I've many unicode russian (cyrillic) fonts installed on my mac. When i type message like "T" type-tool - they show russian letters. When i embed it in Library like Font class, 50% of my fonts doesn't show russian letters.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a mulitlingual site that has banners loading the text from an external xml file. The file I'm working on uses actionscript 2 and flash player 8. I'm using the font Avant Garde Gothic, which has all the glyphs needed.
I'm creating the text fields in the banners dynamically in as2, and then embed my font to a text format which is applied to the text field. This works great for Polish, Danish, Swedish etc. languages that just contain a few characters beyond the basic latin alphabet. But for Bulgarian, which uses the cyrillic alphabet, no text is displayed. This is my problem.
I've found that when I create my text field manually, using flash's gui, and embed the cyrillic glyphs manually it works fine, which shows that there's nothing wrong with my font. However, I can't use this method for my project. I've found that the only fonts that display cyrillic characters when being embedded through actionscript are fonts that are mainly cyrillic (but also contain a set of latin glyphs and some other basic stuff). It seems to me that flash only embeds a limited number of glyphs when calling the embedFont method and that the cyrillic glyphs are not prioritized here. Is this assumption correct?Is there anyway I can affect which gyphs are embedded using flash 8? I've read that Flex can be used for this but Flex requires flash player 9, doesn't it?
I have to make menu that will be used by cms. The problem is that the dynamic created textfields does not dosplay the cyrillic font. Now the menu is something like this: [URL] This is the menu with all the classes and some comments. If you don't want to download it... [URL] this is the class for creating textfield. In the library I got font named bab_font . The font has cyrillic gyphs in it (use Tahoma for example)
[URL] this is the class for the buttons , it is commented (it was in late night, sorry for the bad english) Everything works in english, just doesn't display letters in cyrllic (example) First friend of my suggested to make text on the stage, containg cyrillic letters, but this doesn't work.
I wrote an application in flash AS3, and when I trace from flash the total memory usage of the total application is only about 9MB, But at the same time Task Manager Shows the memory usage as 110MB. Around 100MB difference.Flash Trace Method System.totalMemory difference of the Trace from the Beginning of the application to end of the application.
View 2 RepliesI am creating a swf for use on a Russian website. I have search box that the customer enters there search term which I then concatenate to the URL string in the getURL method.
When i use western characters this work fine but when i use cyrillic characters it breaks.
Does anyone know a way round this?
Or a way to output the characters using UTF-8?
I have quite a big issue with regards to bold / italic Verdana fonts in dynamic text boxes in flash with Russian characters.I've tried everything now that I can think of and read various posts but nothing is shouting out at me for what to do next.I have uploaded a tiny flash file for this one..http:[url].....Here's what I have done so far:
- I have embedded the character sets using the "embed" button.
- I have also added the fonts in my library
- I have also edited the linkage in the library to export for actionscript.
This worked perfectly, until translation came into play. Spanish, German, French characters, all work fine.Russian (Cyrillic) however will not work in bold or italic.If you change the Russian text for English it works fine on both.I have attached 2 files one called bold the other called normal.Both exactly the same however one has bold set as true in the actionscript.
I have everything done to load a text from an XML file in my flash movie, but it shows the text only if it is written in EN i want to type the text in the XML file in Cyrillic but flash doesnt want to read it... I tried to change the Embed Characters of my text field but it still doesn't want to read it. I have added this to my XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> and still the same thing.

Does anyone know what I need to do to get a flex text control to display cyrillic characters for example. [wvxvw? hebrew?] In addtion to the main .swf (.mxml) file there are font libraries loaded that are also in a seperate .swf The text control is subclassed from Flex.Text and in a seperated .AS file. Then to top it, the actual text in cyrillic is coming from an .xml file.I've tried "<?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8' " in the main .mxml file and the xml file. I believe I've put Byte Order Marks (BOM's) for utf-8 in the .AS file and maybe some of the other files. I've compiled everything with specifying the utf-8 encoding as well. I get nothing where the characters are supposed to be.

View 0 RepliesI save my (embedded) fonts in an external file (fonts.swf) that gets loaded at runtime. Pretty standard. I also use a bunch of UI artwork generated in the Flash IDE. Some of this artwork contains static textfields (thus, not proper TextFields that can change. Just frozen glyphs). Here's the problem: if I use the same font in any static textfield and then embed that same font into my collection of runtime fonts, the runtime font will refuse to render. It's the same effect you get if you set a textfield with embeddedFonts=true to use a font that isn't embedded. If I change the static textfields to use a different font, the runtime fonts work just fine.

Edited Short Version:The Adobe Flash docs list a property embedFonts on TextAreas:
A Boolean value that indicates whether the font specified in fontFamily is an embedded font. This style must be set to true if fontFamily refers to an embedded font. Otherwise, the embedded font is not used. If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed. The default value is false. Regarding the "If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed" statement: How can I detect in ActionScript when this scenario happens?
TL;DR Original Version: I have a flash application which loads external .swf files containing embedded fonts, so that these fonts can be used within the main application. We're accomplishing this by using the following ActionScript code on anything which uses custom fonts:
[Code]...
Right I can upload the font to the server.But the only examples I can find - require registerFont(Verdana);Which means I'll need to create a new SWF with the new font embedded and reupload to the server. I need an automated way of doing this or perhaps something different altogether?
View 2 RepliesI'm using Agile Uploader in my project to resize image before upload on client side.And it works fine except one thing: if image name contains cyrillic letters it fails with server error 500.
How to avoid this or if needed how to rename file with english letters "on fly" (possibly with javascript).
I've recently had to format my computer and now having a problem with the flash actionscript window: the actionscript text looks like bold, or in a different font. The problem is that when I search for something like "flash" and "fonts", no matter which other words I use, always comes a lot of things about fonts for flash files, or for flash embedding fonts, but never for the program itself. Wich font is missing in my system that flash CS3 needs?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking at finding a way of recording the amount of times a swf is loaded or a button pressed with the aim of giving a client feedback about how their product is used.Basically I am creating a touch screen app for a client which will contain a couple of hundred images and the client would like to keep track of which images are loaded in and how many times.
I looked at Mochibot which seems good however I don't think this app I am building will be connected to the Internet. So that's not a viable option. So is it possible to output something locally? Which will get added too every time the app is used. Even if the computer and app are restarted?
Currently when I load my presentation that I have just recently created and testing I'm getting a HUGE spike in my cpu usage.
I'm running an i5 2.4, and it's nearly taking up 100%, a friend of mine is running a core 2 duo and it's taking up 100% of the cores.
What is a proper way to optimize for these occurances? I don't have any preloaders up and running yet.

I'm user of relatively weak computer (pentium IV 3.0 with hyper-threadingiem) but with a bit newer graphic card - asus radeon HD4650I'm not big new games fun, I'm useing my hardware most to internet access so I would rather not to buy new computer in the near future. But also I would like to have possibility to watch flash movies fluently on full screen (eg. youtube, video streeming). Unfortunatelly, till now, it was pretty weak. I got hope that afther new flash release (lately), which should use computing power of graphic card and making CPU work lighter.
Unfortunatelly, afther flash update (10.1) I haven't noticed any changes - everything work in the same way (not fluently) as at old flash. CPU usage is still ca.100% and GPU usage is 0% (I can see it in control panel) What is wrong? Is it this version of flash what should use GPU or it is not yet? Maybe I should configure something more? Or is it possible that I made something wrong? I've tried few times, made lots of work and combinations (instaling and reinstaling different versions of flashs, graphic card drivers, browsers changing etc) and still nothing.
I have a question concerning CPU usage for games. What do people consider as an average or 'acceptable' amount of cpu usage for a game I've created a few different games, some which are more database driven have a very low cpu usage and small size.. others I've seen go up to 80% cpu usage..
I do try to keep a careful eye on this (I mean 80% of one core, of which I have 8.. I'm not sure how this will reflect on a single core/processor machine) but it does really concern me because as soon as I add an 'enterframe' function, spin something around or create a fair size animation it piles on the intensity to the cpu.. are there any professional tips anybody could offer me please ? I really want to make the web a better place for others by not overloading their computers
Is there some way to get the cpu usage in flash or adobe AIR?
I'm using ActionScript 3.0 and flash CS5.

View 3 RepliesI'm just started doing 'hands-on' learning of Actionscript 3 using FlashDevelop. I've now managed to subclass a sprite, load a graphic from the library, and manipulate it around the stage. Next step is doing the same with a MovieClip, but it doesn't seem to be as simple. Basically, I want a simple subclass of MovieClip, that uses a SWF that I created & exported in Flash CS5 (anything else that can create them?), and then added it into my library in FlashDevelop.
In my 'Main' class, I want something like this:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
public class Main extends Sprite {
private var myClip:MovieClip;
But that says the child is null, and I'm not sure I should be creating a 'new' MovieClip inside my sub-classed MovieClip anyways.
How much memory in bytes can Flash normally handle? I have a fairly involved program that is running at 39MB usage and now may be causing some memory issues (I'm not sure it's the memory, since it was running smoothly up until I made a few code changes and now Flash freezes after making those changes). But anyway, I have been wondering about memory usage and Flash CS3 and felt like this was a good topic to dicuss. Is there a way to force an increase in available memory for Flash?
