ActionScript 2.0 :: Sorting Special Characters In XML File
Oct 8, 2007
I am working on a dictionary which has been created in XML and loads into Flash. The characters all work in textfields etc but when it comes to sorting the array alphabetically I'm hitting problems with them.
[Code]...
in the dictionary function I basically push the words, their translations, gender etc into the array creating a mulitdimensional array. I'm using the following to sort the array which is sorting numerically first then alphabetically and is case insensitve.
allWords.sortOn("engWord", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
displayArray(allWords);
My problem is that all words beginning with �, � etc appear at the end of the array. How can I get "ï" to have the same weight as "a" and "ï" to have the same weight as "i" etc.

I downloaded a flash template and I need to add special characters (Greek Language) to: fonts.fla. After editing the file the flash is not loading anymore.
Notice : This is an AS3 project and you can only add AS3 SWF files When publishing your custom SWF file be sure to add this method to your actionscript file:
public function startModule():void { //inside this method you can start your transitions to show the content }

I've made an application which loads external images using URLRequest and URLLoader.Everything works fine until it needs to load an image which has special characters in the file name/location, e.g. and then it doesn't load anything

when i run the .swf file locally it works, but if i run it when it's embedded on an html page, it doesn't work.

1) 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 working on a Flex app that has a MySQL database. Data is retrieved from the DB using PHP then I am using AMFPHP to pass the data on to FlexThe problem that I am having is that the data is being copied from Word documents which sometimes result in some of the more unusual characters are not displaying properly. For example, Word uses different characters for starting and ending double quotes instead of just " (the standard double quotes). Another example is the long dash instead of -.All of these characters result in one or more accented capital A characters appearing instead. Not only that, each time the document is saved, the characters are replaced again resulting in an ever-increasing number of these accented A's appearing.
Doing a search and replace for each troublesome character to swap it for one of the none characters seems to work but obviously this requires compiling a list of all the characters that may appear and means there is scope for this continuing as new characters are used for the first time. It also seems like a bit of a brute force way of getting round the problem rather than a proper solution.Does anyone know what causes this and have any good workarounds / fixes? I have had similar problems when using utf-8 characters in html documents that aren't set to use utf-8. Is this the same thing and if so, how do I get flex to use utf-8?

I've got an XML-RPC server-client setup with Flash as the front-end and Delphi as the back-end. I'm essentially sending Strings which contain XML to Flash from Delphi. It's working without any real issues but one: Sometimes the Delphi side needs to send a ">" or "<" character in a string (e.g. "dn < ds").
This causes a problem when I try to convert the string to XML because Flash interprets that as malformed (the ">" or "<" could signify a tag). Will I have to comb the string for any occurrences and then escape them (as in "%gt;" for ">" and "%lt;" for "<") myself, or is there possibly some built-in method of dealing with those?

I've been looking on several fourms but have yet to find the answer to how to fix special characters. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but if someone could point me there. I looked at the fourm on kirupa but it didn't solve my problem. Right know my dynamic text has & a p o s; in it. My xml file is encoding="UTF-8" and I used System.useCodepage = true; but still no luck. I also embedding my font.

i'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.

I have a Flash file saved as version 8 with the following script calling an xml file:
[Code]...
When posted online my flash file displays the encoding tag in the xml file. AND the apostrophe, ampersand and quote marks display as html code instead of the actual character. I can take the encoding tag out of the xml file but my characters still don't display correctly. My dynamic text field in flash (myText) does have special characters embedded, plus I have them entered manually in the field for 'include these characters'.

I have some XML. The apostrophe and dashes don't display. Is there a way to handle it without resorting to & ? It is the dash right after the underlined title. For the apostrophe, I went ahead and used ITSD's (for ITSD's). Just wondering if I have to that with every special character.
[Code]...
The display in the TextArea Component puts a little box in places where the dash and apostrophe are.

I am working on project in flex 3, where user enters some text which is to be stored in a mysql database and shown later. I am using XML for data transfer from flex to php and vice-versa. SimpleXMLElement in php is being used to create the XML. The problem is the XML breaks on special characters.Here is sample code:
FLEX:
var someXML:XML = <root><data>somedata</data><data>...</data> ... </root>
var data:Object = {};
data.xmlData = someXML;
saveDataService.send(data);
Here somedata is the data entered by the user. In php, I extract the someXML using SimpleXMLElement and store it to mysql. There is no problem till here. Even if somedata has special characters its working fine and data is stored properly.Now, in the other case, getting data from database and showing in flex, the response from the php breaks with an error:
SimpleXMLElement::addChild() [simplexmlelement.addchild]:unterminated entity reference
I tried using urlencode in php, and decodeURI function in flex, but the decoded string is not the same, few special characters are still %xy after decoding.

In ActionScript3 i wanted to get the text between 2 quotes from some HTML using a input index value where i would simply increase the 2nd quote characters value by 1. This would be very simple however i have now noticed using indexOf does not seem to work correctly with quotes and other special characters.[code]...

I want to include user input in a XML attribute. Users can type in whatever they want.
But how can I escape special characters like double quotes in the user input string?
I have tried myStr.replace and CDATA
But when I try to generate my XML String from the input with:var xmlData:XML = new XML(inputString);
I get all different kinds of errors. XML parser failure: element is malformed.
And with CDATA I get XML parser failure: Unterminated attribute.

I have an XML attribute that loads text into Flash and is done so by pulling in an XML attribute value. The problem is that this is a German based xml, and the special characters (�,�) in the string are choking the Flash/XML processor.
for example this would be an xml-node attribute
Code:
<menu pageID = "produkte-zubeh�r" gotoURL="/Produkte/Zubeh�r">
btw:I don't know for sure if this is a xml or flash error

I'm using PHP to create an XML file which is read by Flash/AS3 and displayed on a website. All is well except that I absolutely must use special characters such as, &, and '.
I've gotten all of those through XML to flash, but I don't know how to tell flash to parse the XML and save as a String rather than just save a literal string.
So I send "Single Bottle Solutionsâ„¢" and I get "Single Bottle Solutions" instead of "Single Bottle Solutions".

So I have a flashobject which I need to pass a formatted DateTime string to.
My code:
string date = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
which outputs as: 2009-09-16 22:26:45
However when it is actually output to HTML and swfobject it renders it as:
so.addVariable("inNowDate","2009-09-16+22%3a25%3a13");
I think this is messing up a calculation that the flash object does based off the current time. Do I need to encode or decode this?
