I have recently run into a problem when loading an external xml file into actionscript 3. Flash does not want to read special characters for some reason! My XML doc is "uni-8" and I've tried using regular - letter and to describe the character but no luck so far.

View 3 Replies1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc... 2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears. 3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but let me know if I am wrong about this. I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below..

I've build a guestbook in flash, which works together with a PHP file and a textfile. The problem is that the guestbook doesn't show any special characters... In the textfile they do appear, but not in the flashfile... So flash uploads the text fine, but when it want to download the text...it leaves all the special characters out...
View 2 RepliesI have a flash-application (done with CS4) in which a particular Textbox, which is vertical fails to display characters with a hacek (ˇ) on top. If such a character appears with in a string that is to be shown, it is simply dropped, leaving the string crippled.
This baffles me since characters with hacek work on other (horizontal) textfields in the same .swf with the same Font (Arial) work just fine. I also tried manually telling flash to embed these characters for this textfield, but to no avail. Even entering characters with hacek in the flash IDE works without problems.
I am not very familiar with flash, this application has been developed by a co-worker who is no longer employed here.
I have a question concerning the use of 'special characters'. I am making a flash movie targeting people whom speak Swedish, and I need the three last characters in our alphabet to do this. I have a MySql database with the data in it sending it to my flash movie

I though I just needed to include my font, specify the character ranges and write in any special characters in the window at the bottom but that did nothing, the characters are just omitted when I try to show em in flash
Code:
System.UseCodePage=true;
I saw that some where and added it too , but that just gave me errors.
I made a page with a dynamic textfield which gets its text from an xml file.The text is italian, so contains characters as. None of these are recognised if I test my page, instead of these letters I see blank spaces. -I tried with embed, include special characters autofill, but that didn't do anything. -I read an article on this site about embedding international characters which says to put System.useCodePage=true; I did so, but got an error message. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

I am modifiing a flash-application and have got quite far. However, I am stuck with a problem: it is not possible to type in the Danish letters ������ in the application UI, it does simply not respond to these. This is probably because the letters were not embedded/included in the external font file (which is a swf), that the application use as a resource. I have tried to swap the font swf-file with a homemade one but it does not seem to be wellformed, since the application now does not allow any writing at all.

I have a dynamic textbox in flash called vt. It has attached to it the following in a class file:
vt.text = xml.video.@vt[cv];
and pulls the information from an XML File:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<playlist>
<video src='videos/video1.flv' vt='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'/>
</playlist>
Now for some reason only the letters a d g i l n o will actually display when tested with all the alphabet above.

How to enable special characters in var txt:TextField = new TextField();
in action script 3.0.
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "Verdana";
tf.size = 12;
tf.bold = true;
tf.align = "left";
[Code] .....
I embedded the "Verdana" font in ma fla named "Verdana". But my issue is the text filed is not showing the special characters. How can I embed in codes, I don't use the text filed from the component library. Everything was created only through action script 3.0 code.
I am facing a problem while embedding font(Arial) in as3. Please check the attached fla. Here the text is "Press â–²+â–¼ to reset it to default." But when I set testTF.embedFonts = true; up and down arrow is not shown in output. If you set the value to false, characters are shown.

View 2 RepliesI am working on a Flex app that has a MySQL database. Data is retrieved from the DB using PHP then I am using AMFPHP to pass the data on to FlexThe problem that I am having is that the data is being copied from Word documents which sometimes result in some of the more unusual characters are not displaying properly. For example, Word uses different characters for starting and ending double quotes instead of just " (the standard double quotes). Another example is the long dash instead of -.All of these characters result in one or more accented capital A characters appearing instead. Not only that, each time the document is saved, the characters are replaced again resulting in an ever-increasing number of these accented A's appearing.
Doing a search and replace for each troublesome character to swap it for one of the none characters seems to work but obviously this requires compiling a list of all the characters that may appear and means there is scope for this continuing as new characters are used for the first time. It also seems like a bit of a brute force way of getting round the problem rather than a proper solution.Does anyone know what causes this and have any good workarounds / fixes? I have had similar problems when using utf-8 characters in html documents that aren't set to use utf-8. Is this the same thing and if so, how do I get flex to use utf-8?
I've got an XML-RPC server-client setup with Flash as the front-end and Delphi as the back-end. I'm essentially sending Strings which contain XML to Flash from Delphi. It's working without any real issues but one: Sometimes the Delphi side needs to send a ">" or "<" character in a string (e.g. "dn < ds").
This causes a problem when I try to convert the string to XML because Flash interprets that as malformed (the ">" or "<" could signify a tag). Will I have to comb the string for any occurrences and then escape them (as in "%gt;" for ">" and "%lt;" for "<") myself, or is there possibly some built-in method of dealing with those?
how can i get the value os a attribute located in a xml file that contains caracters like:
� � � � � � ?
sometimes it gives me a error in the text, other blocks the swf application.
I've been looking on several fourms but have yet to find the answer to how to fix special characters. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but if someone could point me there. I looked at the fourm on kirupa but it didn't solve my problem. Right know my dynamic text has & a p o s; in it. My xml file is encoding="UTF-8" and I used System.useCodepage = true; but still no luck. I also embedding my font.
View 1 Repliesi'm loading a dynamic text, but some spanish characters like " and " (i hope you see the characters in "") do not appear. Por example, the word "drsticas" which has the special character over the "a" appears "dricas", that is, it skips the letter with the special character and the 2 following letters.Anyway, i've tried using the embed option for dynamic texts, but may be i'm using it wrong.

I have a Flash file saved as version 8 with the following script calling an xml file:
[Code]...
When posted online my flash file displays the encoding tag in the xml file. AND the apostrophe, ampersand and quote marks display as html code instead of the actual character. I can take the encoding tag out of the xml file but my characters still don't display correctly. My dynamic text field in flash (myText) does have special characters embedded, plus I have them entered manually in the field for 'include these characters'.
I have some XML. The apostrophe and dashes don't display. Is there a way to handle it without resorting to & ? It is the dash right after the underlined title. For the apostrophe, I went ahead and used ITSD's (for ITSD's). Just wondering if I have to that with every special character.
[Code]...
The display in the TextArea Component puts a little box in places where the dash and apostrophe are.
I am working on project in flex 3, where user enters some text which is to be stored in a mysql database and shown later. I am using XML for data transfer from flex to php and vice-versa. SimpleXMLElement in php is being used to create the XML. The problem is the XML breaks on special characters.Here is sample code:
FLEX:
var someXML:XML = <root><data>somedata</data><data>...</data> ... </root>
var data:Object = {};
data.xmlData = someXML;
saveDataService.send(data);
Here somedata is the data entered by the user. In php, I extract the someXML using SimpleXMLElement and store it to mysql. There is no problem till here. Even if somedata has special characters its working fine and data is stored properly.Now, in the other case, getting data from database and showing in flex, the response from the php breaks with an error:
SimpleXMLElement::addChild() [simplexmlelement.addchild]:unterminated entity reference
I tried using urlencode in php, and decodeURI function in flex, but the decoded string is not the same, few special characters are still %xy after decoding.
