ActionScript 3.0 :: Referencing A Font Name On Chinese System
Sep 15, 2010
I'm using the font Arial Unicode MS to display Chinese characters. I'm not embedding it. I'll use Actionscript to build TextFields and populate them dynamically with data with Chinese characters.For delivery on western systems, I can set the font property in TextFormat objects to [code]Can I do that on Chinese language operating systems or do I need to use the Chinese characters instead of "Arial Unicode MS" to define the font property?[code]If it's the latter, does anyone have those characters handy (the example above is a different font name) if they'll display here? They're visible in the font menu in Flash CS5, but I can't copy them from there.
I have been trying to use the .embedFonts with a chinese font but this does not appear to work. When I use an english font, no problems there, its just when I try any non English font, nothing appears.

I'm on a mac using CS5/AS3 and I'm having trouble getting the ® symbol to display in a dynamic textfield embedded with a Chinese font (Hei - but others fail as well). I can type the ® symbol into the textfield in the authoring tool, the problem occurs when dynamically populating the textfield via XML at runtime. I have tried multiple Chinese fonts, multiple encoding types in the XML (unicode, html, etc) and all characters are embedded properly as far as I can tell. I'm not having font trouble in general, all other characters and symbols I have tried work fine except for the registered trademark,
I've embedded a font in my component. All of the text in the component uses the embedded font. But, I want a button to use the standard system font. How do I set the button's fontFamily to the system font?
Does anyone know of a way to determine if a glyph is available for a system font, as returned by Font.enumerateFonts()? It turns out Font.hasGlyphs only works on embedded fonts set to export for ActionScript.
I am using Flash MX 2004 and would like to display the system date/time. The problem I am encountering is when trying to use a pixel font to display it with. Is this possible??? Or can you use only standard (safe) font�s i.e. Arial, sans-serif etc.
I'm trying to embed a font in my project by using url("font.ttf") rather than local("Font Name"), but it doesn't seem to pick it up. The font in question is called "Gotham Bold". When i view the details of the font, the font weight is regular, however when i use local("Gotham Bold") in the css i have to specify fontWeight: bold or else it wont pick it up. But when I use url("folderGotham-Bold.ttf"), and specify fontWeight: bold, it says that font weight is not found for that TTF. If i remove the fontweight, there's no errors, but the font is not applied to the text.
I got a textfile who i am reading on a serverside script and passing it as a script to my client side as3 code. The problem is that i am using characters like ä,ö,ü,ß and this isn't well displayed. I tried System.useCodePage but the compiler complains about : 1120: Access of undefined property 'System'. It doesnt matter if I tried this on the first line of the 'Action' in the first scene or in the first line of the first .as file i am loading. (btw i am only working with .as file and not in the timeline). When i am importing flash.System.* the compiler complains he dont know useCodePage.
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.
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 looking for handwriting recognition solution. I've found one here, which is a flash application. What's the principle of how it works? Does it make any queries to db to find the character?
i'm working on a menu with a search field, all this menu is done in flash, on the english side works perfect, you write "dah" and it searches for "dah" but on chinese, you write "餅" it posts "??" instead the characters that i want to search for.I changed the encodig, but it just got things worst, i just can write squares if i change the encoding to big5,
I am trying to get Chinese text using XML file. it's loading text BUT it doesn't display Chinese text in it,It only displays Square/Box. I have used TAHOMA font for that text box. is there any solution?
Is it possible to make this a mask? The system contains one movieclip of a circle called ball, also a class called ball and a class called particle. I want the particle system movieclips to display an image...I'm sure this is possible...just have not been able to find a way. A little backround, I'm a completely selftaught n00b when it comes to AS3, but I'm grasping it fairly well... the tutorial is on this website, called A Simple Particle System Using Actionscript 3.
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 been working on a subtitles engine for flash/flv video player. On my Mac everything is great, nice aliased glyphs, displaying all the characters, etc. Switch to windows, it all goes out the window. Some machines with Eastern Characters enabled display fine, but I can't guarantee all users will have this option selected.
I am using the TLFTextField, I am pulling in UTF-8 XML with Chinese/Japanese characters. I have tried embedding the (required fonts/glyphs) but pushes the file size up massively. I have also tried changing it to unicode, with no joy. Has anyone got any experience with displaying these characters while maintaining a low file size.
Does anyone know how can I load Chinese fonts at runtime? When I embed font to a text box it works fine but when I load is at runtime its doesn't work.
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:
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.
I have one application that needs saving some text to local file folder, the text may include chinese words, and i found Flex's FileReference.save can do the job. But the problem is when i opened the saved file with Wordpad, the chinese words does not show correctly, but Notepad can show the text correctly.
From Adobe's help document about FileReference.save, "If the value is a String, it is saved as a UTF-8 text file."So i think it is probably an encoding problem, but why Wordpad and Notepad behaviors differently, did they use different encoding? what encoding did they use ?
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'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]...
I am having trouble loading Chinese Symbols into a TextField from another TextField. I have a dynamic drop down box that loads its text from a string within the actionscript code, however the actionscript code cannot contain chinese symbols. I thought the easiest way around this problem would be to load the text from another TextField, however it seems to appear blank, failing to load the text. example base1_mc.header1.textbox_txt.text=q1.text; base1_mc.header1.textbox_txt.text = dynamic drop down textbox. q1.text = chinese symbols inside TextField on the stage. I thought this would have been a simple problem, however it doesnt appear to be so. If I try to load it using this ase1_mc.header1.textbox_txt.text=q1; it loads some text declaring a new and empty function.
