, he never gives any text. It's always this: "".
But that's strange, because I can see in the debugger that it schould be "Tweakers.net".It becomes even more strange, because it works just fine with RSS.
I have a swf that reads a XML file. Here's the thing. If I have the fla open and I hit cntrl+enter to run it, everything works fine. But if I just open the swf, it doesn't read the xml. The swf is in the same directory as the xml file. I have tried everything. I even slammed my head on the wall on 3 different occasions.
In my emptyMC, i'm calling a newsticker, that needs an external .as class to works propertly. But when it opens, it doesn't read my _x and _y coordinates and neither the .as.
I have a TLFTextfield, which I've applied a TextFormat to, using a start and end index so it only applies to a range of text.Something similar to this:
var textfield:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField(); textfield.text = "Some Text"; textfield.textColor = 0x0000FF;
I've many unicode russian (cyrillic) fonts installed on my mac. When i type message like "T" type-tool - they show russian letters. When i embed it in Library like Font class, 50% of my fonts doesn't show russian letters.
I am creating a swf for use on a Russian website. I have search box that the customer enters there search term which I then concatenate to the URL string in the getURL method.
When i use western characters this work fine but when i use cyrillic characters it breaks.
I have quite a big issue with regards to bold / italic Verdana fonts in dynamic text boxes in flash with Russian characters.I've tried everything now that I can think of and read various posts but nothing is shouting out at me for what to do next.I have uploaded a tiny flash file for this one..http:[url].....Here's what I have done so far:
- I have embedded the character sets using the "embed" button.
- I have also added the fonts in my library
- I have also edited the linkage in the library to export for actionscript.
This worked perfectly, until translation came into play. Spanish, German, French characters, all work fine.Russian (Cyrillic) however will not work in bold or italic.If you change the Russian text for English it works fine on both.I have attached 2 files one called bold the other called normal.Both exactly the same however one has bold set as true in the actionscript.
I have a flash (flex actionscript project) that has to pass data to javascript in cyrrilic through externalinterface. However, data turns out at the javascript end in ????? instead of real cyrillic letters
Does anyone know what I need to do to get a flex text control to display cyrillic characters for example. [wvxvw? hebrew?] In addtion to the main .swf (.mxml) file there are font libraries loaded that are also in a seperate .swf The text control is subclassed from Flex.Text and in a seperated .AS file. Then to top it, the actual text in cyrillic is coming from an .xml file.I've tried "<?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8' " in the main .mxml file and the xml file. I believe I've put Byte Order Marks (BOM's) for utf-8 in the .AS file and maybe some of the other files. I've compiled everything with specifying the utf-8 encoding as well. I get nothing where the characters are supposed to be.
For educational purposes I want to create a text converter that would convert Japanese hiragana/katakana into Romaji and Cyrillic (for e.g.:ya>я), but I can't find any similar functioning application or script on the web to start working from...
So I want to read http streams using flash tcp sockets. I do not really need the http header at all - all I need is body which contains flv. so how to read http response body into byte array using flash sockets?
I made an AS3 animation with Flash. The SWF work perfectly playing directly in the Flash Player.If I read the SWF file in a browser, interactions like "onRollOver" or "onEnterFrame" doesn't work anymore.
A friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'
I write a simple xml code, and I try to read the xml file into flash, but I got "undefined" in my output.The codes are as following. Do you know how to sove the problem?[code]...
I have this XML that I need to read into flash. I want to display one of the temperatures in the xml. For instance, say I want to display the temperature for 'Sydney'... how would one go about doing that?
I have a problem with reading the IP address of a computer through Flash. I know the easy way - by using a php script, but this can't help me for this reason - I've created an embeddable flash component, which is a voting poll. The php files and the flash movie are stored on my server, and an embed code is offered to place the component on other sites. So, I'm using loadVars to call a php file from the server and read the IP of the computer that's voting. The problem is, I think, that the php files are stored on my server, and they read its IP.
Im having trouble getting flash to read mms.cfg file. This file only contains one line;
[Code]...
Where i believe it should be stored on a 64-Bit Machine. When ever we check the global settings on a flash video the setting still remains on "check for updates automatically).
