I've got some text coming in from a database. I get:
' " " instead of single and double quotes.
I'm not sure that all fonts even support left and right double quotation marks (?).
at any rate... is there a relatively simple way to resolve this? maybe scanning the strings for the character entities and replacing them with single or double quotes?
does anyone know if Flash can recognize the ASCII entity number (e.g. ') more readily than the ASCII entity name (e.g. &rsquo?? That may be a moot point as i would have to somehow convert/replace with the entity number anyways..

I'm helping w/ the website at our church and came across the "Flash Random Quotes" tutorial here on kirupa.com at:url..How can I do something like this, but I want the quotes to randomly display about every 10 seconds, as long as the page is open.I don't want to only have one, single random quote on page load.I'm tasked to have a random display of ongoing "testimonies" on our church website. Right now, I'm using jquery, but it's quirky (as you can see below), but the worst thing is, it isn't random - it loads the testimonies in order that they are listed in the sidebar.php file. So, everybody that visits reads the same few testimonies at the beginning, and doesn't see the other ones.I'd rather try and use Flash to pull random testimonies from the quotes file ... but I don't want it to only show one ... I want it to show a random testimony, then about 10 seconds later, show another random one, etc.

I'm currently trying to make a basic escape the room game in Flash, and for some reason the last couples of entries I have made for the code aren't working.

View 1 RepliesI have a flash site that users can view full Screen video. the trouble is, I am making only the video player full screen (hiding the rest of the site behind it).
my "toggle full screen" button works in that it reduces the video player back to normal size when the user toggles out of full screen back.
but when the user hits the escape key, my flash script doesn't know that the video player should be reduced in size.
it seems there's no way to capture the ESCAPE key as a key event
I am scripting a button and something like this: _root.READ = ("image6"); takes me exactly where I want, the frame labeled "image6" However i want to reuse this button and I want to switch it to something like: _root.READ = (trace(this._name)); where it calls upon the instance name (image6). However, this doesn't work, and I believe it's because there are no quotes around the word. Is there someway I can output what the trace calls and put it in quotes?

I used the fscommand("fullscreen",true) in my application to make it fullscreen. However when the user presses the Escape key, the window goes into the normal view. Is there any way of disabling the Escape key to make my movie in fullscreen all the time? and the only way to quit the movie is my clicking the label I created 'Exit' with the AS command fscommand("quit");

what i am trying to do is add in a key event listener for the escape key, so that if the user hits esc instead of the button, it will also reset the button's 'normal view' settings

I have a CSV file that's being imported by users. I'm casting it to a string and splitting it up into an array using the line ending. The issue is, inside the quotes may be a line ending that I need to ignore. The RegExp I'm using to split the string is..
