View 11 Replies
I am aware of the built-in 'Strings' panel within the Flash IDE, however is this the best way to go about creating a multi-lingual AS3 site/application nowadays?Are there any recommended 3rd party APIs/frameworks available? Ideally I'd like to be able to change language on the fly and support as many character sets as possible, I will also be dealing with both static and dynamic text content.
View 6 RepliesI need a good multi language flash chart for my company's portal, can you recommend one? Already have tried fusion-charts, amCharts, and also OpenChart - But they are not supporting right-to-left, and the API is not simple (they require a complex XML).
Requirements:
good looking
easy to implement (simple api)
customizable
well documented
not expensive
I have several screens for flash and these screen have so many dynamic texts. We need to support these texts in different languages like "Spanish", French and English.

View 1 RepliesI'm new here and I'm new to AS(3). I'm trying to make a multi-language website with XML. Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
[Code]...
It works, as long as I put it on the timeline. The only problem then is that I can't change the language when I'm on frame 2. Someone advised me to put it in an extern AS file, but when I do that I get the following error:5006: An ActionScript file can not have more than one externally visible definition: xmlData, xmlLoader I don't really know what that means, I hope somebody can help me out.
Also I'd like to know if this is the best way to make a multi-language website in Flash?
I need to change language in a flash site, How can i change?.for example I want to change total language into Fracis in this site
View 1 RepliesWell, there is a huge debate going on with the "best way to show users language selection", but no answer.All seem to suck. 2 and 3 suffering from "Country != Language", 1 and 4 suffering from "Cognitively, selecting a word out of a list of words sucks."While this question may seem subjective, it is possible to answer this question in a non-subjective way.Such as if Flex or some Flex component exists as a "Language Chooser" such as that found on a mobile device.
View 2 RepliesI have a static, UTF-8 encoded XML document that gets loaded by a custom movie clip class into an array and then items from the array are read and displayed in a dynamic text field that is attached to the movie clip,depending on which one is rolled over.Everything works perfectly except that an ampersand displays as & apostrophes display as ' and quotes display as ", even if I use the special character inside the XML.Higher level character codes actually display properly, so character codes for circle shaped bullets,registered trade mark symbol, Greek characters, etc, work! But a blessed ampersand does not.Setting the dynamic text field to either read as HTML or not read as HTML makes no difference.
Using CDATA tags in the XML makes no difference.In fact,when I use CDATA tags and enclose text containing a special character code, Flash goes the extra step of converting the ampersand in the special character code to &!! So" becomes "Using & just gets converted to &.So Flash's XML parser is parsing the & to an ampersand,which Flash's text parser then converts to &. WHY? And how do I stop it?
I found the function below to clean out the unwanted characters,and it works,but it seems a ridulous length to go to.And I probably have to extend it to accomodate whatever other characters don't work in Flash, but I don't know what those might be until I encounter them. Also,the function works whether I use a special character in the XML or not. ie, if I put an actual "&" into the XML, this function will display "&" and if I put & into the XML,it will still display as "&".

As you can see i have categories and inside the categories I have the pictures. What I want to do is every category to be displayed with a lower y position than the previous category. And in every category the picture to be arrange in the way presented in the picture below (x position for images = 0, the picture is just to make an idea).[URL]
My as3 code looks like this:

I have a webpage which is served as UTF-8 and has the following meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
I have an swf on the page which has some textfields on it each of which are just using arial for their font and no embedded fonts.
Now when someone types an @ into one of the textfields the " character is displayed instead, I thought this would be because my browser is set to ISO-8859-1 character encoding, but changing it UTF-8 and refreshing makes no difference.
I've been making a game in ActionScript 2.0 Flash CS3. Now I want to be able to display my characters alpha using dynamic text. The instance name for the character is char and the Var for the dynamic text is alpha. I want to be able to display the characters alpha and ALSO the characters current alpha in other levels for example.
Variable for lives in level 1:
_root.lives = 5;
Variable for lives in level 2:
_root.currentlives = lives;
I want to be able to do the exact thing but display the 'char' alpha instead.
I've created a flash website and have split it up into different swfs and have added pre loaders so it loads more cleanly. When I preview the site the links open up the external swfs no problem, but once the site it uploaded the swfs don't load, it appears that the main movie restarts insted of the external swfs (only the contact button works because it's part of the main movie).The 4 buttons at the bottom of the main page go to frames with the follwing or similar action script
designplay.loadMovie("design.swf");
This frame also contains the clip (designplay) which the design.swf should load into. It appears the issue is with the paths, I've spent a long time trying to fix this and just can't get it.

Is there a way to stop my site being cached. Every time you refresh the page or revisit it the countdown on it reverts to the time it was when you first visited it.
View 9 RepliesI am at a loss as to why Firefox doesn't load right when it's loading from cache.
In my site, there are images that get loaded from an XML file immediately as a visitor enters the site. This loading starts and completes naturally when loading from a server... OR when I have the images loaded into cache and I navigate to the site with the browser's forward or back button. -It doesn't work when I press the browser's reload button. What gives? Is this a Firefox bug? I have Firefox 3.5.2 for Mac.
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.

It can be downloaded at [URL]
View 2 Repliesi'm trying to display this character "<" from an external txt file. Some how it doesnt work. I know that for some characters you have to change the code, examples if you want to display "+" you have to change it to %2b. I read in adobe.com that for "<" you have to change it %3c, and yet it doesnt work.

View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash CS3 with Actionscript 3, and I need to have a scripting language that the user can use. If they could type in their own actionscript and have it evaluated, that would be perfect. Another scripting language such as Lua would be fine too. I looked into lua alchemy, but it seems poorly supported so I'd rather not use that. The Eval command from actionscript 2 isn't available in as3, and some of the things I've heard indicate that it's functionality is pretty limited, although I've never used it before.
View 1 RepliesWhat method or process do I use to set an iOS app to only one language?I recently had an iPad app written in Flash CS5.5 approved at the iTunes app store. I noticed at the iTunes store, it indicates that my app is localized in 14 different languages. I never set this up; it seems that there is a process that automatically adds several default language localizations to the ipa binary when the file is published. I tried the strings panel, used a var to set the localID, went into the SDK for flex and flash builder and deleted the locales (could not find anything similar for Flash itself), but none of this seems to prevent Flash from adding the language defaults. I have found many examples on how to localize my app for several languages, but nothing on how to set it to only one.
View 3 RepliesI have created a actionscript with Capabilities function It works good, but I want to ad a If else statement on the capabilities for language.I'm running in English so the capabilities shows " EN ", but I want the if else statement to change " EN " to = English, and if we are running in different language it would say " Other language"
This is what i have at the moment.
var versionString = Capabilities.language;
var label2:TextField = createCustomTextField(0, 60, 200, 20);
label2.text = "language: " + Capabilities.language;
how to use the if and else statement ?
this is the URL of the language reference website I have been using for Flash/AIR: [URL]Is this URL the correct one I should be using when I need to look up a class or method or property or something like that? Because it does not match up with what actually shows up in the Flash IDE when I type an import statement. Most of the packages match up but not all.
For instance, the reference URL has a fl.events package, and so do I locally, but my package seems to be missing lots of classes from it that the reference URL shows. This leads me to believe I don't have the latest SDK's or SWC's or whatever I need installed, whether they be Flash, Flex, Air, etc.Also, I have a few packages locally that don't show up in the reference URL. Things like "flash.debugger" and "flash.trace", they are not my custom classes, not sure where they came from.
Lastly, there are certain AIR classes missing, and I'm sure this is because I don't have the latest AIR SDK installed. I did find it and download it, just not sure how to download it.
1) Is the above URL the one I should be using? If not, is there a better definitive location for Flash/AIR language reference that is updated and always has the latest and greatest info?
2) I have the latest AIR sdk on my desktop, how do I install it? (I'm using Flash CS5 on Mac OSX 10.6)
3) How can I make sure that what I see in that reference URL is what shows up in my code hinting when I type import statements in the Actions Panel? Basically I just want to make sure I am all up to date so everything is showing and working the way it should be. For instance, I am missing a ton of fl classes (containers, controls, core, data, etc.) I want to get these in place so my local copies are synchronized as close as possible with the reference. Documentation doesn't help much when you don't have the tools it tells you to use...
4) Take the fl.ik package for instance. Locally, I have available all the classes in the reference URL that I should, plus a bunch more that aren't there.
I have one issue that i have one game in Russian language, and I want to change it in English so anyone can give me the easiest and informative solution to convert it in English.... or Can we use language interpreter in Flash?
