I'm having problems with Flex (3.5) auto converting "ü" into a "u". As soon as I paste the character in, it transforms.Is there something I need to turn on to enable these other character sets? I thought Flex supported UTF-8?
View 6 RepliesMy Flash AS3 application includes input TextFields. The user can choose from an array of fonts to use. These fonts are loaded at runtime from external SWFs. In order to support as many languages as possible, and to avoid having to load many MBs of foreign-language glyphs, I've included the "_sans" and "_serif" fonts. So, the idea is that a Russian user can type Cyrillic characters, or an Israeli can type Hebrew, when they select one of these two fonts.
Here's my problem: A Hebrew user has reported that they cannot type Hebrew characters into the TextField (only squares appear). BUT, when they copy-and-paste Hebrew text into the TextField, it DOES appear. This seems to prove that the Flash Player is able to find the appropriate glyphs on the user's system. But the user can't type them directly. If you've encountered this, have you tried a successful work-around, such as providing some kind of virtual keyboard interface?
I have an input text TextField in my movieclip instance but the text field just won't accept all my characters. I can enter for example character 'e', but pressing for example key 'p' won't work. Movie clip and it's TextField child is created in flash editor but I am creating an instance of this MC in my AS3 document class.If I set keyboard event handler, it catches all the keyboard events, but the are just not shown in InputText field? I am using default Arial and Helvetica fonts.

View 3 RepliesI am developing a Flex based window application. In that I have used a textArea, Now when I type some characters like ctrl+b, ctrl+e or ctrl+q, it shows some square characters in text area, I think these are some unicode characters but why these are being entered.
Unlike in simple textArea control on adobe example when I presses these key combination, there is nothing being entered, so why this only with me.
This is my window setup code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I have a text field (for names) wich must allow all characters, except latin numbers, is this possible? I can't think of a regex for this
View 2 RepliesSo I have this font that has 2 different styling for numbers. So for examle, the unicode for the number 1 is "U+0031", however the font contains another number 1 whose unicode is "U+0031 case sensative forms (case)". Is there a way I can display the second version of that character?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a website in php made for local Thai people. The website somehow uses links with Thai characters in them. The problem is when I click the link in flash it navigates to instead of "http://localhost/THAI TEXTS-108-0-region-3.html". When I tested this with Internet Explorer, it understands the unicode text in a link and navigate me to the correct link. In fact the flash understands the thai unicode characters because when I tried to create a dynamic text field, it could print out the correct thai characters on the flash.So it seems to be that this is the problem with flash failing to talk to Firefox API. I'm guessing either URLRequest object or navigateToURL function does not take unicode texts
btn_north.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, eventLink_btn_north);
function eventLink_btn_north(event:MouseEvent):void {
var url:String = "/THAI TEXTS-108-0-region-3.html";

I'm trying to gather a Unicode list of all the 'o' like shapes in the Hindi character-set. In fact, a list of any characters (in any language) that makes uses of separate characters to indicate an accent would be better.I intend to use this unicode-list in a RegExp.I been trying to edit a list of character-ranges by outputting them in an Input TextField, but editing this text causes weird issues (the keyboard-cursor isn't place on the correct character, selections suddenly dissappear / incorrectly warps... in other words... HINDI HELL!)
I've tried this with Notepad++ too, but although it was more responsive, it eventually crapped out on me like it did in the Flash Player textfield. This seems to occur especially while removing the [] block (nulls?) characters. Some of them trigger odd behaviors.
I have a problem with special characters showing up in my as3. I need "�" to show in the subject of the email.My code is:

I was trying to use a unicode character.
My issue is thus: If I use an embedded unicode font in a textfield and set embedFonts = true when displaying characters like mandarin or IPA phonetic spelling characters, certain characters will disapear from the textfield.

I have a flash app and a textfield in it. I can change locale on the system tray and type unicode characters, for example with windows -1251 encoding. If I use jquery to send the unicoded text to save to database, how does it get there, as windows-1251 encoded or other encoding, like UTF-8?
Or lets just say with which encoding it get to jquery at first?
I'm having a weird problem with AS3/CS5: I have a textfield, and I'm playing around with focusing on it at various points. At one point,I set focus to the textfield (which only accepts 1 character), then add an Event.CHANGE listener to it. This works fine, except when I type the letter 'a' (or 'A'). Nothing happens until I click on the text field and type 'a.' I don't have to do the second click with any other character, and before I do the second click, the cursor is blinking in the box. Not sure what to do...

Is there any way? I thought "maxChars" was promising until I learned it was only for inputting text to a textfield.The XML is coming into a dynamic text box. I need to cut it off at say 500 characters and add an ellipsis.

View 2 RepliesI 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?

View 1 RepliesIs there some easy way to restrict TextInput to accept decimal numbers in range -99.999999 to +99.999999 ?
it is Spark TextInput.
I need to write a method doing a formatting of numeric value given a pattern as one of the parameter, in actionscript.
For example:
a. 12345.00 using format pattern ###,###.## resulting 12,345.00
b. 12345.00 using format pattern ##,##,##.## resulting 1,23,45.00
Initially, I thought that NumberFormatter able to do that, but after reading documentation, it seems you are not able to accept pattern.
how to implement this ? I'm using Flex 4.1
UPDATE: I made an advanced formatter based on the sample created by Jason. You can download it here : link
I have an input textfield nested inside a movieclip, i embedded a set of characters but when i run the movie i can still input characters that were not part of the embedding list. The input text field has both an instance name and variable name. If i copy that text field into an empty fla file, it works correctly by not allowing character inputs that were not embedded.
