Oct 24, 2011I need flash to show English or French depending on what language/country you're from. I know you can do it with javascript to do a browser detect.

View 3 RepliesI wanted to set the language of my flash website based on the users location country wise. I know there are some methods with php and searching a database but I am trying to avoid that route.
I found one script in javascript that links to a webpage and produces a document.write if you go to that link. It returns the users country i believe. but there seems to be no documentation.
<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan -->
<script language="Javascript" src="http://map.geoup.com/geoup?template=CountryName">
</script>
<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan -->
Is it possible for me to capture that input from the link and pass it in as a flashvar? I am using as3 and I have no clue how to pass that through.
I have static background and do not know how to do motion of logo from country to country. and end up with logo static in North America I have files to send if needed
View 1 RepliesI was just on the phone with Macromedia Technical support.Im using arabic language in one of my projects. Arabic is a right-to-left language.I'm usng it in the textarea component. Im facing two problems:
1) The words are displayed okay, but I can't align them to make them appear from right to left...
2) At the end of each sentence, the last word is chunked, and the rest is appeared in the next line.
For example, the sentence "Adobe purchased macromedia" is displayed as:
Adobe purchas
ed Macromedia
Like that. Obviously, flash cannot detect the words (or rather the spaces between them).
There is a way to detect the browser version in the html file?I wanna do something like this:

Question: Is it possible to let flash load different files with an if-statement depending on from where the file is entered?My plan is to publish the swf with an html file. So theoretical as there are many different locations for IP adresses it should be possible to have the if-statement check, from where my file is opened
View 3 RepliesAnybody know any jQuery plugin or any such thing in javascript, similar to this? Which can be used to select location/countries in maps...?
I would not prefer flash, but still, if there is any for free with some customizable options/effects, it would do.
I am creating a shaded map and really don't want to assign colors to each country in longhand. I created a function to color my MCs.
function colorMe(obj:Object, clr:uint):void
{
var colorTransform:ColorTransform = obj.transform.colorTransform;
colorTransform.color = clr;
[code].....
I store the needed color in the XML as something like <clr>0XE5ACEA<clr>.Shouldn't this work:
var b:Number = 0;
function loadXML(e:Event):void
{
var xml = new XML(e.target.data);
[code].....
Instead, I get this error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert XMLList@2ac36821 to flash.geom.ColorTransform.
By default, when you visit a website that is made entirely in Flash and there is a Tme and Date movie clip feature... you know... it gets the current time and date of your computer so you're actually seeing your own time, right? What I've always wanted to do is when you visit a website that is made entirely in Falsh, and you have a Time and Date movie clip that tells the creators current time and the current date instead of just getting the values of your computer time and displaying your own. I'm in the Philippines so I want the visitors of my site to view what time and date is it in the Philippines.

As usual I brought a problem for you guys to help me figure it out. What's happening is that I currently finished developing a MMO for a famous and big company in my country, I have one week before uploading it to their server and everything is ok, besides the performance.
I'm using smartfox 2.0 and I have several rooms, what happen is that if I go inside any of the rooms everything is beautifull and fast, but if I quit the actual and go to another it will be slower, and if I do this over and over again it gets slower each time I do this.
I don't what it can be, I caught the project in the middle of the way and did my part, I was revising the code but I have no idea where to look for something wrong.
I want to know about countrywise digital clock. I have a map and when I mouseOver on a country then it should show the time of that that country.like when i over on india then it should show the indian time and when i over on china then it should show the chinies time..

View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash CS3 with Actionscript 3, and I need to have a scripting language that the user can use. If they could type in their own actionscript and have it evaluated, that would be perfect. Another scripting language such as Lua would be fine too. I looked into lua alchemy, but it seems poorly supported so I'd rather not use that. The Eval command from actionscript 2 isn't available in as3, and some of the things I've heard indicate that it's functionality is pretty limited, although I've never used it before.
View 1 RepliesWhat method or process do I use to set an iOS app to only one language?I recently had an iPad app written in Flash CS5.5 approved at the iTunes app store. I noticed at the iTunes store, it indicates that my app is localized in 14 different languages. I never set this up; it seems that there is a process that automatically adds several default language localizations to the ipa binary when the file is published. I tried the strings panel, used a var to set the localID, went into the SDK for flex and flash builder and deleted the locales (could not find anything similar for Flash itself), but none of this seems to prevent Flash from adding the language defaults. I have found many examples on how to localize my app for several languages, but nothing on how to set it to only one.
View 3 RepliesI have created a actionscript with Capabilities function It works good, but I want to ad a If else statement on the capabilities for language.I'm running in English so the capabilities shows " EN ", but I want the if else statement to change " EN " to = English, and if we are running in different language it would say " Other language"
This is what i have at the moment.
var versionString = Capabilities.language;
var label2:TextField = createCustomTextField(0, 60, 200, 20);
label2.text = "language: " + Capabilities.language;
how to use the if and else statement ?
this is the URL of the language reference website I have been using for Flash/AIR: [URL]Is this URL the correct one I should be using when I need to look up a class or method or property or something like that? Because it does not match up with what actually shows up in the Flash IDE when I type an import statement. Most of the packages match up but not all.
For instance, the reference URL has a fl.events package, and so do I locally, but my package seems to be missing lots of classes from it that the reference URL shows. This leads me to believe I don't have the latest SDK's or SWC's or whatever I need installed, whether they be Flash, Flex, Air, etc.Also, I have a few packages locally that don't show up in the reference URL. Things like "flash.debugger" and "flash.trace", they are not my custom classes, not sure where they came from.
Lastly, there are certain AIR classes missing, and I'm sure this is because I don't have the latest AIR SDK installed. I did find it and download it, just not sure how to download it.
1) Is the above URL the one I should be using? If not, is there a better definitive location for Flash/AIR language reference that is updated and always has the latest and greatest info?
2) I have the latest AIR sdk on my desktop, how do I install it? (I'm using Flash CS5 on Mac OSX 10.6)
3) How can I make sure that what I see in that reference URL is what shows up in my code hinting when I type import statements in the Actions Panel? Basically I just want to make sure I am all up to date so everything is showing and working the way it should be. For instance, I am missing a ton of fl classes (containers, controls, core, data, etc.) I want to get these in place so my local copies are synchronized as close as possible with the reference. Documentation doesn't help much when you don't have the tools it tells you to use...
4) Take the fl.ik package for instance. Locally, I have available all the classes in the reference URL that I should, plus a bunch more that aren't there.
I have one issue that i have one game in Russian language, and I want to change it in English so anyone can give me the easiest and informative solution to convert it in English.... or Can we use language interpreter in Flash?

View 2 RepliesI am aware of the built-in 'Strings' panel within the Flash IDE, however is this the best way to go about creating a multi-lingual AS3 site/application nowadays?Are there any recommended 3rd party APIs/frameworks available? Ideally I'd like to be able to change language on the fly and support as many character sets as possible, I will also be dealing with both static and dynamic text content.
View 6 RepliesI need a good multi language flash chart for my company's portal, can you recommend one? Already have tried fusion-charts, amCharts, and also OpenChart - But they are not supporting right-to-left, and the API is not simple (they require a complex XML).

good looking
easy to implement (simple api)
customizable
well documented
not expensive
I'm creating an XML driven language selector which places the current language's flag (depending on the user's locale which is passed through a Flash Var parameter) at the top of the list. I've got all this working so far BUT i'm having trouble with the results. I want to be able to add onRollOver and onRelease functions to the newly created movieclips but it just ain't happening! The onRollOver function would be a bit of movement for each flag and the onRelease would call getURL using the url for that language which is contained in the XML file.
Code:
sideFeather.swapDepths(10000);
var x = new XML();

View 1 RepliesHow can I create a flash video using Java.. (Java and JavaScript have nothing to do with each other, in my world Java Script is a useless technology).

Picture having two million directories, each directory has 30 photos and a sound clip. From this I want to produce two million flash movies each movie has 30 photos and the sound clip. Each movie has panning of the photos (Ken Burns, Civil War on PBS). What does Adobe have that I can call from within my Java code or Perl perhaps. I need to do this every two weeks, at least. Using a standard user interface is not going to work, even if I hired half of the planet.. I have been on the phone with Adobe for two days and have gotten nowhere.. surly Adobe has something which allows me to automate the creation of Flash movies. right?
My flash is in dutch, but most tutorials. So i would like to change the language of the program to English aswell.
View 1 RepliesCurrently I have a flash based application (game) which I need to put on facebook, the users could save their scores and resume their game.

View 1 RepliesI have a SWF with text embedded from an external .txt file. Is there a way I can have a different file used as the text source through the embedcode (swfObject) depending on the language?
Here is my current actionscript:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
text_clips.project_title.text = this.projecttitle1;
[Code]....
There are four languages needed so far, but this will grow so it needs to be flexible enough to let the developers add languages without getting a new SWF each time.
