I have created a dynamic text box which is used to put the length of a sound clip (which is worked out using AS2).
I want to use a font which isn't standard - VAGRounded, so I need to embed the characters.
If I select Family : VAGRounded and Style : thin then all is well. Ditto if I pick style:light but if I pick Style:bold or Style:black then the nothing displays
In my windows font folder all 4 appear to exist.
I notice that exactly the same appears to happen with the times font too (except some of the family options are different)
When I open the font-mapping box it tells me that there aer some fonts that I can't use but there is not list of what they are.

I'm loading content from a text file into a text field in Flash. In that text file I have some simple html tags like <b>, <i>, and <img>. I'm setting the textfield as html text:
myTextField.htmlText = myContent
The img tags work fine, but for some reason the bold and italics are not displaying...the tags are being correctly stripped from the text, but there is no bold or italic text. I'm embedding all the characters I need, but do I need to somehow embed the bold/italics versions of those characters?
I've got a customized xml driven flv player that I have output as an swf. It looks and works perfectly[url]...
However, when that very swf file is called into another swf file via the UILoader componenent, those modifications don't show up.[url]... The red text is now white and the orange fade-up blinks black first.
I'm trying to update my text area via ActionScript code using this: scoreLabel.text = this.score.toString(); but it's not behaving correctly. When the score is 18, the text area displays just 1, when it's 26 it won't display anything at all... As a test, I tried doing this: scoreLabel.text = "this is a test"; and now the text area is just displaying e: [URL] This isn't a font issue, as I'm using Arial. What is going on here?

This one is really strange. The last letter of all my text in the actions window gets cut-off by the next letter (or space) and it is making my script very difficult to read.
View 3 RepliesEverything was working fine. However, today when I check it, the XML isn't displaying properly in Firefox. Yet it works fine in IE, and was working in Firefox yesterday. Would some of you guys mind checking it in Firefox, and letting me know wether it works ok for you's, and wether its just my installation
View 2 RepliesI'm making an interactive animation for my project and I need to display chinese characters on stage. I've already installed the neccessary Window XP features to display chinese and it does display chinese anywhere I go. The strange thing is that the chinese characters are displayed as little white squares on stage but not in my library. In other words, I can read chinese in my library or any other places in my computer besides those that were set on stage.

View 14 RepliesOkay, so I'm setting up a Flash website and everything is working perfectly except for one thing.
The portfolio loads the Titles and Descriptions from an XML file in the following way:
<thumbnail filename="/mo*******s/01.JPG" label="Vjagg"
url="http://www.**********.com/****/...
description="Vjagg" />
(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.

I have embedded the fonts with special characters but the text pulled from data base won't show special characters - it would just show like it is in data base.. something like " Biež ".
How do I embed, encode it so I would see special characters?

Is there a new syntax for displaying international characters?
Im basically loading an xml file to flash, the xml file contains the following characters: these characters do not show up correctly, instead they appear like so (as entity references): I tried replacing the illegal xml characters using the equivalent entity references, but still i get the same problem.You can find my files in attachments (contains an .fla .swf and xml file.).
View 6 RepliesI have a button that when clicked it displays a few lines of text. Some of the text is large, bold and some of it is normal and smaller size. The first time I click the button the text displays properly but if I click on it a second time then the text is messed up. I am new to flash and have tried several different things.

View 9 RepliesI have some problems with Bitmap displaying properly loaded image, when providing variables as width and height in the constructor as opposed to numbers, example:
[Code]....
Running the app with this code cuts away half of the picture from right and half of the picture from the bottom. Since the BitmapData is filled with solid white background, the clipping is clearly visible. When line marked with [*] is commented out, and line marked with [**] is uncommented instead, the whole picture displays and all is just as expected. The only difference between those two lines of code is, that in line [*] are used some properties+variables, and constants are used in line marked with [**].
I bought a flash news ticker from the site Flash Den but haven't been able to do much with it because it's in AS2 and I only really know AS3.The news ticker loads the text/link from an XML file, but it has a problem loading characters such as forward slashes (/), colons (:) as well as other characters?
View 5 RepliesI am running into issues displaying Thai characters in Flex components that make use of the Flash Text Engine (FTE), specifically on Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.Here's a blurb of my compiler font managers in flex-config.xml:
<flex-config>
<target-player>10.2.0</target-player>
<!-- Specifies the version of the compiled SWF -->[code].....
Thai characters render correctly in mx components such as TextField so far. However, FTE components such as TextLine show those crappy-looking boxes as a substitution. My initial guess was that somehow one of the compiler font managers declared in flex-config.xml was not finding the right system font to fallback to for Thai characters. So, I ensured the system font was installed by going to System Preferences > Language and Text > Edit List. Then I changed fontFamily to Arial, Ayuthaya.Still was seeing the boxes of evil.
Next I figured that perhaps the Arial font might be assigning a box for each unicode value corresponding to a Thai character. So it was effectively overriding the Ayuthaya system font. So I changed fontFamily once more to just Ayuthaya and this worked with one issue - Ayuthaya looks inherently different from Arial for non-thai characters.is there a less invasive way to support Thai in FTE components such that the appearance of the text is closer to the Arial font? I would rather not embed a font because I'm constrained on SWF size.
I'm creating a banner advertisement in Flash. It pulls all information from an XML file. Images for each product are also loaded externally. Everything is working fine except for 1 thing.
I have an image separator i'm using as a background for each product container to lend a bit of separation to each product. But when I try to add it using code it's only added to the last item. Doesn't matter if it's 10 items or 2 items...it's only being added to the last one and i'm not sure why. Anyways, i've zipped up the associated files and put it on my webserver. I'm using the Tweener class and have included that in the archive as well.
Here's a link to the archive : Project Files
I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
Here's what I've tried.
Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly?
I've come across a strange error with a contact details form developed with Flash CS5 Prof. My keyboard layout is set up as English (UK) and pressing shift-2 gives me an ", shift-' gives me a @ in Chrome, Notepad, Word etc. In a text field on the flash form, entering shift-2 gives me @ but shift-' gives me ". I understand this is how the US keyboard is mapped out but it is confusing to my users.
How can I change the text field so that it works correctly for my keyboard layout?

My issue is thus: If I use an embedded unicode font in a textfield and set embedFonts = true when displaying characters like mandarin or IPA phonetic spelling characters, certain characters will disapear from the textfield.

I'm noticing that my embedded font is not properly displaying when I browse to certain portions of my site with my other office pc's. The "about me" section of [URL] in particular. What's confusing is that the other portions of the site do display the font properly!?! I've uploaded the original .fla file to the server for anyone that's really interested in helping. It can be downloaded at [URL]
View 2 RepliesNot sure how to describe this issue, but I only get it in Firefox and not any other browser. When clicking around, the page sometimes blows up with the attached pic. Sometimes it has even more characters than that, and you can see things like LAME encoder referenced. Anyone know what the deal is? All site caching is disabled. I am no pro with flash so I don't know what is causing this. I am using the Boutell XSPF player due to its support of Autoresume, if that helps. I added it to the list of players, and have the flash embed code in a block. I am achieving this using the Drupal Audio module and submodules supporting it.
