I've noticed that AS3 doesn't seem to contain a way of defining a minimum amount of characters required but does have a maximum. Any way to do this with a textfield?

i'm having a bit of an issue with a multilanguage little flash chatprogram. It has a input textfield, the right fontdata and characters are embedded, but slovenian users can't input some chars Although it works when they copy/paste text into the inputfield, then the characters show and all seems well. But actually typing them seems to fail. So i know it's not the infamous wmode bug.

View 2 RepliesI have a textfiled (input type) which works with English lang. If I change to different locale in the system tray I am not able to write any text into the textfiled.
How can I enable this capabilty to the TextField or this is connected with locale/Language support in the swf?
I am trying to figure out why some letters (like the norwegian Å (Å)) are cutted out in the middle of the top "o":
My code is this:
var titleFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
titleFormat.size = textSize;
// this is embedded font, and exported for action script, declared
titleFormat.font = myFontBold.fontName;
titleFormat.bold = true;
[Code] .....
So, I have tried different things like setting height hardcoded and bigger than text, but top us cutted again, I have tried with css but no success. Why the letter is not showed fully and why if I zoom in the swf (2-3 zoom ins) it shows up normal (and what i try to achieve) like this: I think it has to do with the topMargin, but unfortunately I didn't find something like that in as3 documentation.
We got some complaints from users not being able to type in certain chars like '@' and '.' in an input field (textfield). The Textfield is an input field type:
Font embedding seems fine (all needed chars are selected + '@' and '.')
Textfield restrict property is set: "a-zA-Z0-9@.\_\-"
Still some users complain not being able to type a '@' or '.' I've googled and searched the forum and the only thing I've found that could cause this was the wmode = 'opaque' property. We need to set this property to show up Facebook Connect windows. Otherwise these windows would get behind the Flash object in the HTML page. Another reason could be related to the regional settings of the keyboard, which might be faulty interpreted by Flash. Or could it simply be related to a faulty restrict (regex) property?
using a one line TextField with a fixed width that display text from the keyboard. I'd like that when the display text become greater, it aligns itself on the right, and let appear all the new characters, making the left ones disappearing. That is to say, it slides from right to left, letting always the right part of the text visible. I've tried using the "align" property of TextFormat set to "right", but it doesn't work (it just good to align a paragraph), and cut my text.
View 2 RepliesI have a project where I need to show a TextField with a monetary ammount
var tf:TextField = new TextField()
tf.htmlText = "<font size="30">1</font>99";
This will show the 99 cents as subscript. How do I show this as superscript?
It's important that I display this in the same textfield so I don't have to worry about 2,3, or 4 digit dollar values or values with no cents. The alignment will be a lot of work. I googled the GG Superscript fonts but because this is dealing with localization, I need to use device fonts rather thatn embedded. Also size is priority so embedding fonts is something that is not really an option.
Just wondering if anyone knew a simple way of first counting the amount of characters in a single line dynamic textbox with AS?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to set left and right margins in textfield to be a certain amount of inches. How can I do this if the margin can only be set in pixels?
Won't it change whenever the resolution change?
I want the textfield in the application to be exported as a document file and printed. Is there anyway to set the margins that they are always the same no matter what computer or resolution it is on?
I have been having a serious issue with custom video where flash is saying that the amount of the video so far played is MORE than the amount that it has downloaded, which is clearly impossible. This results in various problems, such as the playhead (scrubber) moving past the end of the loader bar. I posted a simple demo that displays the amount loaded and the amount played in text fields. You can see it at: [URL][Code]...

This results in various problems, such as the playhead (scrubber) moving past the end of the loader bar.I posted a simple demo that displays the amount loaded and the amount played in text fields. You can see it at: URL...[code]I encoded the video at a high rate so that it would download slowly. It may not playback smoothly, which I am not concerned about. What I am concerned about is the numbers below the video what are derived from ns.bytesLoaded and ns.time. If you watch it for a bit, the amount played should exceed the amount loaded.
I double checked the video duration and the bytestotal that flash is reporting and they are correct. I don't know of any way to check the accuracy of bytesloaded.If your internet connection is super fast, you may not see the issue - it only occurs when it is playing back faster than it is downloading - if this is the case, you may need to throttle your speed down, or start downloading a large file while you are watching this demo in order to see the issue.But this is a serious issue and means that building custom video interfaces with loadbars and playheads is impossible!
Basically I am using UTF-8 characters codes u0000 to u0008 as part of a socket server.I need a little regex pattern to replace these chars with somthing like a $ symbol to make them really obvious (while tracing output etc..).I believe it should be something like:
Code:
filter:RegExp = new RegExp("[u0000u0001u0002u00..]");
myNewString = myString.replace(filter, "%")
i have tons of input textfields (over 100) and i want to exclude some chars like '&' from them is there an easy way to set it so that all textfields wont use the chars i want to exclude?or do i accualy have to set them all manualy to not use them?
View 5 RepliesI'm working on my own buttons. It uses a dynamic TextField, and there's an issue that I can't figure out.
Used font is Lucida Sans Unicode, I exported this to the library, checking "Export for Actionscript..." in dialog window when exporting. Unfortunately, this exported font doesn't display my national chars - I'm from Poland and need letters like "ł" or "ś". They are in this font, but became unavailable after export.
Button photo (prepared "manually" before, looks the same, but text is without "ł"):
My code:
protected function prepareShape():void {
isActive = false;
bgMatrix = new Matrix();

I'm running a flash game on asp.net frame. The flash is sending parameters to some asp.net page that save those parameters to a database. My problem is that if the parametrs contain special chars (Russian, Arabic...) then those chars are transform to question marks (?) I've tried to urldecode the parameters but without
The parameters that sent from the Flash are in unicode format and are urlencoded.
The asp.net code is:
string pp4 = "";
if (Request.Form["param4"] != null) { pp4 = Server.UrlDecode(Request.Form["param4"]); }

I'm using FLASH form embedded into html which use utf8 charset to send variables and image to php script which saves them mysql.
In flash I do use fileupload method,
var loc:*=new flash.net.URLRequest("http://url.com/code.php?s=1&name=" + vardas.text + "&email=" + email.text);
fileHandler.upload(loc);
The problem is that when I open and fill up form in INTERNET EXPLORER, i receive not UTF-8 variables in php, but if I use CHROME or FIREFOX, i get them right.
Is there a difference how IE and other browsers send data? Or do I have to somehow encode variables in action script?
url in IE not supporting chars like č while CHROME AND FF DOES?
I have to validate a textfield in AS3 if there are chars like # $ % @ ~ | {} [] / etc. i.e find unnecessary chars and remove them from the textfield. I use a search AS3 function which works with regular expressions, I would like a regular expression so that a search function searches the characters above and if it finds any of them then returns true.

View 1 RepliesI have a variable with the value "_level0.store.1" ... is there any function in flash with which i can just take the 15th character and remove everything that is before the "1" --> basically i'd like to use "1" to read that position from an array... therefore i want something that:
from: _root.nodeFrom = this --> returns "_level0.store.1"
I would get:
positioninArray = 1

View 4 Replies my text was working fine before, but for some reason now it's displaying weird characters. For example the accented vowels in spanish firefox will let me type but google chrome won't. It's like all my keys are mismatched or something.When I try to type Thai, musical notes were showing up in it's place! But it's only for this one swf. I created a brand new swf with an input box and typed thai/spanish and it worked fine, it's only for this already existing file. I have no idea where I can even look to solve such a problem. Is it a publishing setting? Could it be the flash settings in the html?
Where do I look that would effect the keyboards input like this? It worked fine before and I haven't been playing with the text at all. I recently added external interface then commented it out and still doesn't work. The font is _sans which usually displays every language fine.

View 1 RepliesI'm sending an xml file from flash to php, so php can save it to the servers filesystem.It works great, except when there's a node with a special char like a quote in it.My actionscript code is like this:
Code:
xmlExport.xmlDecl = "xml=";
xmlExport.sendAndLoad("xmlexport.php", xmlExportStatus);
And my php code is like this:
PHP Code:
fwrite($handle,stripslashes(urldecode($_POST['xml'])));
Both somewhat simplified, but this is what matters I think.I'm not sure about the urldecode part, but I've got this problem always, no matter if I use it or not.I've traced the xml object, and I see that the quote is converted to ' then. That's great, but when php writes it, it stops there, so I end with only half of an xml file.

I tried these browsers on Mac: Safari, Firefox, Omniweb, Opera. And it works like a charm for them. The bug is only on Google Chrome Mac.
I also tried on Windows with IE6, IE7, Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome. No bug either for them on Windows.
I've read on the Internet other people on Linux have the same bug sometimes (again, it's just for a couple of browsers and never all the browsers on their platform). I hope I don't have to tell my users to trick with their OS configuration. It's our job to make our apps to fit the visitor, not theirs!
A special configuration to do (compatibility mode with older Flash version 8, 9, something like that?)...
