Some Characters Not Showing In Dynamic Text Box CS5

Oct 2, 2010

I'm trying to get into flash and one of my movies doesn't display all the characters I tell it to display in a dynamic text box. example:

Actionscript Code: if (day() == Saturday){tomorrow.text = "Sunday";}

and what comes out is: Suday

I'm using ActionScript 2 and I did embed the font in the library

Actionscript 3 :: Textfield.text Not Showing Every Characters?

Oct 22, 2010

I have a setup a PageHolder class (based on MovieCLip) that displays a doted area with a (page) number in the middle.

Now attempting to populate my LayoutPane, I create new instances of of PageHolder whose constructor is tasked to set the text value of its only Texfield to the value specified in the new PageHolder parameter.

The problem here is that only the character present in the Library Object will display at run time.

For example, I have setup my PageHolder object with a text field containing the number "0". Now at run time, every instance of PageHolder is blank except fro the one that I passed a "0" as part of the init parameter (10,20,30,...) and on those pages, only the "0" is showing. If I change the original object to display a "1" instead, then every "1" of the page number that contains a "1" show ups.

Can somebody shed some light on this?

package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class LayoutPage extends MovieClip

Special Characters In Dynamic Text?

Oct 23, 2003

i'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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: HTML Characters In Dynamic Text Box

May 6, 2003

I know that I can send this html to a dynamic text box and it works correctly:
< a href="http://www.djlex.com" target="_blank">Click< /a>

But, why does it not work to replace the quotation marks with & quot; ? < a href=& quot;http://www.djlex.com& quot; target=& quot;_blank& quot;>Click< /a>

(BTW, the extra spaces are intentional so the html does not render as html in this post)

IDE :: Dynamic Text Field Not Showing?

Feb 26, 2010

There seem to be a lot of people with my problem but all sorts of different things fixed their issue. None of that has worked for me:

Embedding the font
rendering text as html
making the font _sans
changing AA method

im sure I've tried some other random stuff as well..

Basically I've created an order form over multiple pages for products.. everything works.. on the last page which i have named overview I have a script on the top layer which basically fills out 3 dynamic text fields with the products they have ordered.

The script works.. it loads the text into the textfields they are just not visible.

I can even select the text when I enable "Make text selectable".

Professional :: Dynamic Text Field Is Not Displaying Foreign Characters?

Nov 30, 2010

I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
 
Here's what I've tried.
 
Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly?

Jan 4, 2011

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).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 - Limit The Amount Of Characters In Dynamic Text?

Jul 15, 2007

A have a big chunk of dynamic text (from a db). From this text i am making a .pdf. So i would like to limit the amount of outputted text as a page can run out of space.

I have tried to do it with search and replace. But the problem is that it counts only characters instead of characters in combination with whitespace and the number of lines.

There is space for 100 characters/spaces on each line, and a total of 38 lines on one page.

So i am thinking of something like this: * count all new lines represented by

* count all characters/whitespaces dived to the number of lines to check if this fits the number of (as it uses wordwap)

Anyone with bright ideas on how to approach this?

(btw. TextField.maxChars will not work as it's dynamic text...)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Show Special Characters In Dynamic Text Field?

Dec 25, 2009

I want to show special characters in flash

I have taken a dynamic text field with HTML property = true;

Some of the characters are working fine. But some of the special characters are not. For example the angle symbol "∠" is not working.

I found out the Decimal code for angle symbol (∠) and used it. It is working fine if I don't embed the font but when we embed the font (even with all the characters that flash support), it is not working.

I am using the following code

Code:
abc_txt.htmlText="∠ abc"

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Text Not Showing Up Under A Mask

Dec 9, 2010

I've discovered the joy that you cannot display dynamic text boxes if they are masked.After browsing the internet I found a few things to try, first embedding the font, which I have done, and that didn't work.The other solution involves setting the mask to a display object, which I've done, sort of.I create a Sprite() in code (I use Flex Develop, and never code on the time line), then use the Sprite.graphics to draw the mask, then set my main stage movieClip's .mask property to equal this layer.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Masking Dynamic Text Not Showing Up?

Feb 28, 2007

And my problem isn't the mask but the dynamic text is not loading from the XML file anymore.I think this is because in the tutorial the first thing you do is make the dynamic text field a movie clip. As soon as I do that the text data doesn't load from the external XML file. The code that previously worked was:_root.prompt = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue; prompt_txt.text = _root.prompt;But now I made the dynamic text field prompt_txt a movie clip named prompt_mc and it doesn't load. So I realize now that prompt_txt lives inside prompt_mc but how do I get the text data from the XML file there???
