What should I do to also embed special characters? I thought importing font symbols should take care of that?
Here the text is "Press â–²+â–¼ to reset it to default." But when I set testTF.embedFonts = true; up and down arrow is not shown in output. If you set the value to false, characters are shown.

in this site we of course need to to display non-latin characters like etc.we decided to go for the Minion Font (on Mac) because it includes all possible Glyphs.no i embedded the font on the library and used it via menuitem_font =new Minion()but the special characters are still not displayed.also when i do trace(menuitem_font.hasGlyph)i get "false"
View 3 RepliesI 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....
View 1 RepliesDoes anybody know how to force Flash to embed all neededcharacters when creating font symbol? When embedded font is used in textfields instead of device fonts a lot of characters stop to be accessible. IsFlash limited to use only with a couple of languages? What about rest of them?
View 2 RepliesWhen embedding fonts programmatically, (example here), is it possible to specify certain characters as you might if embedding within the Flash IDE?Here is my code so far, which simply embeds the font. It works, but I am assuming that it is embedding an entire character set.
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;

I'm building a Flash ad that uses the Neo Sans font, the text that is shows contains the Euro symbol, but I can get the Euro symbol to show. This is how I'm embedding the font:
[Embed(source='C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/NeoSans Medium.otf', fontFamily='_NeoSansMedium', embedAsCFF='false', mimeType="application/x-font", unicodeRange="U+20AC")]
public static var _NeoSansMedium:Class;
As you can see I'm using the unicodeRange to try to show the Euro symbol, but still it is not showing up.
This is how I'm using this embedded font:
var subPriceFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
subPriceFormat.font = "_NeoSansMedium";
subPriceFormat.size = 40;
[Code].....
How can I check that this font supports the Euro symbol, and is the unicodeRange the reason the Euro symbol is not being displayed?
I am having issue with my created flash, it can't handle chinese characters? is there some way i can handle this thru code? or should there be any font or language pack installed
View 3 Replies1) 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'm trying to embed a font in my project by using url("font.ttf") rather than local("Font Name"), but it doesn't seem to pick it up. The font in question is called "Gotham Bold". When i view the details of the font, the font weight is regular, however when i use local("Gotham Bold") in the css i have to specify fontWeight: bold or else it wont pick it up. But when I use url("folderGotham-Bold.ttf"), and specify fontWeight: bold, it says that font weight is not found for that TTF. If i remove the fontweight, there's no errors, but the font is not applied to the text.
View 2 RepliesI need to present chemical formulas with subscripts and superscripts in a dynamic text box. To do this, I've downloaded and embedded the GG Subscript and GG Superscript fonts, created a dynamic text box with Arial as the font, and added ActionScript code to change the font when I need subscripts and superscripts. the following is a simplified version of my code.
[Code].....
I get a compiler error 1119 Access of possibly undefined property html through a reference with static flash.text:TextField. The text box is a dynamic text box, not static, so I'm puzzled.I don't get this error with the GG Subscript code above.
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?
By sending the below text block from Flash there are problems with the through PHP created XML output.
[Code]...
I think some of the characters causing the problem. How to fix this problem?
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?
how can i get the value os a attribute located in a xml file that contains caracters like:
� � � � � � ?
sometimes it gives me a error in the text, other blocks the swf application.
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.

View 2 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 have a Flash file saved as version 8 with the following script calling an xml file:

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.

View 1 RepliesI 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.
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 }
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]...
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to display some special characters like "<", not equal sign and all other math sign in Flash. I want it to display in an htmlText field, wether its from externel text file or not.Now here's what i know so far1. I cant display these characters if the text field is embeeded. But i need it to be embeeded coz if it's not the other characters would display hairy and strange.2. I can display the "+" sign if i code it to %2b. I read that the code for "<" is %3c, but it doesn't work. Don't know why.
