I'm working on a banner for a client. When working on CS4 it displayed the Myriad Pro font in dynamic textfields. But in CS5 the textfields turn up blank. The font i embedded correctly but doesn't show up. Myriad Pro Regular works like a charm, but Myriad Pro Bold doesn't show up at all. Sometimes when i open up the fla in cs5 some text have graphic fault looking all stretched and tweaked. Restarting Cs5 a few times removes the graphic errors
I'm trying to embed and display text using the "Myriad Pro" family. 'Regular', 'Bold', and 'Light' display ok, but 'Semibold' shows no text. I get no error messages. I use exacty the same procedure as for the other styles. E.g. the following:
I have a dynamic text field. I want to use Myriad Pro Semibold font. I have installed the font in my system too. But the font list in the flash does not display this font .
I can't seem to get the Copyright symbol to display with Myriad Pro. The font embeds properly and displays fine, just the � symbol won't show up. I've tried:
- Embedding an swf with the font embedded in it with the '�' set to be included, when I export it the symbol is there.
- Embedding the otf file for the typeface.
- Tried embedding other typefaces otf files.
Actionscript Code: FontEmbed.as: [Embed(source='fonts/myriad/MyriadPro-Semibold.otf', fontWeight='semibold', fontFamily = "Myriad Pro", mimeType='application/x-font')]public static var MyriadSemibold:Class; public function FontEmbed(){ Font.registerFont(MyriadSemibold);} public static var MYRIAD_SEMIBOLD:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Myriad Pro Semibold", 24, 0x000000,
[code]....
I get the full line of text, so it seems like it's an embedding issue.
I am having issue with my created flash, it can't handle chinese characters? is there some way i can handle this thru code? or should there be any font or language pack installed
1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc... 2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears. 3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but let me know if I am wrong about this. I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below..
I saw most of the games on facebook having a 3D character that you can dress up and rotate perfectly. Does flash CS4 have the power to do this? If yes, then can anyone help me or give me a link to a tutorial or any site out there that discuss this kind of tech
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 have created a dynamic text box which is used to put the length of a sound clip (which is worked out using AS2).
I want to use a font which isn't standard - VAGRounded, so I need to embed the characters.
If I select Family : VAGRounded and Style : thin then all is well. Ditto if I pick style:light but if I pick Style:bold or Style:black then the nothing displays
In my windows font folder all 4 appear to exist.
I notice that exactly the same appears to happen with the times font too (except some of the family options are different)
When I open the font-mapping box it tells me that there aer some fonts that I can't use but there is not list of what they are.
I've imported a font as a font symbol. In its linkage I selected export for actionscript.This works for my dynamic text. However I've noticed that not all characters are embedded.See attached example.On top I've got a static textfield with the following text:â–ª Some text with a square in front of itAt the bottom a dynamic textfield with the following code:

I have my language/local set to Korean; also, I.E 8 has encodings for utf-8 set.(Same problem when viewed in Firefox vs 2.0.0.12) It is an English version of Windows XP, SP2 (all the latest patches installed - excluding SP3) This problem exists with a number of web sites; the attached file shows an example: the flash display (located line +5 from the top) does not display korean characters in the right box, yet, the left box is fine, note, this problem is illustrated elsewhere on this page. the URL is [url]..
I am working on a Flex app that has a MySQL database. Data is retrieved from the DB using PHP then I am using AMFPHP to pass the data on to FlexThe problem that I am having is that the data is being copied from Word documents which sometimes result in some of the more unusual characters are not displaying properly. For example, Word uses different characters for starting and ending double quotes instead of just " (the standard double quotes). Another example is the long dash instead of -.All of these characters result in one or more accented capital A characters appearing instead. Not only that, each time the document is saved, the characters are replaced again resulting in an ever-increasing number of these accented A's appearing.
Doing a search and replace for each troublesome character to swap it for one of the none characters seems to work but obviously this requires compiling a list of all the characters that may appear and means there is scope for this continuing as new characters are used for the first time. It also seems like a bit of a brute force way of getting round the problem rather than a proper solution.Does anyone know what causes this and have any good workarounds / fixes? I have had similar problems when using utf-8 characters in html documents that aren't set to use utf-8. Is this the same thing and if so, how do I get flex to use utf-8?
I am looking for a way to escape utf-8 charachters using actionscript 2? As far as I know, in flash it uses utf-16 while on javascript it uses utf-8. I am looking for a similar escaping method.
I am trying to display some special characters through a dynamic textfield...but the characters are not displaying.I have linked an Arial font symbol...and opened the character embedding opition window to provide which glyphs I wish to embed..
ActionScript Code: var myFont:Font1=new Font1(); var txtFormat:TextFormat=new TextFormat();[code]........
I've got an XML-RPC server-client setup with Flash as the front-end and Delphi as the back-end. I'm essentially sending Strings which contain XML to Flash from Delphi. It's working without any real issues but one: Sometimes the Delphi side needs to send a ">" or "<" character in a string (e.g. "dn < ds").
This causes a problem when I try to convert the string to XML because Flash interprets that as malformed (the ">" or "<" could signify a tag). Will I have to comb the string for any occurrences and then escape them (as in "%gt;" for ">" and "%lt;" for "<") myself, or is there possibly some built-in method of dealing with those?
I've been looking on several fourms but have yet to find the answer to how to fix special characters. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but if someone could point me there. I looked at the fourm on kirupa but it didn't solve my problem. Right know my dynamic text has & a p o s; in it. My xml file is encoding="UTF-8" and I used System.useCodepage = true; but still no luck. I also embedding my font.
then it still looks at what I made, I created 3 dynamics fields, I gave to the name in var pra it. - nomeProduto - - descProduto - - produto- to that I made in AS, to pull the texts of the HTML PARAM.
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.
I have to embed VAGRounded bold. I can't seem to get it to work reliably. I have created 4 dynamic text boxes, one for each of the 4 styles and embedded the characters into each one for the 4 versions of the font. I then wrote some text directly into the boxes on the stage.
I created a 5th dynamic box and called it "test". I set the family to VAG ROunded, style:bold (ie just like one of the ones above). I then embedded the characters into it.
I added this dead simple as2
Code:
stop(); test.text="hello"
THis 5th text box looks NOTHING like the bold one from above, as you can see in the attached image.
