I have this little issue with one specific character (only one so far) while loading an external xml file into flash.My issue is with the apostrophe character: Even though in the xml file the text in one of the tags it's let's say....kirupa's forums..flash displays it as kirupa's forums so substituting the apostrophe with the url encoding
View 2 RepliesI have a little foreign character issue while loading an external xml file that contains characters like accents:.and so on.I embeded the font (with all latin characters) in the dynamic text field that the xml is loaded.Everything works fine but when I have a foreign character like the ones mentioned above, it ignores that character.i.e:when the xml has the word: teraputico my dynamic text field displays: terapico tracing the variable that contains the text, the output window displays: terapico:I tried rendering the text field as html and it didn't work either.
View 8 RepliesI am currently working on a platformer using accelerometer to move the character and xml to load levels as so..
[as]
level.x += (e.accelerationX*40);
if (e.accelerationX > 5) {
e.accelerationX = 5;
} if (e.accelerationX * 40 < 3 && e.accelerationX * 40 > -3) {
player.gotoAndStop(1);
[Code] .....
And it is all added into one movieclip called level. My problem is when the character hits under a platform it will go up it which I don't want it too, I don't know how to fix it heres the gravity code.
How can I change the spacing betweem characters when loading it from a XML file?

i was wondering if any of you out there could tell me how it is possible to make a movieclip of a character and when the character is dragged about the screen by the curser, how do you make the characters arms and legs swing about in a realistic fashion.
View 2 RepliesI would like my character to move as if he was drunk I am unsure how to do that I am using the keyboard for his movement. I also have a character that moves at random I would like the drunk moving character to be able to catch this character and play a scene from within the drunk characters movie clip but I want this character to try and escape the idea is the drunk character gets points for how long he is able to hang on to this character
View 2 RepliesEach line in the dynamic textbox has 15 characters, and yet you can notice the difference in the length(between each line).
I want to make the length of each line look same if they have same number of charaters.
Is it possible to make something like the "Bone tool" does in older Flash CS3?I mean make all limbs for a character and connect them together in the joints, so if I drag the hand, the rest of the arm follows in a natural way. So I can easly make motion tween animations.

View 3 RepliesI have some German content which contains an umlaut (ü). This content is being built into an XML file. I then have a flash file which uses the xml to build a coverflow. My problem is that the 'ü' character is not being displayed in the coverflow. I've made sure the xml is encoded correctly, as you can see from the snippet below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<artworkinfo>
<albuminfo>
[code]....
As you can see, the umlaut is in the albumName element, but when that text displays it simply misses out the 'ü'. I've added a bunch of encoding groups to the text element in the coverflow file, as well as specifically adding the 'ü' in the 'Include these characters' element. I'm stuck for how to get this to display.
know this._name would grab the instance name, but what about when you have something called mc_1 or mc_2 and so on, if I wanted to grab this last character (1,2,etc) as an integer to put in another variable?

View 3 RepliesOn the stage:Textfield called "inputTXT".And a button called "Go". All I am trying to accomplish here is to have the input characters validated to be ONLY numbers and max 5. However, I don't want to use:"inputTXT.restrict = "0123456789".
Instead I would like to check if the characters entered after pressing the "go" btn, are within the defined parameters above (numbers and max5). If yes, then I need to pass a URL, if not then I need to display an error message.

View 2 RepliesI am making a sniping game in Flash CS3 (Actionscript 2.0).In the current level I'm making I want a stickman to walk to a dumpster, throw away some trash, and then walk back to his original destination. While he's walking though, I want to be able to click him and have him play the animation of him dying right on the spot. The problem I have is, he walks and throws away the trash just fine, but when I click him he doesn't fall where I killed him, he falls where the animation inside him ends.I'm going to give out all of the ActionScript I used and where I put each animation.Okay so starting on the Main Timeline is the stickman.I double-click to go inside him. When that is done it shows a short animation of him dying. The first frame has the ActionScript:
stop();
And the last frame has the ActionScipt:
stop();
_root.gotoAndStop(255);
(After he dies I want it to go to a "You Win!" page, this part works just fine.)Go inside him a second time and you get the animation of him walking to the dumpster, throwing away the trash,etc.No ActionScript here but his head is a button (obviously)so it is clickable.
So long story short: I want him to be able to move freely, but when you click him it plays the death animation right in the area I clicked him in, as apposed to the spot he dies in at the end of the animation inside him.
So I'm making a platforming game, how do I make my character have a different animation for when he runs or jumps?
