View 1 RepliesI currently have text fields that read data in from an xml file. Previously i used default font (times new roman) and the punctuation displayed fine. I have since tried to move to Arial (textformat.font = "Arial" and setting embed font to true in the txtboxes) which does not display any punctuation. Is there a function to allow this or is it more complex?

View 2 RepliesIf I make a text box inside a fla, then publish, the swf size will be KB.But if I use character embedding in the text box, and embed Chinese, then the swf size will be MB.Is there a way to use a shared library to do the character embedding? BTW, the text box need to be changed at runtime.
View 1 RepliesThis is a rather advanced problem but apparently I'm not the only one having it.So far I've been using external font loading in all my projects. A Tahoma.swf with a Tahoma Font library item and basically two lines of code:ActionScript Code:import flash.text.Font;Font.registerFont(TahomaSmooth);As soon as I load the font in my application it's ready for use. This is Jesse Freeman's method, in case it looks familiar.The problem is Flash CS4 doesn't embed polish fonts. And clients dnt lke t read tet that hs mssng chrcters. Unfortunately for anyone who isn't english Adobe didn't forsee that people might actually want to specify the character set when embeding Fonts. This strikes me as odd, as supposedly the whole font was supposed to be imported, at least that's how it originally worked, AFAIK.
View 9 RepliesI installed CS5 and opened an old .fla which did not embed the Arial font because everyone has it already. Mostly it is used for user-entered and dynamic content.However, CS5 is auto-embedding the few characters I use in Arial, and all of the other characters are no longer showing up in the swf file.The only fix seems to be embedding the entire Arial font in the movie, which is too large since I want to be able to support all kinds of characters.Is there a way to turn off auto-font embedding?This feature seems well-intentioned but critically flawed if it can't be turned off.
View 1 RepliesI'm building a project that has a character navigate through a room by clicking on the floor. Right now, the walls, character, and floor are all children of the same display object for sorting purposes. My question: is there a way to disable mouse clicks to the walls and character while allowing clicks to the floor? Using mouseChildren appears to be an all or nothing deal and I can't seem to isolate individual floor/wall/character objects for use with mouseEnabled.
View 4 RepliesI tried searching the forum and web on this, and I'm sure it's out there somewhere, but couldn't find it. I thought I was done with my project today- and at the nth hour, right before it was time to go home, sigh, - I realized that for some reason, neither the numbers or punctuation were showing up in dynamic text that was being pulled in via XML. Anyone know this one? I'm an XML dummy.
View 2 RepliesIn my flash application I am using a typewriter effect, to make it seem as if text is written on the fly. When I do so, my punctuation marks (question mark, dot, ect.) get aligned to the wrong direction (to the right). I am writing in Hebrew (right-to-left).
View 1 RepliesI'm having a strange problem with regexps. I have several sentences that I want to break up into individual words without punctuation. I also want each punctuation mark as a separate element in the array. I used some code from the ActionScript 3.0 cookbook to create the following code:
[Code]...
i have 10 sentences i am importing into flash from xml. here is a sample:
[Code]...
what i really want is the punctuation put into its own array. i strip c like this: Code: var strings = c.split(" "); and of course that places every character into the array and the last character is "legs!". for other purposes i need to split it in every character but how can i now separate the punctuation (in order) so i can recall it later.
I'm fairly new to Flash (over the last few months I have followed Actionscripting in books and online tutorials and can do basics by essentially following the recipes, but am having considerably more problems putting it all together for my own program).
I am trying to create a program for my students that will take their text input in fields like author, title, publisher, date, place of publication, etc. and output bibliography citations in the proper format (complete with punctuation). What is the best way to handle the text formatting to add punctuation and make the citation entries? Your text tutorial on color and other properties is very good, as well as the input text that returns the words, but how do I go one more step to add my punctuation to the user's input?

I am rendering html in a Flex 3.x UITextField. The problem I am facing now is that when punctuation is at the end of a word, it can sometimes be wrapped to the next line.
For example:
That which doesn't kill me makes me stronger ,so I became a developer.
This seems like a bug in the algorithm to me. Is there a workaround?
I've got a textfield with a bunch of punctuation which is always surrounded by spaces. So that for instance: I don't recall saying 'pick up the boot' or 'now is the time'. But it's possible , so I may have. What is the regular expression syntax to get rid of these spaces? I'm working in actionscript. It's actually both leading and trailing, as you can see from the above example.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a fill-in-the-blank quiz in AS 2.0 and would like to make the comparison between the correct and submitted answer a little less harsh during the comparison. The quiz actually consists of memorizing a sentence or two from say a poem and I'd like to not include any errors of punctuation due to a misplaced or missed comma, exclamation pt or period. as long as the spelling is good then the user should get the correct answer. Below is a little snippet:

I have a 9 frames image of a character.In other language generally i used to make character animation by looping the array consisting of different frames and drawing each frame when pressing key.What i want to do is when i press left or right key, i want to draw each frame that makes character movement and update x coordinates of frames, and it will appear as character is moving.

i was wondering if any of you out there could tell me how it is possible to make a movieclip of a character and when the character is dragged about the screen by the curser, how do you make the characters arms and legs swing about in a realistic fashion.
View 2 RepliesI would like my character to move as if he was drunk I am unsure how to do that I am using the keyboard for his movement. I also have a character that moves at random I would like the drunk moving character to be able to catch this character and play a scene from within the drunk characters movie clip but I want this character to try and escape the idea is the drunk character gets points for how long he is able to hang on to this character

replaceAll("\p{Punct}", "_")
Is there something similar in actionscript?

I'm interested in embedding a video into my swf file automatically. Therefore, I managed embedding an flv file onto the stage, but the problem is that after I give the embedded video an instance name and refer to the instance in a command (f.e change x,y coordinates or change width/height), on execution of the swf, the video stays frozen while the audio plays. If I don't refer to the embedded video instance, the video plays normally, just not placed correctly on the stage.

I have an AS2.0 scripted flash that behaves perfectly when not embedded, but then erratically when embedded. It is a dynamic masked mc with a mouseListener.event so that the magnifying glass follows the mouse as does the invisible mask and you get a magnifying glass effect. All is well outdie the HTML, but once embedded the mouse only erratically attracts the lens mc

I am trying to embed font in CS3. The chinese text is visible on local desktop but not on remote desktop. Below are the steps that I have followed.
* created a new font in Library and given a linkage name to it. [Tried with Arial UniCode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode]
* Given this font name to textField on stage.
* Registered this new font.
* enumerated the font in an array.Later assigned this font name to Font instance.
* Used FontInstance.fontName as textFormat's font and applied this textformat as defaultTextFormat.
* Assigned chinese hardcoded text.
I tried with textFieldName.embedFont=true, but it didn't. This swf shows chinese text on local desktop. But same swf when viewed from a remote desktop, chinese text appears as squares. Let me know if I am missing any step.
Hey there. I'm very new to Flash CS3. I understand the basic concept of the timeline. I'm not a programmer and I just want to create a FLASH movie that has video with audio and some text animation that I can add to my website. I have successfully created some very simple flash movies without video. My problem is that when I embed an AVI file the audio quality degrades so much that it's unusable. The full length of the viedo is about 9 minutes. It was professionally shot in studio and when I play the AVI file it is fine. I tried chunking up the video into 3 minute segments but that still didn't fix the audio quality. I then separated the audio from the video in Pinnacle Studio and then embedded the video into the timeline and added the audio, and now I can't sync up the audio with the video.
