Flash :: Alphabetizing Spanish

The Spanish While Loop
the ever elusive spanish while loop(inside a function):

ActionScript Code:


function ExaminarTexto(Texto, Buscar, remplazar) {
 //trace("hola")
 Posicion = Texto.indexOf(Buscar);
 while (Posicion != -1) {
 Cadena1 = Texto.slice(0, (Posicion));
 Cadena2 = Texto.slice((Posicion+3));
 Texto = Cadena1+remplazar+Cadena2;
 Posicion = Texto.indexOf(Buscar);
 }
 return (Texto);
}


if your boss has never dropped FLAs on you that are coded in spanish be prepared. it's not as bad as it looks. they're just variables right?

notice what the dude uses for his trace() testing. lol.

Spanish Flash
OY!

Question: I got a .fla off the interweb of a verticle scroller that can scroll both text and movieclips... My only prob is that the actionscript is in spanish. I can work around it, but it'll just make everything ALOT easier if it was in english.

Is there any way :::cough GOTEN cough::: someone who speaks the el spanish could translate it for me?

Ill totally paypal you a buck fitty.

...heres the code-age:

ActionScript Code:
//aquí y entre comillas escribimos el nombre de instancia del elelmonto que queremos desplazar
var mi_objetivo:String = "plan";
stop();

ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent(load){
var objetivo:String = _parent.mi_objetivo;//entre comillas aquí escribe
var sostenido:Boolean = false;
var razon:Number = this._parent._parent[objetivo]._height / this._height;
var deslizar:Number;
razon = int(razon);
}

on(press){
startDrag(this, false, this._parent.barra._x, this._parent.barra._y, this._parent.barra._x + this._parent.barra._width, this._parent.barra._y + this._parent.barra._height - this._height);
this.sostenido = true;
}

on(release){
stopDrag();
this.sostenido = false;
}

onClipEvent(mouseMove){
if(this.sostenido){
deslizar = (this._y - this._parent.barra._y);
deslizar = int(deslizar);
this._parent._parent[objetivo]._y = -(razon * deslizar) / 2;
}
}

Spanish Path Problem
Hi there,

I made a simple flash cd-rom presentation loading variables and jpeg's. (all files in the root level)

Everything is fine, if I copy my app to one directory, ex:

c:presentationa.exe (flash executable)
a.txt
a.jpg

It can load the dynamic content files..ok, but if I change the directory name to a non english name, like 'c:apresentación' or 'c:apresentação', the movie can´t load the files.

Is it an already known flash player bug?
Any ideas to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Using Spanish Special Characters
I have written a flash quiz using a tutorial. The quiz draws it's questions from a text file. When I use Spanish special characters
( ñ á é í ) , the file isn't read correctly. I believe this is becuase of the ampersand that is used to represent these characters confuses the function. Any ideas???? Thanks.

[F8] Switching From English To Spanish In Xml
So, my developers threw some spanish into our content XML and now the XML won't load. Take the special Spanish characters (Ááó) out and it loads just fine. I found one reference that suggested switching the encoding to UTF-8, but it still ignores most of the content.

What am I missing?

Spanish Characters Nightmare
First of all I have to say hi, since I new at the forums though I heve been a reader I have a weird thing going on with the spainsh characters, wich have given me a lot of headaches in the past, by the way.

Ok, this the issue. I have a file taht loads the rss feeds of an external website. It works like charm but I had to solve the issue with the spanish characters (á, é, í,ó, ú, ñ etc. ) as I always do, going to the text field and embeding them. I use the “for readability” option an it all works fine. Works whaen I publish the file all alone, Buuuuttt…..

When I put the same file into another (via loadMovie) or attach it from the libary or just simply put it into another movie clip, the spanish characters won’t show….

I have tried the usecode stuff but is not solving the thing. Ideas?

Isn't it weird tha a file that works fine starts to behave weird when is loaded into a movieclip
(Man!, I’m so tired of that problems with those characters… someone at adobe please do something!) In case someone at adobe reads this

Spanish Accents Not Displayed
Hi
When I receive xml that includes spanish accents using XMLSockets, the accents are replaced with a square eg. aquï¿½ra instead of aquÃpara.
I am trying to dispaly the xml in the trace window so it should not be font dependant. I can paste the accents into a text box in the swf and it displays correctly. I have tested the xml server using VB.net at both ends and the text appears correctly. It seems to be when Flash decodes the xml. Can you suggest a work around to this.

Cheers

Spanish Accents? Parsing And Displaying
Hi! I'm developing a word game, which is going to pull data from a mySQL database. Unfortunately for me, there are going to be Spanish accents stored as numbers (example: the word "hello" will be in an array of words and be stored as "he3llo" - which will mean that there is an accent over the e). I need to find out how to parse the words and then how to display them with the accents (is there a Spanish set in Flash?). If anyone knows anything, even just a link or something, I would be a very happy lady! Thanks for your help! Oh and let me know if I'm being unclear also.

Spanish Language Text Emergency
Hi,

[MX / MX 2004]

This is an emergency...

We have a flash site in two languages, english and spanish.

All the textfields are dynamic - they each have a Var that is defined in textfields and URL encoded. Theres lots and lots of them in lots and lots of diff movie clips.

Currently none of them have Latin I (388 Glyphs) included in the character/specifiy ranges. They need this for Spanish. The o with the line over the top for example (dont speak spanish, sorry).

I have noticed that adding latin in for characters will include it for all textfields at that level (I think???? - Its very confusing)...

Is theyre anyway of including the latin for ALL textfields in all the clips without going through each one by one (hours of work)...

I REALLY hope someone can help!!!

Thanks,

Tim.

Actionscript Spanish/english Translation And/or Help
I downloaded the latest mp3 player in movies, and it works great. Thanks, Mikel, and awesome work! Thing is, I don't speak spanish, and I am a rank amateur at scripting. I was hoping that some kind-hearted bilingual person could give me a hand. I would like to have the player go to and play the next song in the array when a song ends, you know, like a CD or a playlist, that kind of thing. I got my own songs loaded in with no problem, but I can't seem to find the portion of the code where I would change something to make it continuous play, rather than repeating one song over and over until the "next" button is pressed.

Here's the code:

Code:
i=0;
sonando="false";
listaCanciones = new Array("tunes/sickness.mp3", "tunes/hungry.mp3", "tunes/back.mp3", "tunes/99.mp3", "tunes/long.mp3", "tunes/resort.mp3", "tunes/jungle.mp3", "tunes/insane.mp3", "tunes/hot.mp3", "tunes/fight.mp3", "tunes/heyya.mp3", "tunes/closer.mp3");
sonarCancion();
equal_mc.gotoAndPlay("play");
equal1_mc.gotoAndPlay("play");
equal2_mc.gotoAndPlay("play");

function sonarCancion(){
if (sonando=="false"){
song.stop();
song=new Sound();
song.loadSound (listaCanciones[i],true);
song.setVolume(100);
song.onSoundComplete=function(){
song.loadSound (listaCanciones[i],true);
song.setVolume(100);
}
equal_mc.gotoAndPlay("play");
equal1_mc.gotoAndPlay("play");
equal2_mc.gotoAndPlay("play");
sonando="true";
} else {
song.stop();
sonando="false";
}
}
function pararCancion(){
song.stop();
sonando="false";
equal_mc.gotoAndPlay("stop");
equal1_mc.gotoAndPlay("stop");
equal2_mc.gotoAndPlay("stop");
}
function siguienteCancion(){
if (i<(listaCanciones.length-1)){
i++;
}else {
i=0;
}
sonando="false";
sonarCancion();
}
function anteriorCancion(){
if (i>0){
i--;
}else{
i=listaCanciones.length-1;
}
sonando="false";
sonarCancion();
}
Is it something simple, like changing some "[i]" to [i+1] or similar, maybe in the onSoundComplete part? I will go try that now, and see if it works. Thanks in advance to anyone who would care to jump in and point me in the right direction here.

Spanish Characters Not Showing When Dynamic
I'm hoping someone can help me with this irritating problem. We have developed several Flash Movies which have been translated in to three languages. In order to facilitate this we put all the content in the ActionScript and then populate the text boxes dynamically. Things went well and our Spanish client accepted our work, but since then he has discovered that on some computers the Spanish characters are not rendering and are leaving the square character.

I came up with a number of solutions which might fix the issue and asked him to test them on a computer exhibiting this behavior and found the following:

Changing the HTML to be UTF-8 encoded: No effect
Embedding all the character sets: No effect
Changing the text to be static and not dynamically entered: Fixed the issue

Now I REALLY don't want to go through the half a dozen flash movies putting in all the text statically, because I am going to have to do it for Spanish and probably later on in Czech as well. Does anyone have any brainwaves?

Thanks in advance.

Problems Loading XML Spanish Into Flash
I'm having major issues with loading Spanish characters from an XML document into Flash text boxes. I have embedded just about EVERY font and it works on my machine but not online.
I have tried setting the XML document encoding to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding='iso-8859-1'?>
...and this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8'?>
...still nothing.

Perhaps it has something to do with the HTML that holds the swf? I have tried both encoding types above there too, but nothing.

Formatted Text W/ Spanish Unicode
Hi -
I'm getting some very unreliable results with this code. Most of it is taken from the formattedText.fla in the Flash 8 Samples folder (which didn't work either) and sometimes it works and then it doesn't. Sometimes I'll see the styled text and then next I'll see raw html code. Sometimes I even get the word "content=" from the text file.

The text field "description_t" is on the stage, not by AS, dynamic ta with html selected.

I'm wondering if some of the problem is due to the text file that I'm loading has some Spanish accented vowels that I've replaced with Unicode entities. If I leave the accented vowels I get strange symbols in the final swf. I've saved the content text file as Unicode -UTF-8 encoding with Unicode line breaks.

I don't know what else to try. Please help.
TIA your expertise.

Building An A3 Game In English And Spanish
I'm building a fairly in-depth online game for a client, and it has to be in both english and spanish. We're building the english version first. Only certain aspects will be affected by the spanish version: non-synched mp3 voice-over, some synched voice (probably embedded movie-clips with linkages), some text, and some of the buttons and splash screens. I'm trying to decide how to best structure the files to accommodate both languages, while at the same time trying to keep this from becoming 2 separate applications (to minimize effort as a result of change requests).

Does anyone have any suggestions? Even though much of the assets are common between the 2 programs, certain things are not. I don't want to get bogged down in code specifying which assets are and aren't shared, so I'm wondering if i need to have 2 of everything with a naming convention.

Or should I have a "shared" resource movieclip, a spanish resource movieClip, and an english resource movieClip and pull assets accordingly?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Spanish Cahracters Not Showing Properly
hi everybody, i want to upload some news to a flash site from php and show them in dinamyc text boxes

the text shows well and everything is so beautiful but as some of you know spanish has a very few special characters that english dont, such as Ñ á,é,í,ó,ú,ä,ë,ï,ö,ü

instead of these characters i get squares, i guess there is some encoding option that im missing, ive been reading some tuts and tried changing the char range and playing with html property and textformat object but i dont get it to work

im sure someone has had this problem before but didnt have luck searching the forum either, any help will bw be appreciated

cheers

Spanish Characters In Flash 8 Form
I cannot get an email form to recognize spanish characters (á,é, í, ó, ú, ñ, Ñ). I'm copying the form from a previous flash site I did on Flash MX. I'm also including the "system.useCodepage = true;" code on the first frame of the movie.

When the message is sent the characters are displayed incorrectly.

Is there a workaround for Flash 8 since many of old the coding changed in the new release??

URL-encoding Spanish Character Problem
I'm trying to URL-encode a text file (for pulling into Flash) to render Spanish characters.

The problem is nothing is rendering properly.

Here is just one example:
&nav1=miP%C1GINA-INICIAL

It is showing miPINA-INICIAL.

I have saved as UNICODE and UTF-8, but neither are working. Any ideas?

thanks

Translating From English To Spanish Can't Find The Text In The Fla Yet See In Swf
translating from English to Spanish but can't find certain text in the fla yet see it in the published swf?

In other words, I am successfully translating all the symbol files in the library, on the stage and on the timeline as well. I also looked for actionscript but don't know it well enough to rule it out. When I look at the new swf it has some english that still needs translation?
