Flash :: Embedding And Displaying Chinese/japanese
Oct 15, 2010
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.

So I've got a basic actionscript text generator:Additional details:(you'll probably need japanese font loaded to read this)what is supposed to look like "The sign readsnstead loads as "The sign reads I don't understand why the english aspect of the fonts are loading but the Japanese symbols are failing - even if I set up an off stage textbox with the same kanji symbols embedded.
this.createTextField("tLabel", this.getNextHighestDepth(), pointx, pointy, 280, 70);this.createTextField("aLabel", this.getNextHighestDepth(), pointx, pointy + 75, 220, 50);this.createTextField("bLabel", this.getNextHighestDepth(), pointx + 80, pointy + 75,

So I am trying to embed some simplified Chinese into my flash file. When I turn off embed fonts the flash file is fine. If I add simplified chinese char set it makes the swf massive. Is there a way to embed a smaller character set than the ones flash offers. Standard English Characters if I add all the characters and pnctuation amount to 106, simplified Chinese is 11,218 it just is not doable.
So
(i) Can I smooth html text in flash
or
(ii) Can I used a reduced character set?

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.

I'm on a mac using CS5/AS3 and I'm having trouble getting the symbol to display in a dynamic textfield embedded with a Chinese font (Hei - but others fail as well). I can type the symbol into the textfield in the authoring tool, the problem occurs when dynamically populating the textfield via XML at runtime. I have tried multiple Chinese fonts, multiple encoding types in the XML (unicode, html, etc) and all characters are embedded properly as far as I can tell. I'm not having font trouble in general, all other characters and symbols I have tried work fine except for the registered trademark,

Instead of having this issue, I would like to embed the image once, and then repeatedly reference the embedded object. I'm not exactly sure how to do this. From what I've read online, doing the following should work[code]...

I'm trying to add some animation into my flex application, so I've made an animated .swf that I want to embed into the application. The problem I'm having is if I use a SWFLoader, it comes up with a solid background colour, the same as the container window, I can't seem to get rid of this,
I have searched the internet thoroughly for a resolution and spent an entire day at work unable to sort this problem out. I am using Flex 3.2 sdk and Adobe Air 1.5.0
Embedding as a symbol is also a possiblity I've tried, and would prefer to do it that way if possible as it will make it easier to add code to stop/start the animation at different positions.
The component I am adding the animation to is a TitleWindow, not sure if thats relevant but maybe it makes a difference!

I have been trying to embed a font into a project I am working and its just not happening. I am having 2 problems first I am trying to embed a font that I do not have installed on my machine (Helvetica Neue Bold), I do have a copy of the otf file though. As far as I know what I have tried should work however when I run the swf I only get Times New Roman. From the enumerated fonts I can see the font has embedded but it just wont show. Secondly if I replace the Helvetia font with one I do have on my machine (Arial for example) the text displays with the correct font but if I then set embedFonts = true the text disappears.
Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
[Code] .....

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.

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 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).

I've created a "Poster Maker" in Flex. The text part of the poster is written inside a TLF-based RichEditableText component. Users can choose the font for the text using a ComboBox which lists all the device fonts on the computer.
All works well, until Chinese users try to apply a Chinese font and it doesn't work. Here's a screencast of the problem (just over 1 min long). In it you can see I can write Chinese in WordPad and apply the two different Chinese fonts I have on the PC without any problems. When I switch to the Flex app and try the same it doesn't work.I'm at a loss as to why this won't work. The change event of the font picker ComboBox looks like this:
var txtLayFmt:TextLayoutFormat = editor.getFormatOfRange(null,
editor.selectionAnchorPosition,
editor.selectionActivePosition
);
[code]....
Where selectedItem.font is the fontname of the font and is what you see as the label in the ComboBox.

I need to add some Japanese characters into AS in Flash within a function such as
function my_clean_char(x) { var okchars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ天平七年随我朝使帰朝不獲一簣玄蕃頭従五位上袁晋卿賜姓清村宿禰亦所不顧" okchars += "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz天平七年随我朝使帰朝不獲一簣玄蕃頭従五位上袁晋卿賜姓清村宿禰亦所不顧" okchars += "0123456789" okchars += "-, ()." if(okchars.indexOf(x) >= 0) { return true } else { return false }}
this displays ok within this forum but in the AS all I see is small boxes where the japanese characters are. Anyway to fix this?
