ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating English / French Language Switch
Aug 12, 2004
I was thinking about adding another language to the site i'm working on, and i was wondering what would be the best way to create a "Language Switch" (for ex. English to French and vice-versa)? I thought that create two XML file (one english, one french), with the same node's structure would be a good idea, and the make a side menu with something like that:
on (release) {
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("english.xml");
}
And in the 1st movie frame there would be the link to textfields and respective nodes.

I have this site I am working on and I need to use as2 to switch between French and English. Using the flash examples I was able to switch to french but when I try and go back to english but it doesnt populate the XML.
I installed the new Flash Builder.Does anybody know how to switch the language to english?Looks like the installer installs eclipse in the langauge of the os.in my case that was german.I know you can change the language for FlashBuilder in Windows by editing one of the dll's. How to get the same result on MacOs?
I have already a simple application in Flash which is in english. In this application i m getting variables through PHP file now this application 2nd part is going to change in Arabic Version so how can i change language from English to Arabic if it is possible so i am also sending some variables from my side to PHP in that scenario i have to send variable in Arabic
I am trying to build a flash file that has 4 tabs/buttons. Rolling over a tab, shows the featured content/image for that tab. The website this is for has 5 different language sites (subdirectories) so:
1 - the featured content/image needs to be translated and
2 - one of the language sites need a different tab#3 content piece.
I've tried setting this up several different ways. 1st way: dynamic text fields with the translated text in the AS code... It was getting very confusing between showing content with images, translated text... lots of code for what seams like it should be simple.
I thought an easier way might be to just have a tabs_mc and an images_mc. Within both of those movie clips would be labeled frames for each language. I'm using a 'site' variable to tell each movie clip which frame to go to. Everything works great for the intial English version, but when I get to the "Spanish" version which needs to have a different tab3 content/image, I get TypeError: Error # 1009:and everything works up to tab3... tab 3 and tab 4 do not work, no alpha change or image_mc change.
I think I have something messed up with the event listeners... maybe switching to a different frame within a movieclip, makes the event listeners not work? But no clue how to fix it.
I am aware of the built-in 'Strings' panel within the Flash IDE, however is this the best way to go about creating a multi-lingual AS3 site/application nowadays?Are there any recommended 3rd party APIs/frameworks available? Ideally I'd like to be able to change language on the fly and support as many character sets as possible, I will also be dealing with both static and dynamic text content.
How can I create a flash video using Java.. (Java and JavaScript have nothing to do with each other, in my world Java Script is a useless technology). Does Flash Professional have a Java API and if so how do I get the JavaDocs and an example to see the complexity of that API. Does the Adobe Media Encoder have a Java API that I can use.. if so, JavaDocs and an example?
Picture having two million directories, each directory has 30 photos and a sound clip. From this I want to produce two million flash movies each movie has 30 photos and the sound clip. Each movie has panning of the photos (Ken Burns, Civil War on PBS). What does Adobe have that I can call from within my Java code or Perl perhaps. I need to do this every two weeks, at least. Using a standard user interface is not going to work, even if I hired half of the planet.. I have been on the phone with Adobe for two days and have gotten nowhere.. surly Adobe has something which allows me to automate the creation of Flash movies. right?
i want to create product comparison site expecting good no of user hits (100 + concurrent users) i am from dot net background(LOB Application),i haven't done much research for good programming platform for such user oriented website with some user generated content , i have following options
1: c# asp.net Ajax 2: silver light 3: php 4: flex/flash 5: ruby,python,java 6: any other language
database Sql Server/My Sql/Oracle/ any other. i want to deploy it on cloud,i want good user experience, can compromise on seo,site need to be scalable for lots of contents added later.
I have been working on a game (Pokemon haha) since around the beginning of June. I just started experimenting with Classes today and I've run into some big problems (as expected). I have many SharedObjects in my game and I started the game when I barely understood any code. But I've worked on it a lot and learned so much. Right now, I'm trying to create Classes so that I can save time and be more efficient with my code. But... With my first major attempt, I failed.
This is what I want to do: Create a Class that will switch a bunch of SharedObjects in my game. I don't need the switching part (because that worked before when the code wasn't in a class), just the creating the class part that involves SharedObjects.
This is basically what I have: ActionScript Code: import flash.net.SharedObject; class GrassLife { so = SharedObject.getLocal("so_file"); function Life() { so.data.variable7 = so.data.variable2; so.data.variable2 = so.data.variable1; so.data.variable1 = so.data.variable7; //The variables switch at this part }}
I'm trying to display french accents character while calling a php file from mysql db. It doesn't show up the right character.loadVariablesNum("url to php file",0,"POST");I even added System.useCodepage = true;
I have searched high and low on this one and there are many different answers and suggestions.I am loading my text in via XML. I have made sure that it is UTF8 encoded.For any other dynamic text I would simply embed the characters I need.
So far I can change the colour and the size of the text in the combobox but just can't seem to figure out how to embed the french characters I need in there.I have created my own font and embedded the characters I need into a dynamic text field on the stage. The created font is named "appfont"
point me in the right direction with to alphabetize my combobox that includesAt the moment I am using Code:comboBox.sortItemsBy ("label", "ASC");This works as expected, except the words I have that start witend up at the bottom ofthe pile.Does this mean I have to put everything into a string?
I am flashCS3. then i am integrate with XML driven content. but here its french characters in XML. but it doesnt show properly in flash. how can i solve the these kind of prob...
im loading a text from a mysql-db with php. I use url encoding/decoding but still my flash shows a small "square" instead of "�" (for example) in the textfield (using arial). Embedding the font doesnt work either i think.
I'm trying to pass accented French characters into an email using the code below,strangely the ' character comes through Ok, but the comes through as does anyone know why?
body ="J%27ai d%E9couvert ce site et j%27ai pens%E9 qu%27il pourrait vous int%E9resser :"]; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:"+ testEmail + "?subject=" + testSubject + "&body="+ body);

I've been using Flash for a few years now and I've recently (5 months+) started using CS5 package.My query is how do I successfully embed accented latin characters into a "classic" dynamic text field in my compiled Flash movie that are called from an external text file. I've searched the various forums online and all the methods demonstrated have not worked.
What I've done so far is to to select my dynamic text field, click on "Embed" within the PROPERTIES area, choose the font and the weight, then add any of the foreign characters and/or glyphs to the "Also include these characters:" area then finish up and compile. When I run my SWF file, the glyphs and accented fonts are missing but all the other typical Latin characters show up.
I tried this same method in CS4 (because we have an old Mac in the office too), and almost the same thing happened except instead of completely missing out the glyphs and fonts, it showed a box (almost like an image placeholder) instead.
My operation system is Window XP in Chinese. I'm running flex sdk > asdoc in command line. Asdoc picks up the system default language. How can I force it to be run in English language environment?
Attached you find one folder inside there is some Kurdish text and an image how it looks like, this is written from right to left.Can anyone have some time to give me idea how can I load this text in a dynamic field using loadVar as the method I am trying for normal text is not worked for this type of text.
I ones surfed by a site where i could write text in one field, and then press a button which then converted the text (all special letters) to flash, in another field! you know: & = %26.
"loadMovieNum("swf.swf", 0); Im trying to use the following code: "loadMovieNum("swf.swf", 0); in AS 3.0? It seems to me that when comparing AS 2.0 and AS 3.0 its like comparing english to greek. Why such drastic changes across this language?
this is an array of objects that i want to alphabetize:
var streets:Array = new Array(); streets.push({name:"Édouard-Montpetit"}); streets.push({name:"Alexandre de Sève"}); streets.push({name:"Van Horne"}); streets.push({name:"Atwater"});
now i'll sort my array:
streets.sortOn("name", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE); //Sorted Alexandre de Sève Atwater Van Horne Édouard-Montpetit
the accent above the E in Édouard-Montpetit, and any other first letter with a non-english accent is sorted after Z.how i can sort this correctly? i do not have access to the named data.
I would like to find an actionscript library that can take strings like:
Two days 2h one month a week
and parse them into duration (returning the time in some unit). It seems like it's been done so many times before and I'd hate to implement such a thing myself. If not in actionscript then in python (I can run this on the server side I guess).
