I've downloaded a template flash slideshow, and the client want's to display a price on the text the appears with the pictures. No problem I thought. Dollar signs work fine, but pound signs, no. Reading round on the net, this has something to do with embedded fonts ?
I emailed the developer who said I needed to add the pound sign to the text fields in the source file. Ok so I look through the source file, I can see one thing that looks like a text field. Forums say choose properties and the should be a font's dropdown.
Reading in text from a text file and flash seems to refuse to display the pound sign (£). Tried doing the url encode thing (%A3) but his dosent seem to work either. Can anyone shed any light on this?
I wrote a class that converts possible color formats (that I can think of) into valid hex colors appended to a pound sign (#). So what it basically does is check and convert a color in any of the following formats
into String("#nnnnnn") regardless of empty spaces.Color names are the current standard 147 CSS color names, as listed in here.This class can be used by its single static method to 'normalize' colors in an html if an appropriate replace pattern is used. The method works for a single color. This, in fact, might be used while parsing an html data into a text field in flash, for example. Additionally you can input an optional second 'default color' parameter in the method.
I have a dynamic text field that I would like to say "+250 Points". After embedding the fonts, it works fine with a normal font like Arial. But when I try to use a downloaded font, the text shows up with a vertical rectangle instead of a plus sign (mytextField.text = "+250 Points"; ).The font that I'm using (Arcade Classic) has a plus sign character that I can type in to the field in Flash, but AS3 won't cut it. This is after selecting All glyphs and putting in + on the extra characters to embed.
Having problems getting euro sign to display when loaded from external .txt file into dynamic text field using:
var myLv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); myLv.load("test.txt"); myLv.onLoad = function (success) { if(success){
[Code].....
tried saving the test.txt file as UTF-8 no joy, also the myvar above needs to display a bunch of text with a scrollbar, peculiar things happen such as, euro sign doesn't display, or, if I embed the font used, with say Arial, text doesn't display properly, if device fonts are chosen without embed, text displayed doesn't display the euro sign, '€' the common way to code the euro in html doesn't get recognised in .txt file?
I've created an eBook that's 972 X 500 pixels (13.5" X 7"). The image in the browser is roughly 9.5 inches wide. Is there a way to make the browser display the image at actual size? Am I missing something here? The SWF file does print out at the true size from the browser.
I am not new to html or flash but, some what new to XML. I created a carousel based off the tutorials and it works great on my computer but, when I create an html file and attach the .swf file the flash file loads but, the icon images or anything from the .xml file doesn't appear.This is what I use to load my .swf file :
im trying to create a flash file that is randomly showing different objects/images, i believe i have the correct codes although i have encountered an error.
When I enter my e-mail address in an input text field in the flash movie, some funny character appears before @. How do I solve this? I googled a bit and found out thatActionScript Code:System.useCodePage = true; could cause this, and I was told by someone else that @ sign wasn't included in the system character set. So, which one is true and how do I avoid it?
When swf file shows up on a computer as an unknown file, does that mean the computer doesn't have flash player? Or do I need to change my publish settings?
I am using Papervision2 great white. I am also using imported 3D objects from maya exported as collada files. Now working in flash everything shows up fine and dandy, no problems. However when I upload it (every file actually, I never move anything just in case) the avatar im using, a van, doesnt show up at all. The other DAE files do because they arent using any textures. The van has a UV texture applied to it, so I'm assuming that's what screwing it up. I am working inside flash. I'm not using any external AS files.
var daeFile: DAE; daeFile=new DAE; daeFile.load("van2.dae"); var universe: DisplayObject3D;

How would you, in actionscript 3 make a way to create, log-in, sign-out, etc. of user accounts? I'm mostly looking for an API i can use and if there is, how would I use it?Alternatively, if there is no way to do it in AS3 as that is a longshot, how could I do it in html using dreamweaver?FYI: this is for a website.
I am trying to make a website using flash, and as I dive deeper on this project i realize that it is far more complex than I thought.I came across with this problem:In my webpage, i reserved a big space for content, which would include text and images (a space for news). In that space, flash would read, and show, a word file (for example), thus making it possible to update the content of the website without changing the SWF file, but changing only the external word document.
I have been searching for a few days now, I keep seeing the question, but no answer. I created a text effect using a mask. It works great when I move through the timeline.However, when I test the movie or publish it as swf or htmp, the mask doesn't work. As I was searching for an answer, I noticed several references to making sure the font is embedded, so I made sure I did, but it's still not workingI am using:Flash Professional CS5Windows 7Flash Player 10ActionScript 3.0
I am working with Flash CS5 (AS3) on an iMAC running 10.6.8, My problem is, when I test my Flash file in Flash, the button rollovers change the cursor from the arrow to the hand. When I publish the file as SWF and HTML, the cursor only changes in the SWF file, not the HTML. People know that there is a button there if it doesn't change. Has any one run into this issue before, if so, how can I correct this issue?
I managed to show the output of a shell command in TextArea of flex by calling following php file via HTTPService and then using the dataprovider attribute of TextArea to show the returned output.
Problem that I want to share with you is that I have two external swf. One is swf generated by Flex IDE and second one is generated by Flash IDE. When I load flex swf, loading progress output is not showing until the whole file is loaded. This problem is not presented when I load flash swf as you can see on this testing page 90.157.198.254/test/test.php.
I want to format a number with the '+' or '-' sign attached to it. When i tried with the useNegativeSign=true, it gave only '-' sign. I want like this : +13%, -12%
I have a flex application, running with amfphp and connected to wamp, I want to use a secure connection using ssl, but my whole application is running from the same swf file, would using ssl in that case mean that all the data, being sent and received between the server and client ,encrypted? Because this is not what I'm trying to do, I only want to encrypt the sign up and sign in data.
please note that, I have log-in bar which is visible the whole time as long as the user is not signed in.in other words, I only want to secure some of the data being transferred not every thing.
I have a datagrid column with numbers in it. How do I:
1. add a '%' sign at the end of each number in the column
2. make the color either red or green depending on if the number is less than or greater than 0, respectively. I've been able to do 1 or the other but not both. Here is what I have, which does #2 but not #1:
