View 8 RepliesI 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"

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.

View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic text field in Flash CS4 which gets its value via XML from a back-end MySQL database. The issue is that I want to make the text field to display HTML text
my_txt.htmlText= <a href="http://www.pantene.com>"PANTENE COMPANY</a>
However, there is a problem in Flash both AS2 & AS3 and both CS3 & CS4 in the sense that when there are special characters ie: double quotation marks ", the XML loader does not read (retrieve) any data from the database.
How can I suppress these special characters ? How can I find a workaround ?
I have taken over an old project of a registration page after a short quiz and for some reason it is not possible to enter special characters in the text input field. example: @ but it is also not possible to enter a y or a capital W and some others. I have not found any thread or google infos on this problem and am short of reprogramming the whole thing in as3 which is very tedious because the whole site is still running as2 and we do not have time nor money to update.
View 2 RepliesI bought a flash site template that loads xml driven swfs inside the main swf as different menu items are clicked. The modules that come with the template work fine, but I don't know how to add a third party xml driven swf, so that it shows up properly. While the third party swf works fine as a standalone, the embedded version loads just an empty movie.
View 4 RepliesWhen my focus is inside the input text field, pressing CTRL+ENTER works but ENTER does not.Pressing Enter when my focus is anywhere BUT the input text field works just fine..My intention is to detect if ENTER key was pressed after the user fills out the field, but it seems to only work for CTRL+ENTER
ActionScript 3:
// works:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, enterHandler);
// ignored:
email.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, enterHandler);

ENTER results in charCode == 0, whereas CTRL+ENTER is charCode == 13 email was created using the Text tool and set to "Editable"

how to fix the French accents when loading txt from a txt file in Flash? (The text imports properly but it loses the accent characters)
View 10 RepliesI'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.

I'm creating a Flash instant messaging application (through XMPP protocol) and run into a problem. It isn't that important but I was quite upset that I wasn't able to solve it and I want to know if their is a solution =D
I have a TextArea chat input and a button to send the text, the TextArea is multiline and so captures the Enter key to jump one line... What I need is to send the message with the Enter key and jump with a Ctrl+Enter combination... My ideas were to disable the bubbling of the Enter key, trap it, and then manually assign the Ctrl+Enter combination to jumping the line in TextArea but couldn't find how to do all this...
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.

Locale.setLoadCallback (localeListener);
lang_cb.dataProvider = Locale.languageCodeArray.sort ();
lang_cb.addEventListener ("change",langListener);

View 3 Replies1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc... 2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears. 3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but let me know if I am wrong about this. I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below..

I am looking for a non XML driven Flash banner rotator, something where I can load my images into the FLA and publish. The only rotators I can seem to find have external XML/image files, etc. All I want to do is create simple SWF's that I can use to display rotating images preferably is a smooth and stylish manner. Does anyone know of any, or could point me in the right direction?
View 1 RepliesI'm being asked if some resources I created can be made accessible. Currently each resource is the exact same launch.swf, but each is pulling from a different xml file. I'm so proud of myself! But now it looks like you can't dynamically generate accessilbe resources. I'm being asked for the alt.text equivalent of various text boxes, while the actual content of each box depends on multiple factors.
View 1 RepliesIm currently working on a system whereby a user can fill in text fileds within a PDF form, submit the data as XML and this is picked up by the Actionscript in a .SWF file thus allowing end user customisation without the need to edit the actual Flash files.I have all this working fine so far however im stuck at a particular part.I want to have radio buttons (or something similar) on each page of the PDF where the user can select if the page has to be output in the .SWF file or not. Ive tried creating the actionscript part for this however im completely lost. The XML from the PDF i can manage no probs but the actionscript part is stumping me.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create something like attached picture. I want a start. how i can do it in flash AS3.0
View 3 RepliesI've been hunting for tutorials on XML driven AS3 menus. I've found some really cool stuff, but nothing that does what I want, and most don't really explain the "hows' involved in getting the XML into the flash. I want to dynamically load menu buttons based upon an xml document in horizontal fashion with sub menus that load 10px down and to the right of the main menu button. With each item in the sub menu filing to the right. I'd also like to have that light up bar track the main buttons so that as the mouse moves over the bar slides to it.
Here's the code for the bar:
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
button_mc.buttonMode = true;
button2_mc.buttonMode = true;
button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover);
button2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover);
function hover(e:MouseEvent):void {
new Tween(bar_mc,"x",Strong.easeOut,bar_mc.x,e.currentTarget.x,1,true);
}
Most of the XML driven code I have found obviously doesn't have a static instance name and use addChild()

I've recently been working on some bigger projects in Flash and would really like to be able to use Test Driven Development but haven't found a great way to do so. I'd imagine its a bit harder to do in flash as most of its projects require heavy user interactivity (drag and drop with mouse, keyboard input to move etc...).
