I've had this problem with a couple of different files. Whenever I contiuously change variables that define Dynamic Text using ActionScript, the text begins to appear with square characters in front of it. Note: This doesn't happen on the computer that I made the Flash file on, just every other computer I've tried it on.

I am making some buttons in Flash cs3. The text (button-name) within the button and the url will be set outside of flash. I want the text in this square to be centered in the width (this i can do simply in Flash) and I want the text to be centered in the height too doesn't matter if the text is one line or two line text.

View 0 Repliesi'm loading a dynamic text, but some spanish characters like " and " (i hope you see the characters in "") do not appear. Por example, the word "drsticas" which has the special character over the "a" appears "dricas", that is, it skips the letter with the special character and the 2 following letters.Anyway, i've tried using the embed option for dynamic texts, but may be i'm using it wrong.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get into flash and one of my movies doesn't display all the characters I tell it to display in a dynamic text box. example:

I could use some help figuring out how to limit the number of characters I get on a simple math function. The line of code I am working with is below. it sends the result to a dynamic text box. How can I make it so no more than 4 characters show in the dynamic text box results?
I'm new to this community and to AS3.

However when I try to to use the appendText function, it gets ugly

SWF file does not display special characters in dynamic text let alone cyrillic font. I do have all kind of fonts in Flash and they work fine in static text.
I can write the text I want to display in xml file however upon saving it I etheir loose the special characters or they still dont display correctly in SWF. Enconding is UTF-8. Tried changing it but to no effect.
I'm pulling some urls from an external source into text fields and they are coming in all encoded [code]...
How can I replace those values with what it's suppose to be?
I know that I can send this html to a dynamic text box and it works correctly:
< a href="http://www.djlex.com" target="_blank">Click< /a>
But, why does it not work to replace the quotation marks with & quot; ? < a href=& quot;http://www.djlex.com& quot; target=& quot;_blank& quot;>Click< /a>
(BTW, the extra spaces are intentional so the html does not render as html in this post)
The following code does what I want (i.e. any key I press on the keyboard displays the character in uppercase format in the dynamic field on the stage) except that it does not properly restrict the characters to A-Z and 0-9. I can still press the <,.>?!/ keys and each of these chars shows up in the dynamic text field My dynamic text field is txt_BoxWhat is wrong with the following code?
var varKeyListener:Object = new Object();varKeyListener.onKeyDown = function(){ txt_Box.restrict = "A-Z 0-9"; txt_Box.text = String.fromCharCode(Key.getAscii()); txt_Box.text = txt_Box.text.toUpperCase();}

I used tutorial to dynamically load text from a txt file. I put the following code into frame 1:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = onText;
loadText.load("TEXTPERSO.txt");
function onText () {
// QuotesBox.html = true;
QuotesBox.htmlText = this.myNews;
}
And I added the following variable into my txt file:
myNews=... ...
This works fine as long there is no special character such +, etc. How to display all the caracters included in my txt file?
I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
Here's what I've tried.
Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly?
I have a Flash file which contains some dynamic text boxes. ActionScript is being used to fill these boxes using strings. However, I can't seem to get Chinese characters to appear properly. I've tried the actual unicode character as well as their unicode-escaped equivalent but when I export the movie, nothing shows up (blank - it was assumed that the characters are not even present).
View 3 RepliesI am trying to limit then number of characters in a dynamic text box, but its just not working. I am loading the text from an external xml file and thought that this might be the problem, but to be honest it shouldnt be really... I have put this code inside the movie clip:
ActionScript Code:
this.title_mc.alpha = 0;
this.q_mc.alpha = 0;
this.a_mc.alpha = 0;

A have a big chunk of dynamic text (from a db). From this text i am making a .pdf. So i would like to limit the amount of outputted text as a page can run out of space.
I have tried to do it with search and replace. But the problem is that it counts only characters instead of characters in combination with whitespace and the number of lines.
There is space for 100 characters/spaces on each line, and a total of 38 lines on one page.
So i am thinking of something like this: * count all new lines represented by
* count all characters/whitespaces dived to the number of lines to check if this fits the number of (as it uses wordwap)
Anyone with bright ideas on how to approach this?
(btw. TextField.maxChars will not work as it's dynamic text...)
Has anyone else ever had or heard of this situation? Its only happening around the edges of link tags,Code:Hello <a href="">world</a> my name is george.renders asHelloworldmy name is george.The link still works fine, Ive tried putting the spaces outside the link tags but it still happens.Im having to put double spaces in to get only one of them appearing its so wierd.I dont remember this happening when I was working in AS2 but cant isolate the problem at all.

View 3 RepliesI want to show special characters in flash
I have taken a dynamic text field with HTML property = true;
Some of the characters are working fine. But some of the special characters are not. For example the angle symbol "∠" is not working.
I found out the Decimal code for angle symbol (∠) and used it. It is working fine if I don't embed the font but when we embed the font (even with all the characters that flash support), it is not working.
I am using the following code
Code:
abc_txt.htmlText="∠abc"
I've got a dynamic text area pulling text from a MySQL database via AMFPHP.The text includes special characters such as accents,umlauts, etc (multi-language site platform). Most of them work fine, and ALL of them work fine when I'm on a Mac client. However, if I use a Windows client machine in either Firefox or IE6, there are a couple characters that for whatever reason just don't seem to show up-instead I get the [] box character.
The only characters I've found that seem to be affected like this are European quote characters like ' " and " (hex characters 146, 147, 148). I'm using the familiar ampersand-pound-number-semicolon escape sequence for them. And like I said, they all display fine on Mac/Firefox and Mac/Safari. Why are all my other special characters (umlauts, accents, etc) working fine and just these things failing? It's also worth noting that they look fine if I dump them out to a PHP file and pull it up in a browser...
I am trying to pull a link (or links) out of a text string. So if I had something like this:[code]I would like to be able to find the links in the text string and replace them with a single word or words that I would format to be an HTML link within a text box.I've had some luck with string.indexOf, but I'm not sure how to detect the end of the link where the remaining text begins that I don't want linked.

View 2 RepliesI have this game, and some levels have a moving square as the player, you move the square with your arrow keys.... I want to have an enemy square that chases the player square.... They only chased mario when you didn't look at them? Kinda like that...... but in this regards:
I only want the enemy square to chase the player square when the player square moves.... soo say the player square moves 5 pixels per movement (know how to do all that), I want the enemy square to move when the player square moves..... towards the player square at like 7 pixels per movement..... so eventually you won't be able to avoid the enemy square....

I have an object1 which is broken apart text on top of an object2 whose buttonMode is set to true. when i rollOver the object2 and my curser hits object1 and it sets the hand curser back to an arrow.

Now, loading this text by loadText i need it to begin with "n=". Is it possible to add for example "n=" in front of the text outside the text ediotr? I can get the data loaded without the "n=" mark by a code like this:
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
lv.onData = function(content) {
textarea.text = content;
textarea.html = true;
}
If I do so the html tags are not working.
