ActionScript 2.0 :: Characters Not Translating In Flash From Ext DB?
Aug 17, 2005

i'm studying getPixel32() and the Bitmap and Bitmap Data classes.Basically, i'd like to know how to output a simple trace of an ARGB from a hexadecimal value.as an aside, i'm under the impression, which i assume/hope is wrong, that hexadecimal values can't produce as many colors as RGBA values.perhaps "web safe" has thrown me off with understanding the usefulness or desire to use colors produces with hexadecimal values.
I'm new to using ByteArray, and am trying to parse hex color values from an .ase (Adobe Swatch Exchange) using ByteArray in AS3. I can see position of the hex values using a hex editor, but don't know which methods to use to parse the hex value from there. Here are the values copied from the hex editor. The 2 color values are #ffffff and #cdcdcd:
I've made a weak initial attempt to get the first color, but am stuck here :
var byteA:ByteArray = _fr.data; byteA.position=29;[code]....
how to parse out the color value, so it can be added to the temp array tA? As a bonus answer, since there can be multiple colors in a swatch, advice on a method to parse out all colors in a given .ase file

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 saw most of the games on facebook having a 3D character that you can dress up and rotate perfectly. Does flash CS4 have the power to do this? If yes, then can anyone help me or give me a link to a tutorial or any site out there that discuss this kind of tech
I have my language/local set to Korean; also, I.E 8 has encodings for utf-8 set.(Same problem when viewed in Firefox vs 2.0.0.12) It is an English version of Windows XP, SP2 (all the latest patches installed - excluding SP3) This problem exists with a number of web sites; the attached file shows an example: the flash display (located line +5 from the top) does not display korean characters in the right box, yet, the left box is fine, note, this problem is illustrated elsewhere on this page. the URL is [url]..
I am developing a flash movie for a college professor whouses a lot of equations in her presentations. I was wondering ifthere was an easy way to add greek letters and other math symbolsto a normal flash text box, or if it was possible to do anythingremotely similar to this.

I used Flash-Based Email Form Using PHP by Senocular and I have a problem with Polish characters (eg. ‚, …, ™, ‡, ¼, etc). I can type them in the form but when I read the email after sending it to my mailbox the email appears with strange, unreadable marks.I have tried putting some code in the email.php like:[code]I was reading on the Internet about converting / setting charset in Flash or php (eg. I System.useCodepage=true; iconv etc�) before sending the email but I do not know exactly how it should be done.
I've build a guestbook in flash, which works together with a PHP file and a textfile. The problem is that the guestbook doesn't show any special characters... In the textfile they do appear, but not in the flashfile... So flash uploads the text fine, but when it want to download the text...it leaves all the special characters out...
I'm calling a php file from Flash and adding variables afterwards like so:It works fine if I copy and paste this directly into the web browser, however if I call it through flash, the address bar would end up like this: something.php?title=??Is there anything I can do from PHP or flash to encode/decode the string? that method worked perfectly.Everything is echoing out fine, however I'm now having some issues inserting the informtion into my database via MySQL, all of my fields are set to UTF-8. I'm getting some weird characters instead of the Chinese characters.
(I used the * to hide the original names from here). Anyway, all the Titles and Descriptions I write there, are displayed correctly in my website, with the exception of V, j and G. At least those are the characters I've noticed to be missing. Anything else, works PERFECT. v, J and g works i.e.
can download animated talking characters for flash? I like to create a presentation which has an animated character similar to this -I was able to find (google) several tutorials for creating animated characters, but I'm not really good at drawing avatars, so now I'm looking to download one (a .fla file)
I am trying to use POST in Flash (ActionScript 2), to POST values to PHP mail script.I tried the PHP mail script with HTML form, and it worked perfectly fine.But when I POST from flash and input non-English characters, I get "????" in the mail.I tried utf8_encode($_POST["name"])Edit:I also tried utf8_decode($_POST["name"]), it didn't work.Update: (So you wont have to go through all the comments)I checked the variables in Flash,the values are stored correctly.The HTML page where the Flash is embedded is UTF-8 encoded.I watched the POST headers with FireBug, the POST itself is already messed up, showing "????" instead of the real value.The the messed up "????" value, is currently url-encoded by flash, and decoded by PHP, resulting in $_POST["name"] == "???";I suspect its the sendAndLoad method that creates the mess.Update:Here is the flash code:
How can I check if a string has any other character than the ones listed here: [URL]
I would like to know if the string was inputted in any other language than English. Is finding special characters in the string the best way to detect non-english characters?
I have a flash-application (done with CS4) in which a particular Textbox, which is vertical fails to display characters with a hacek (ˇ) on top. If such a character appears with in a string that is to be shown, it is simply dropped, leaving the string crippled.
This baffles me since characters with hacek work on other (horizontal) textfields in the same .swf with the same Font (Arial) work just fine. I also tried manually telling flash to embed these characters for this textfield, but to no avail. Even entering characters with hacek in the flash IDE works without problems.
I am not very familiar with flash, this application has been developed by a co-worker who is no longer employed here.
I'm developing application on Azerbaijan Language(in flash cs5 on actionscript 3), when I copy symbols from word document to flash it shows only the letters which are same in Latin. For example in "fəallıq göstəricisi" flash converts second and 13th symbols(both are "ə") to rectangles.
I have seen this somewhere, people make a swf just for the fonts, import fonts they need into the library (and embed just the wanted characters) and they probably load this swf somewhere....
I've created a quiz in flash that reads in questions and answers from an external xml file. E.g (xml).
<question q="allons-nous? = are we going/do we go?" ans_a="allons-nous?" right="a">
I have been asked to develop the quiz further so it ignores the case the answer is typed in (which I guess is possible using toLowerCase) and also to ignore any ! or ? symbols the user might type in .I assume the only way to accomplish this is to check the answer against a range of possible answers in the XML eg.
<question q="allons-nous? = are we going/do we go?" ans_a="allons-nous?" ans_b="allons-nous" right="a",right="b">//this lines probably wrong
Does anyone know if there is any way of getting flash to ignore symbols if they are typed in?
