ActionScript 3.0 :: Load Chinese Characters Into Flash Via XML?
May 6, 2010
I am trying to find a way to load Chinese characters into Flash via XML.Notepad does not like chinese characters it seems... So how to copy the characters...My XML file is very simple:
I am having issue with my created flash, it can't handle chinese characters? is there some way i can handle this thru code? or should there be any font or language pack installed
Am having problems displaying Simplified chinese in Flash. I have a file and I am using an xml file to hold the text externally.I have tried embedding the simplified chinese in the text fields in the flash file, using a chinese specific font, however none of this is working
I'm calling a php file from Flash and adding variables afterwards like so:It works fine if I copy and paste this directly into the web browser, however if I call it through flash, the address bar would end up like this: something.php?title=??Is there anything I can do from PHP or flash to encode/decode the string? that method worked perfectly.Everything is echoing out fine, however I'm now having some issues inserting the informtion into my database via MySQL, all of my fields are set to UTF-8. I'm getting some weird characters instead of the Chinese characters.
I have a Flash file which contains some dynamic text boxes. ActionScript is being used to fill these boxes using strings. However, I can't seem to get Chinese characters to appear properly. I've tried the actual unicode character as well as their unicode-escaped equivalent but when I export the movie, nothing shows up (blank - it was assumed that the characters are not even present).
I've been searching all morning for this solution and can't find any. The closest one is this:[URL]..But it won't work for me. I have an XML that has some characters in Chinese, I can use any of these (one with the characters directly there, and the other with the characters in html)[URL]..The problem is that I can't display the characters on a Flash dynamic text box..
I have tried with sans font, trbuchet, tahoma, all embeding all of the chinese options...
System.usecodePage true and false, and nothing... html enabled and disabled...
I'm making an interactive animation for my project and I need to display chinese characters on stage. I've already installed the neccessary Window XP features to display chinese and it does display chinese anywhere I go. The strange thing is that the chinese characters are displayed as little white squares on stage but not in my library. In other words, I can read chinese in my library or any other places in my computer besides those that were set on stage.
I'm having some issue with embedding Traditional Chinese characters from the Arial Unicode MS font. I've used the character set described here (0x4E00 - 0x4FFF).[code]...

We have created an application where some Chinese texts need to be displayed. The text filelds have been created dynamically and Chinese Texts are retreived from an XML. [ The file has been created with AS 2.0 ]We have experienced - that
1. [Version CS5- Platform Windows 7]When setting the TextField.embedFonts property to TRUE, even when we create a new font in the library and provide an identifier to be exported, the fonts do not appear. But, interestingly setting embedFonts property to FALSE shows those Chinese characters.
2.[Version CS5- Platform Windows XP, SP 3 ]The Chinese characters does not show up at all, and unknown characters are shown.
So I have simplified Chinese saved in my database, characters like 故事的背景。 which is •…‹ƒ‚ I have embed the font for simplified Chinese but the chars do not convert. Is there a function is as3 to convert unicode?
I've created a "Poster Maker" in Flex. The text part of the poster is written inside a TLF-based RichEditableText component. Users can choose the font for the text using a ComboBox which lists all the device fonts on the computer.
All works well, until Chinese users try to apply a Chinese font and it doesn't work. Here's a screencast of the problem (just over 1 min long). In it you can see I can write Chinese in WordPad and apply the two different Chinese fonts I have on the PC without any problems. When I switch to the Flex app and try the same it doesn't work.I'm at a loss as to why this won't work. The change event of the font picker ComboBox looks like this:
var txtLayFmt:TextLayoutFormat = editor.getFormatOfRange(null, editor.selectionAnchorPosition, editor.selectionActivePosition );
[code]....
Where selectedItem.font is the fontname of the font and is what you see as the label in the ComboBox.
I need to load an xml with some special characters, I do the following:
objXML = new XML();objXML.onLoad = getLoaded;objXML.load("xml.xml");
xml.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> .....
I tried also : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-7"?> ..In the text fields that I did embending the text field is empty, no characters at all. In the text fields that I didnt put embed they say : undefined. When i remove the special characters from the xml is working orite.
Being from Norway there's important for me that my Flash application load special characters like How do i load them with loadvars()When I've loaded the variables from the page, and access them, i only get the string before the special character loaded.
I'm working on a site in which I have actionscript loading a blog from a php file. It doesnt seem to want to show the or other characters with accents, even though I have embedded those characters in the dynamic text field. here is the isolated text box: [URL] and here is the php file it is loading from: [URL] Notice the diference? I wrote Espana once and the second time Reino de Espaa, which shows up in php but not in flash. My php is using "iso-8859-1" characters and I think I need to change it to unicode? When I load the text from a unicode txt file all the special characters show up. But I'm not sure how to do this or even exactly what unicode is.
