I've imported a font as a font symbol. In its linkage I selected export for actionscript.This works for my dynamic text. However I've noticed that not all characters are embedded.See attached example.On top I've got a static textfield with the following text:â–ª Some text with a square in front of itAt the bottom a dynamic textfield with the following code:
Code:
mytext.html = true;
mytext.embedFonts = true;
[code].......
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 RepliesSince I only need numbers, can I limit dynamically embedded fonts to only numerals, periods, dashes and special characters copied from the character map?
View 5 RepliesI have an input textfield nested inside a movieclip, i embedded a set of characters but when i run the movie i can still input characters that were not part of the embedding list. The input text field has both an instance name and variable name. If i copy that text field into an empty fla file, it works correctly by not allowing character inputs that were not embedded.
View 1 RepliesMy 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.

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'd like to gain read only access to the following parameters of embedded Flash videos located on sites that I do not own through my own custom browser extension/add-on:
Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?
Would I have to use something like the SWFObject Javascript API [URL]

I have an embedded font in my AIR/AS3 app that lacks support for most internationalcharacters. Using TextField and StyleSheet with the font-family property, I assumed I would simply need to do this:font-family: Interstate-Regular, _sans;This works if TextField.embedFonts = false; but then Interstate-Regular isn't embedded for users that don't have it on their system. With TextField.embedFonts = true; the text doesn't even show up. Is there a way to embed Interstate-Regular and still use _sans as a fallback system font without embedding it as well?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a embedded language that can be used to script common code between a server app written in C# and a client app written in Flash/Actionscript. It is important that the embedded language interpreter run natively in the environment it is embedded into. For example, it cannot load any external C libraries (i.e. python, neko).
Does such a thing exist for these two languages? Perhaps there is some minimal interpreter that could be easily ported to both?
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
View 2 RepliesI've been searching all morning for this solution and can't find any. The closest one is this:[URL]..But it won't work for me. I have an XML that has some characters in Chinese, I can use any of these (one with the characters directly there, and the other with the characters in html)[URL]..The problem is that I can't display the characters on a Flash dynamic text box..
I have tried with sans font, trbuchet, tahoma, all embeding all of the chinese options...
System.usecodePage true and false, and nothing... html enabled and disabled...
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.

View 1 RepliesI 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?
I have this regular expression to get urls:
(((ht|f)tp(s?))://)?(www.|[a-zA-Z].)[a-zA-Z0-9-.]+.(com|edu|gov|mil|net|org|biz|info|name|museum|us|ca|uk)(:[0-9]+)*(/($|[a-zA-Z0-9.,;?'+&%$#=~_-]+))*
And I want to modify it so that when I call to make an array of the matched strings it will get everything before it as well.
I has problem displaying T with a comma under it and S with a comma under it.
I've tried to send it encoded as UTF-8, ISO-8859-1/2 but it does not display in flash.
The PHP script creates the XML with DOMDocument class.[URL]... I need to find a way to display these characters.
I have a dynamic textbox in flash called vt. It has attached to it the following in a class file:
vt.text = xml.video.@vt[cv];
and pulls the information from an XML File:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<playlist>
<video src='videos/video1.flv' vt='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'/>
</playlist>
Now for some reason only the letters a d g i l n o will actually display when tested with all the alphabet above.
UPDATE: Solved - Just needed to change the textbox AA to Use Device Fonts :) (New user cant answer my own question)
How do I remove the last 4 characters in a string?

I think some of the characters causing the problem. How to fix this problem?
I am looking for a way to escape utf-8 charachters using actionscript 2? As far as I know, in flash it uses utf-16 while on javascript it uses utf-8. I am looking for a similar escaping method.

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 last 4 characters of a string? (The given string could be any length)
