Actionscript 3 :: Video - Loading Chinese Symbols Into TextField
Feb 21, 2012
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.
I'm trying to load chinese text from an xml-file to a dynamic textField in flash.Is there anyone who knows how I can do that?every feedback - url, idea or what ever will help me - can't find something on google....
I imported an avi video to flash, converted it to flv with Adobe media encoder, and did some symbol animation on top of it.How do I export an avi video so that the video I imported is actually playing, and not just to see the skin and flv icon? When I test the video it makes it in swf form and I'd rather not convert it any further and mess up it's quality.Is it possible to view the video in work space while animating symbols over it (I kinda did it by heart)?
I need to change text in all textfields in my .fla file (Flash CS3).Looks like i should call JSFL function "fl.findObjectInDocByType("text", fl.getDocumentDOM())" and it would return all elements, but it returns zero length array. I there any another way to iterate threw all library items, and change values of TextField's in MovieClips ?
How can I load symbols from XML files? At the moment I'm only able to load letters and numbers, but not symbols "(,/". It just ignores them and continue to parse the rest.
Does anyone know, why a textfield may become white when loading text + JPGs into it? Sometimes it happens to me, sometimes not. I haven't figured out why. If you have any clues... The AS I'm using:
I'm using a OOP model I read about called 'model-view-controller' - so I've got three main classes at work and then a few more additional classes I felt were necessary. I'm building a kind of game.I'm at the stage now where most of the programming is done. The game essentially works. Now all I gotta do is add the visual stuff - the animation and graphics. I asked myself if to draw up all the graphics as separate external swf files which would be loaded into the game via my View class; or would a better method be just doing all the graphics and animation directly inside the fla file, storing all MovieClips and Buttons, etc. as symbols in the library (exported for ActionScript 3.0).
I'm curious to know if this is an issue of mere personal preference, or if there are pros and cons for each method of work - external swf files loading into Flash vs. storing the graphics as symbols in the fla. file library.
I used this tut to create a menu. [URL] And my question is; Can I make the slider to move after a movie clip symbols instead of button symbols? That way my menu would be animated.
I'm working through a book called Foundation Game Design with Flash, and I'm finding the Flash IDE confusing. I've been programming for several years, so working with AS3 directly is far easier than trying to understand symbols and nested symbols and the difference between graphics and movie clips and scoping issues and all that -- when tied into the IDE.
How many of you who are making games in AS3 also use the Flash IDE? Can anyone recommend a resource that is AS3 heavy and Flash IDE light? I don't care how much time I may or may not save by using things like the timeline, I just want to understand what I'm using.
I'm attempting to use CS4 (PC/Vista, if that matters) to create a SWF file that will basically act as a "library" of commonly used symbols. This SWF would be loaded at runtime by other SWFs, which could then use the symbols within it, including all art and code assets.
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?
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 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.
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.
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 a chinese page to upload in web..normally the file size is 15 to 20 kb, but when i embed the character(glyphs) the file size will be more than 7mb, so i cant load my page in web....Do u have any solutions for this.the page is in as2. The reason of embeding character is my page is flip book type...when i flip the text will be rotate, that time the txet is not appear....if i embed character the text is appear when i flip......
