I've written some code that takes user input and adds it to some other static text which is then sent to php to be written to a text file. The file is just plain text but has the .xml extension so it can be used as a source of data. Because of the XML content the text has to contain quotes so I am looking for ways to escape the double quote characters with " or using the alternative method of using a mixture of double and single quotes to differentiate content I want in the text file and the quotes that define the boundary of the text string. The code is working but the resultant XML looks wrong, with double quotes being written as " even though I used the double/single quote method, so I'm a bit baffled why this is happening. Here's my code:
[Code]...
All the double quotes are being written as " which is the escape character instead of the actual character - anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?
I've got some text coming in from a database. I get:
' " " instead of single and double quotes.
I'm not sure that all fonts even support left and right double quotation marks (?).
at any rate... is there a relatively simple way to resolve this? maybe scanning the strings for the character entities and replacing them with single or double quotes?
does anyone know if Flash can recognize the ASCII entity number (e.g. ') more readily than the ASCII entity name (e.g. &rsquo?? That may be a moot point as i would have to somehow convert/replace with the entity number anyways..
I'm trying to read some data in from a sql source, some of which contains double quotes embedded in the text. I know I can strip the doublequotes, but don't want to go that route if I can avoid it. I've tried replacing to double quotes with hex codes before passing the text via parameter to my flash file, but the text string always cuts off at the hex code, the same as if the double quote were present in the string. For example:This is a "text" stringreplace double quotes with hex: This is a x22textx22 stringesults when read into flash: This is a <remainder is dropped>Yet if I type the same text string in a variable in flash, the string displays the double quotes properly:

View 1 RepliesI'm bringing in data from .csv file as a string and then slicing it up into and array so I can apply the values to some text fields. For whatever reason it is starting and ending the string with which as we know is the new line character in as3, I would like to remove these from the string but I'm not really sure what the code is to target them.

I am trying to trace a fairly large 2d array (many thousands of elements) to copy in some other code. The code obviously takes a while to run but this doesn't matter to me since it's a one time thing. I used to be able to do this no problem in Flash CS5, but now Flash is truncating the text somewhere in the middle so I don't see all of it. Is there a way to disable this?
View 0 RepliesI use a rather big font size and the bottom of some characters is truncated ("g" for example, or any character going under the baseline):
I first thought it was a problem with the component height, but even with a very large height the characters got truncated, with big empty spaces above and under the text. I looked for a solution on the net but did not find one. Worst: I was not able to find references to my problem though it seems to be an important one. Is there a CSS property to prevent this behavior or do I have to look elsewhere?
edit: I use Flex 3 and Halo/MX components

View 1 RepliesI am scripting a button and something like this: _root.READ = ("image6"); takes me exactly where I want, the frame labeled "image6" However i want to reuse this button and I want to switch it to something like: _root.READ = (trace(this._name)); where it calls upon the instance name (image6). However, this doesn't work, and I believe it's because there are no quotes around the word. Is there someway I can output what the trace calls and put it in quotes?

Right now if I try to include some long strings that have quote marks or other characters that could have some sort of meaning in the code, then it tends to interpret it as code rather than a string. Anything I can do?

I have a CSV file that's being imported by users. I'm casting it to a string and splitting it up into an array using the line ending. The issue is, inside the quotes may be a line ending that I need to ignore. The RegExp I'm using to split the string is..
private var _newLine:RegExp = /[
]|[
]/;

I'm helping w/ the website at our church and came across the "Flash Random Quotes" tutorial here on kirupa.com at:url..How can I do something like this, but I want the quotes to randomly display about every 10 seconds, as long as the page is open.I don't want to only have one, single random quote on page load.I'm tasked to have a random display of ongoing "testimonies" on our church website. Right now, I'm using jquery, but it's quirky (as you can see below), but the worst thing is, it isn't random - it loads the testimonies in order that they are listed in the sidebar.php file. So, everybody that visits reads the same few testimonies at the beginning, and doesn't see the other ones.I'd rather try and use Flash to pull random testimonies from the quotes file ... but I don't want it to only show one ... I want it to show a random testimony, then about 10 seconds later, show another random one, etc.
View 1 RepliesSo on my scene is one button and a movie clip.
and so far i have it that when you click the button the movie clip plays and the cookie breaks and the fortune animates out.
my question, is their a way to generate random quotes or "fortunes" every time you play the movie clip. like can their be dynamic text inside the movie clip that randomly picks one of the fortune to display?
I though this would work but unfortunately I am not pulling the txt files into the field.
It is definitley giving me random feedback.

View 14 RepliesSo i want to make a form which people can use to get price quotes immediately. There will be about 15 fields. I have 'some' clue as to how this 'might' be done. The 'if' statement could be used. But that sounds like a lot of combinations and a lot of scripting. I would also like them to be able to send the form to my email if they want.
Now i know how to script the basic forms.. eg. contact forms.. etc. with php and all. So once they've selected specific info from the fields, i'm sure i can have it sent into my inbox. But I don't get how to do the main thing (the price quote display - according to the information selected). Will it have to be XML based? Something to do with a database? Or what?
I need to load in a large CSV file (>1MB) and parse it. Generally this is quite easy to do by splitting first on linebreaks and then commas. The problem is though that some entries contain Strings that include their own commas. When this spreadsheet is converted to CSV, the lines containing commas are wrapped in quotes.
I've written a parser that first escapes all the commas in these strings, then splits it on linebreaks and then commas, and then unescapes the values again.
This is quite a slow process for such a long string, as I need to iterate through the whole string. Does anyone know a faster or more optimised method of dealing with this?
