I'm working with IPA Character embedding in Flash CS4. I can get almost all the characters to display properly, but "U+2C71" is giving me a problem.This works:
ActionScript Code:
txt.text = "u0294";
This displays "u2C71":
ActionScript Code:
txt.text = "u2C71";
It's like it's not even trying to find the Unicode character. Adobe says that everything up to uFFFF is supported, so I don't have any idea why it would be doing that
I have the unicode for that char, how do I display it?
0x023D2A
textField.text = ???;
I have have the name of the character. Can I reference it by name?
how to write japanese character using unicode if i read the unicode data ("u3042") from XML?because i only can write it using :
var str:String="u3042";
trace(str);
its work, but if i read it from xml and write it, it's not work..
I'm having a problem with "&". Basically I haven't been able to escape this correctly in Flash AS3, however I did find this link which seems helpful: [URL]

use unicode character 187 (hex:BB) or ascii character 174 as a seperation character in my mysql database.This was working great in one of my swf files but not flash keeps reading an extra character. [code]The trace output from this looks like this: 1«1.If I change the php so that it's sending a 1B1 (no special characters) it works ok.I tried using the ASCII version and the Unicode version alt-174 and alt-0187 and both return this extra %2c character.I have tried urlencode from php, but even sending a 1%BB1 provides the same results.I can't fathom why it would all of a sudden start adding extra characters. So should I change my seperation character. If so, what's recommend? If not, should I check every variables from php for this extra character and remove it?
View 7 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 Repliesvar bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray;
bytes.writeInt(0);
trace(bytes.length); // prints 4
trace(bytes.toString().length); // prints 4
When I run the above code the output suggests that every character in the string returned by toString contains one byte from the ByteArray. This is of course great if you want to display the content of the ByteArray, but not so great if you want to send its content encoded in a string and the size of the string matters.Is it possible to get a string from the ByteArray where every character in the string contains two bytes from the ByteArray?
I am tasked with created a site that handles Japanese characters, and am looking for any insight you can offer for this.My main issue right now is the size spike the site will get if I embed a font like "Arial Unicode MS" with the Kanji character set which has 3174 glyphs. When I compiled an fla with only a textfield and these Japanese characters embed it stands at 731k. So I am looking for options to either eliminate the need to embed the Kanji characters or find a way to limit the number of characters needed to handle the Kanji character set.
1. Which fonts if any come pre-installed on Wins & Mac that natively handle Kanji characters.
2. If there is such a font for Win & Mac does this mean I don't need to embed the Kanji glyphs for the font in a swf, and can be sure any user viewing the site will be able to see the Janji characters, because their OS already can handle displaying Janji characters. For example if I go to a webpage on the internet that has Japanese characters I am able to view the Japanese characters, is this because the browsers themselves have these fonts embedded or is it pulling from my OS to display the Japanese font?
3. If I do need to embed a font to handle the Janji characters do I need to include all 3174 glyphs to cover all possible English equivalents. I read that you can specify a unicode range for a font, believe this only works with CS4 though. I don't know much about unicode ranges let allow the ranges I need for Japanese characters.
I am trying to locate the letter at a certain number of characters after a word.For instance, in this sentence:"Hello, I really like dogs"I want to find the character of position 7 after the word "really", which in the above sentence would be the letter "d"
View 2 RepliesI need to strip a string from another and get the remnants. The string I need to strip is a Twitter username, so it can be variable length, but always starts with an '@' and can only contain alphanumeric characters or underscores.
For example, the original string might be "@username: tweeting about stuff" and I need to get out of that ": tweeting about stuff".
In a dynamic text field, I need to be able to search for the string and all of the characters after that up until it reaches a <space> then return that whole string into a variable I can use.
View 5 RepliesI can't use charCode, or keyCode in KeyboardEvent to find out the character pressed, because even if I change the keyboard layout, charCode and keyCode are not change (if press the same key).So, how to find the presssed character, following to the current keyboard layout?
The charCode property is the numeric value of that key in the current character set (the default character set is UTF-8, which supports ASCII).is not correct.
I am making a drag and drop type of quiz. The text is loaded from an XML file. I am looking for a way to "detect" a blank in the text which represents the point in the sentence where a word needs to be filled in. And then that point needs to be represented by a movieclip or sprite or something that will hold text from the word that is dropped onto it (it will need to be draggable in case the user changes thier mind).

View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know the regular expression to test if a single string character has both upper and lower case character?
eg. All A-Z and a-z.
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 RepliesMy Flash AS3 application includes input TextFields. The user can choose from an array of fonts to use. These fonts are loaded at runtime from external SWFs. In order to support as many languages as possible, and to avoid having to load many MBs of foreign-language glyphs, I've included the "_sans" and "_serif" fonts. So, the idea is that a Russian user can type Cyrillic characters, or an Israeli can type Hebrew, when they select one of these two fonts.
Here's my problem: A Hebrew user has reported that they cannot type Hebrew characters into the TextField (only squares appear). BUT, when they copy-and-paste Hebrew text into the TextField, it DOES appear. This seems to prove that the Flash Player is able to find the appropriate glyphs on the user's system. But the user can't type them directly. If you've encountered this, have you tried a successful work-around, such as providing some kind of virtual keyboard interface?
i have prepared a registration, in these the user can register with korean text. but in the database they couldn't able to read the korean text.
is there any unicode conversion function in flash.
I am developing a Flex based window application. In that I have used a textArea, Now when I type some characters like ctrl+b, ctrl+e or ctrl+q, it shows some square characters in text area, I think these are some unicode characters but why these are being entered.
Unlike in simple textArea control on adobe example when I presses these key combination, there is nothing being entered, so why this only with me.
This is my window setup code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
