ActionScript 2.0 :: Text Shows Correctly Locally, But Not On The Web?
Jul 19, 2010
I downloaded a XML based website flash template and made some modifications to it. With this template there was few fonts included in separate folder (I had to install them to view swf and edit fla correctly) after all my mods done I published it to swf file and opened local file with browser, everything was working perfectly at this moment. Then I asked my friend if it could upload it on his server to check if this website looks the same on the web. I noticed that text (which is written with custom font that was included) is either missing or misplaced.
I tried to emblem font, by putting it into my fla lib, but it get me nowhere. Maybe I didn't do that correctly.
PS.
I was working with this tut: [URL] I got myself up to the step "Creating a new Font symbol instance using ActionScript". Text in my template is imported from XML file, I don't know where to apply any AS code to make text load with embedded font. However I find this tut for AS3 while my template is AS2 one .

I have a dynamic text box on the _root level of my movie that loads an external text file. When I test it in Flash (MX2004) locally the text shows up just fine. But when I upload it to the site it doesn't show at all. I'm exporting as Flash 6. I just want to display as html text and not embed font (if possible). Also, there are no masks on the _root level.
Here is the code to load the text:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("/text/about.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {

All I want to do is send the FlashVars to the Flash movie where it picks it up and goes to play the frame specified in AdFrame.
This is an odd one because it works perfectly when I preview it locally in IE. However, it does not work in IE when I move it out and tested remotely (tried it on two servers). It does not work in Firefox remotely or locally. I have the lates version of the js and I authored in Flash 9.[code]...

I'm creating an alert popup within an Adobe Flex 4 project using the following:
Alert.show(resourceManager.getString('myresource', 'ErrorMessage'), resourceManager.getString('myResource', 'ErrorMessageTitle'), Alert.OK|Alert.CANCEL,this,onExitSuccess,null,Alert.CANCEL);
When my language is of Asian origin (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc) the title appears correctly on the Alert, but the message does not. I'm seeing the correct localization values EVERYWHERE ELSE in my application except the Alert popup and in one other instance on a mx:Checkbox control.
I've checked my app and the strings are being returned from the resourceManager correctly but just aren't rendering to the screen. Does anyone have any insight as to what might be causing this behavior?

In Flex Mobile Project, Text Input shows blocks instead of showing arabic text. Labels are working fine with Arabic.
Is there any way to show Arabic text inside text input?
My code sample is

Since, it is for flex mobile project, when I input any text in arabic, it shows separate characters. Arabic is a language that doesn't have separate characters. It should combine letters to form specific word.

BUT now the text inside the dynamic text field only shows up half!To fill the dynamic text field I used this code: inhoud.text = "this is a text message";inhoud.autoSize = "right";

I want a user running a Flash game on his machine (not from a server) to be able to save some game data locally.From what I've read, there still isn't any way to do this, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone knows a sneaky xml or php work around.

I know nothing about server-side anything, but I'd like to be able to put some simple data into a text file on my own hard drive with flash. I'm guessing its impossible, but is there anything I can install that will do something with the post method of loadVars to receive some text from flash?

I'm simply trying to get Flash to display the first ten characters in a trace, but the results always come back undefined. Here is my code:
var lin = "";
var testfile = new File("test.txt");
testfile.open("text","read");
lin = testfile.read(10);
trace(lin);
The flash file is in the same directory as the text file.

I'm building a small scroll component for a text box, which loads text dynamically from an xml file. I've got it working fine, apart from the fact that if the text isn't long enough to fill the text box, then the scrollbar still shows up - I don't want it too! Is there any tips / hints or even a snippet of code that someone can offer? Basically I need the scroller to only show if the text is bigger / longer than the height of the text box.

I have a swf file that loads other swf files with an XML file, which are populated by external text on the fly.
Everything works perfectly on my computer. And it all worked perfectly on a previous website.
Now, for some reason, when I load these onto my website, the text fields show 'Undefined'.[code]...

Ok, so i have this problem with text dissapearing if i use one font, it shows in one textbox, but the other ones are odd, they either show 0 or 1, or the first letter only, or nothing at all. What's the problem?In the beggining i tried to ignore the problem by changing the font or the font style, but now, it's becoming to ugly if i use too many different fonts.

I have a dynamic text box with instance name and Var set to page_text. Then I have this code:
[Code]....
Before I get current_page and total_pages. If there are more pages, everything works fine and it shows like "page 1/5", but if I have only one page, it shows "_level0.page_text" instead of "page 1/1". current_page and total_pages trace correctly.

I have downloaded an xml gallery (as2) as we needed one for an old as2 file. Now I mostly use as3 but thought as I only needed to tweak it there would be no probs. Of course, it rarely works out that way. The problem is, text loaded from the xml file is displayed with its corresponding image. This works fine in the file.When I load the SWF into another SWF however, it all works EXCEPT the text doesn't show at all?? Whoever made the gallery used 'device fonts' in the textbox, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I tried changing the textbox to dynamic and embedding characters but still nothing.

I am brand new to flash and AS3, and everything else code related. I've built a simple file with text and audio. The audio is an external file, and it plays with a mouse click. Everything tests fine in flash. I also placed the file in Dreamweaver and previewed in a browser - that's working. But... I've now uploaded the file to a live site. The text shows up but it doesn't play.

I'm building textbox dynamically as i normally do, i'm importing a font to the library and embedding the font to the textfield. However for some reason when the text is White it doesn't antialias correctly. I'm using white, pink and bronze text, when it's bronze or pink it is fine but when it is white or even a colour close to white then it blurs and looks messy.
here are my text box and format settings are attached.

I am colorblind.I need to change either the color of the background or the color of the text on the layers section on the Timeline.I simply cannot read/see what is currently showing.It is a very light blue background with white text and white dots for seeing, locking, or setting the outline color.I need to either change the text color and dots to black so I can see them, or try to change the background color to a dark blue so I can read the white text.Changing the text color would really be my preference. Adobe hasn't been very concerned about colorblindness when developing these products. I can barely make out all the light grey/grey/dark grey/grey stuff.

I recently hired a programmer to design a flash health calculator for my website. It works great and text shows up correctly when viewing online and standalone. The problem starts when I try to edit the file. I wanted to change some text in an action layer. That seems to work out fine but when I try to publish I get garbled text.
I should also mention that when loading the file I get a Font Mapping dialog box stating "The document 'x' contains one or more fonts not available on your system. The text will display and publish with the font mapping below:". I have tried to select various fonts in this dialog box but still get garbled text.
When I publish I also get this on the Output box: "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts."

I was coding an AS3 file and it worked great until I started writing a class to extend the textfield class. After that, every time I tested my movie, the text field is created but nothing showed up. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that the text was actually in the text field, but was outside of the bounds of the text field and the field's height cannot be resized through code or with multiple lines of text. I found this out because I could copy the text and paste it into a text editor (and no, the text isn't set to white). Everything works properly with dynamic text fields created on the stage, just not when created in actionscript. I have tried embedding a font and using the default with no luck. The code even works on a different machine!! The same problem occurs in AS2. I have tried dumping the class file I created, reinstalling Flash, the Flash Player, and even uninstalling my font management program and still nothing.

I usually program with C#, PHP, html etc.trying to learn Adobe Flash now so i downloaded the trial version which has 30 days trial.tried to create and follow the tutor for click ball which all of the code is the same but it doesnt work.
I triple check the code and its all right but it still not working.so i commented out all of the code and has a simple code of changing the text of the label.i set the text to "abcdefg" and but it only show "cdef".i expanded the width of the label so width is not the issue. trying to search for the limitation of the trial but i dont see any.trying to test this before i buy it.it does change but not changing correctly.i try to set to another value it always show partially only.

trace("è"); //outputs é
How is this resolved in ActionScript?
Sample of the XML that is affected:
'<month name="month6"> ' +
'<link.content document-href="tn5684" section-href="tn5687" document-type="SPECIAL-TOPIC" rank="1" link-url="">Bebé prematuro</link.content> ' +
'<link.content document-href="tn8416" section-href="tn8416" document-type="DP-TOPIC" rank="2" link-url="">¿Cómo puedo tomar decisiones informadas sobre mi bebé extremadamente prematuro?</link.content> ' +
'</month> ' +
The text appears in a List Component. I am changing the font around to find one that might work but this is not working. Anyone know how to represent accented characters in a List component?
Update:Loading the XML document from an external file does not have the same problem:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.load("someXmlFile.xml");
//This works
However I need this xml to be built into the SWF. So am creating the XML from a string:
var xmlString:String = "<root><textNode>bebè</textNode></root>";
var myXML:XML = new XML(xmlString); //This breaks the encoding?!
So I was using Flash Develop to edit the actionscript that contains the xml. This was apparently not encoding the text correctly.
