I'm developing a site which brings the text data from external .txt files, the problem is it doesn't recognize the escape caracters for the return "
". the flash uses System.useCodePage = true; because in this way it can recognize special characters like � or � and so on.
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.
View 1 RepliesI need some very urgent help for a project that is on a tight deadline. I have a CDATA node that i'm loading into Flash that has some html in it. Let's just say this is it:
You are <font color='#FFFFFF'>very pretty</font>.<br><br>
When I trace out the xml after it is loaded into flash, it comes out as this:
You are <font color='#FFFFFF'>very pretty</font>.<br><br>
I need it to come through with the tags in tact. How do I go about this?
I am trying to find if a substring (pattern) is included in a string (path). I use the search method of String class, but if my pattern string includes regular expressions special characters (i.e. ()$), the search function returns (-1). How can I escape these characters?
Code:
// with path="hello$world" and pattern="hello$" this returns -1
function checkPath (pattern:String):int
{
var reg:RegExp = new RegExp(pattern);
return path.search(reg);
}
I've made an AS3 AIR proggie that works with PHP to look at a specific online directory of mp3s, get it's listing, and download to my local machine. It works fine, except when a song name has '&' in it. I'm not sure how to escape ampersands, or where the escape needs to happen - PHP or AS3? Here's the relevant AS3:

I have to embed VAGRounded bold. I can't seem to get it to work reliably. I have created 4 dynamic text boxes, one for each of the 4 styles and embedded the characters into each one for the 4 versions of the font. I then wrote some text directly into the boxes on the stage.I created a 5th dynamic box and called it "test". I set the family to VAG ROunded, style:bold (ie just like one of the ones above). I then embedded the characters into it.I added this dead simple as2.[code]THis 5th text box looks NOTHING like the bold one from above, as you can see in the attached image.
View 4 Repliesim loading a text from a mysql-db with php. I use url encoding/decoding but still my flash shows a small "square" instead of "�" (for example) in the textfield (using arial). Embedding the font doesnt work either i think.
View 1 RepliesI have a few variables that I need to pass to Flash,
so.addVariable("var4","crer");
I read that I can do this by using this: so.addVariable("var4",encode("crer"));
but that won't work either.. the gets replaced by FFFD instead.

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 used the fscommand("fullscreen",true) in my application to make it fullscreen. However when the user presses the Escape key, the window goes into the normal view. Is there any way of disabling the Escape key to make my movie in fullscreen all the time? and the only way to quit the movie is my clicking the label I created 'Exit' with the AS command fscommand("quit");
View 1 Replieshow to disable the escape key in my flash movie.
View 3 Repliesi have a nice piece of code to set the fullscreen with dynamic text formatting (below)
what i am trying to do is add in a key event listener for the escape key, so that if the user hits esc instead of the button, it will also reset the button's 'normal view' settings
i have tried to do a test in a separate fla but even with just a trace on the function, when i hit esc all the swf does is stop (odd!)
Code:
//bu for fullscreen clicks
goFull_bu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fullOver);
goFull_bu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, fullOut);

I am continuing my long switch from AS2 to AS3 finally... and I thought I'd start by making something simple. An "Escape The Room" type game, should be easy right? Just pointing and clicking? I loaded up my file for folks to look at.. I guess my big question is what I did wrong.. I thought i set up the buttons correctly and my Event Listeners.
nail_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, objectFound);
But Flash doesn't like SOMETHING I did, I should be able to click and drag things if I knew what I was doing :P

I am creating a software product demonstrator. The software uses the Escape key to let users get out of menus - crap I know, but that's the way they do it! My problem is that I want Flash MX to look out for the Escape key being hit within my demonstrator and then go to another frame when it is hit.
View 2 RepliesNow that I have the focus on my DataGrid and I can select a row using the up and down keyboard arrows, I then would like to confirm my row selection by hitting the enter key.But, my keydown listener on the DataGrid doesn't see the enter, escape and delete keys. Most of the other keys are seen. I can browse the list by using the up and down keys (and I can see my function in the keydown listener are called).It only happens when I check my application from the Flash IDE. In debug mode, these keys are taken into account.My DataGrid is not editable but selectable.
