View 0 RepliesI have a question about XML in flash.I have a photo gallery that utilizes XML to call out the photo as well as the caption.See XML data below:[code]This is the AS that calls for the photos and captions (The whole script is very long, so I am only going to annote the part that calls for the XML): It goes like this:[code]My problem is that the data won't display special characters.I am worried because I am using multiple languages, and as it is I am having to remove important characters from translations..I also have a second AS that calls for XML data for body copy which which works great, displays all characters in multiple languages, and allows HTML code to be used:[code]Any idea on how to get the XML for the photo gallery to display all characters?
View 0 RepliesI need to add some Japanese characters into AS in Flash within a function such as
function my_clean_char(x) { var okchars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ天平七年随我朝使帰朝不獲一簣玄蕃頭従五位上袁晋卿賜姓清村宿禰亦所不顧" okchars += "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz天平七年随我朝使帰朝不獲一簣玄蕃頭従五位上袁晋卿賜姓清村宿禰亦所不顧" okchars += "0123456789" okchars += "-, ()." if(okchars.indexOf(x) >= 0) { return true } else { return false }}
this displays ok within this forum but in the AS all I see is small boxes where the japanese characters are. Anyway to fix this?

View 0 RepliesI'm developing an application in Flex 3.5 for video tutorials, which uses a lot of Captivate 4 (AS3) videos (>200). In the front end, the user can navigate thorough the videos in a menu structure. In the administration part, the admins can upload more videos and organize them into the menu structure. Since we have more than 200 Captivate videos, we wanted to build in a search functionality into the fronted, which would be based on the text contents of the Captivate videos. The idea is: every time the admin uploads a new Captivate video into the system, an index will be created based on the contents of the video.
My question: how can I extract the text captions of a Captivate video using Flex or rather ActionScrip 3? (I know, there is an Export/Import function of Captivate, but I would like to access those texts dynamically from Flex.)
I am trying to modify the hover caption tutorial from here at Kirupa to load the text in the caption from an external text file. Could anyone give me a hand trying to figure this out?I tried the simple way of loading external text but because the text is loaded in a MovieClip this does not work. Here is my code for the hover menu that currently loads the text dynamically through ActionScript:
MovieClip.prototype.resize = function() {
var w = box.caption.textWidth+0
var h = box.caption.textHeight+0;

how to create a image gallery that uses arrays from a text file rather than xml (this is because the project I have now generates alot of html coding and stores it within a DB, it doesn't have any set html pages so using flash and xml is out of the question as it needs to be relative to the html page).
I have got as far as including my own way to get captions to be displayed as well....but here comes the problem, no matter what loop i have tried the captions seem to stay on the 1st caption and not change as the different thumbnails are clicked..
here is my code
Code:
var locVar = new Array();
locVar = imgLoc.split(",");
var tmbVar = new Array();
[Code].....
i have this code below that i made using a tutorial....it loads vars from txt file splits it then puts it into an array....once in an array it the brings the pics in from the array to create thumbnails and a larger image. my problem is i have captions to go with it and when i try to load the captions nothing happens or can be seen to be happening. i dont know where i am going wrong as i have no output or compiled errors

I am trying to build a flash slideshow that uses XML to call up images and text captions. I 've found a good example of what I am looking for on macromedia's website.found here: http:[url]...
I would like to add the ability to fade between images and have a button that creates a larger jpg version in a popup window for whatever image is being displayed as current in the slideshow.Would I need 2 XML files for this or can I just use one? I prefer one. Sorry I am quite new to XML, this is my first foray into it.I can build this thing w/o XML, but it seems to be so much easier if I did it with XML.
in my projects i often use some xml files to load external text that i can format in css and it worked fine till now..i have a site that i am prograaming in italian and german and in both languages there is much text that contains special characters as "à" "ò" "è" "ù" "ä" "ü" and so on .. the problem is that when i write some text with this special characters in xml when the text is loaded in the flash this special characters are not recognised and instead of them a small square is displayed ..
i tryed to load the text from a html file instead of a xml file (because in HTML i know how to write theese special characters and let them display right in my html pages .. for example à = à but no way .. the flash now loades the text à instead of à ..

View 1 RepliesI have been working on a subtitles engine for flash/flv video player. On my Mac everything is great, nice aliased glyphs, displaying all the characters, etc. Switch to windows, it all goes out the window. Some machines with Eastern Characters enabled display fine, but I can't guarantee all users will have this option selected.
I am using the TLFTextField, I am pulling in UTF-8 XML with Chinese/Japanese characters. I have tried embedding the (required fonts/glyphs) but pushes the file size up massively. I have also tried changing it to unicode, with no joy. Has anyone got any experience with displaying these characters while maintaining a low file size.

View 5 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.

i am missing a few characters, once i load text into a dynamic text field. chars are not missing per say; they are being replaced with empty squares.characters like the euro sign and accentuated german a letter.whats is weird is that other accentuated german letters do appear. so only a few selected are missing.How ive set up the fla:
1) i've added 4 text fields to the stage in the font im using, Arial, one for each font style: normal, italic, bold and bold italic, and in all 4 fields ive embedded all latin characters (to include the german accentuaded characters and im guessing it's in the punctuation group that holds the euro sign, so that one is also embedded), besides lowercase, uppercase, numerical, and all the default groupd to include basic text.
2) i've got a dynamic text field, created with createTextField, and setup the following ActionScript (2):[code]i mean, it seems that the arial font is missing a few accentuated characters! because the code i have setup loads other accentuated characters.
