Flash :: Double Quotations: Escape Character For Xml?

Double Quotations: Escape Character For Xml?
I'm pretty new to xml concept. Anyway I was playing around with xml/flash and thought of use the double quotations with escape character to see the effect something like this xml file: example="blah blah blah "blah" and example='blah blah blah's blah' but Flash seem doesn't support the escape method. Is there any method that flash/xml will support the escape character?

Thanks,

jace

How Can I Escape An & Character In A Querystring
I am using Flash in conjunction with PERL to get data from a MySQL database, and have run into one little problem... some of the data I need to send to flash contains a & in the field. Is there an accepted way to escape it so flash doesn't break the string in the wrong place, or should I convert it to something else and change it back when it gets to flash? Any help would be appreciated

Flex2 Escape Character
Hey!

So I've been making a website in Flex2 lately. This website accesses some external .xml files on remote servers where I have no administrator access.

So one of the .xml files I need to use has "-"s between words. The node is called "game-view-top" and so this causes Flex2 to say "Access of undefined property top." & "Access of undefined property view.". Do you know of anyway to fix this problem?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Escape/unescape And Character Sets
Hi, I’m going nuts with this…

I have a question for you that you maybe have the answer to.
When using escape/unescape I get to encode/decode my text to use with url’s. You are with me this far..

The problem is: When I decode a character I get this result: C3%A5 for example. What puzzles me is that normally acharacter is encoded to two characters and not four.

And, these four characters does not seem to be the correct character when checking the standards.

Any ida why this is? Is there any character settings or similar in Flash?

I'm using this when communicating with PHP and as a result I get 2 wrong characters instead of the 1 correct one I am interrested in.

Javascript Bothers Double-byte Character Desplay
When I open a popup window with on(release) commande in a menu bar, all the Japanese characters in the bar (dynamic text) transforms into half-byte characters which causes display problems with non-Japanese OS PCs.

Even on Japanese OS, you can see double-byte transforms into single-byte. What can I do?

Random Quotations
I want to write a script that loads in a random quotation on every new visit to the page. My first thought was to create an array with all the quotes and use the Math.random function to load a different quote on each new page load.

However, I'm not quite sure on the best way to extract an element from the array and pass it to the textfield.

I'm using Flash MX 2004, AS 2.0.

Can anyone offer any help? Or possibly suggest an alternative solution?

Thanks

Various Quotations In Random Order?
Hi again...

I would like to have an ongoing 'movie' on my flash site where various quotations are displayed in random order. (So that you don't get the same quote every time you visit).

Any ideas on how to do this? Is it too complicated for a newbie like me?

Much thanks!

Adding Quotations To An Array
Hi,

I have an admin system that creates the following array in an XML file.

(valueOne, anotherValue, something else, another)

I need to take those values and add them to a combo box. However they first need to be converted to be:

("valueOne", "anotherValue", "something else", "another")

Is there a simple way I can take the values of an array and convert them to be comma delimitated and in quotations ?

Thanks
Stephen

Dynamic Text Box - Useing Quotations Within
I have problem and didn't know if there was a simple solution. I would like to use AS to fill the contents of a dynamic text box but I want to include quotations. such as

mytext.text = " The man said "Howdy."";

but of course the quotes cause problems with that. I know I could call an external text file to do this, and perhaps even use a variable that has a value of a " but didn't know if there was something obvious I was missing.

Thanks!

Double My Array? Double The Fun
HEY!
Have a nice random array here courtesy of Pixelwit from this site but i need the numbers to duplicate in the array..as an example, instead of the array saying...
[7, 4, 23, 14, etc]
it would double them...
[7, 7, 4, 4, 23, 23, 14, 14, etc]
Below is the code...i'm too much of a newbie so far to make it work, any help would be great!

The & Character In Flash...how To Use URLs That Contain The & Character...
I am loading in an array or urls from my database via php into my flash movie.

the output of my script looks like this:

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
&id=1,&imagelist=1.jpg,&urls=http://www.homemade.ch/shop/100/conliste.asp?langext=&katno=8|&titles=Silence|&com ments=Silence, a painting by Bea Fehr|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

problem is that the url contains the '&' character, which Flash uses to seperate the variables....

ex:

http://www.homemade.ch/shop/100/con...angext=&katno=8

but problem is that it is being read into flash as this:
http://www.homemade.ch/shop/100/con_liste.asp?langext=

becuase Flash cuts it off when he see the '&' sign.

How can I workaround this problem, has to be a common issue I would guess since lots of URLs have this format....?

Do I need to write some parsing code?

Escape()?
hi all,

I'm having a problem with transferring data by url ... since the strings may contain non-alphanumeric characters they must be encoded (url-encoded). I've checked the docs and it says escape() would do it. The folling doesn't work though:

loadVariablesNum ("gb.php?Name=" add encode(name.text) add "&Entry=" add encode(entry.text), 0);

Strange thing I've seen that the function escape() doesn't have a return value - so where is the result after calling the function?

Thanks a bunch.

How Can I Get ESCAPE Key?
I need to close dialog window when user presses ESCAPE on the keyboard.
(see blue menu button in Matter of Time )
I can get any key except ESCAPE. But it only happens in the browser window!
It works fine in Flash player. It looks like IE doesn't send the ESCAPE key code to the Flash object.
How can I fix it?

This is a snapshot of my code:
// create keyboard listener to control Esc key
var keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function()
{
trace(Key.getCode())
}
Key.addListener(keyListener);

Trapping The Escape Key
Help me! I am working on a CD-Rom that will run in fullscreen mode. If the escape key is pressed the player will revert to windowed mode. What I need to do is trap the pressing of the escape key so that the normal application behaviour is prevented and I can use my own custom code.

I already know about Key.ESCAPE and all that malarky. It just doesn't seem to work.

Any help appreciated.

Capturing The Escape Key
Hello all,

Here's a really simple question (I guess) - I am really new to MX and am experiencing troubles to switch from flash 5...

Well, what used to be easy as a song has now turned (for me) into the dark pitchs of horror : I want to prevent any use of the ESCAPE key.

I am *clueless* on where to go from that : do I have to create a "listener" ? Where should I put it ??

Thanx for any help, and sorry for the low-level of my question (darn, to say I thought it would be easy to switch to MX!) ;)

Escape Symbols
Hi,

Any actionscript gurus can help me solved my problem?

The situation is currently I have a flash application on the web, which process a jsp script at the back end. Using the sendAndLoad() to send my variable pass. However 1 of my field contain a special character '&'. Thus now i need to escape my this variable before posting it to my server side script. However when the server side retrieved my variables, all the escape symbol is not unescape, thus storing them into my database with those escape symbol.

So hopefully there are some gurus can help me solved this problems without unescaping the variables at the serverside script??

Thanks a million!!

URL Encode (escape) '
I'm trying to URL encode an apostrophe (') the value I need it to come out as (and what it comes out as in PHP) is %5C%27. However, when I use the escape command in Flash it equates an apostrophe to %27. I figured out that %5C%27 means ', I don't know why it comes out like this in PHP becuase I'm only URLencoding '. At any rate, when I use escape in flash on the characters ' I still only get %27 not %5C%27. I've also tried manually typing in %5C%27 into the getURL in flash but it translates it to ' for me.

Does anyone know how I can get %5C%27 into the URL in flash?

Disable Escape Key
Hi..
I have a Flash movie that is going to run fullscreen as an EXE on the PC (fullscreen=true, resize=false). If a user presses the Escape Key, I want it to go and replay the movie instead of making fullscreen=false. So I used this command on a clipEvent:

AS
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(27)) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("begin");
}
}
/AS

"27" is supposed to be the numeric equivalent to the Escape key. But this ClipEvent still does not override the Escape key getting rid of the fullscreen. Is there any way to override the Escape key from doing this?
