Flash :: Flash Recognizing Latin Characters

Non-latin Based Characters In Flash 5/MX
Hi All,

I have a project where my client has asked me to translate their Flash movies. Up until now this has seemed to be relatively painless as the languages I have been using are based on Latin character sets (French German Dutch Dannish etc...) however in a later batch I will need to use chienese Japanese characters. Eventhough I have the relevant fonts and have enabled all language support on my PC (Win2000) I can't get Flash 5/MX to recognise non-latin characters such as chienese/japanese/hebrew etc.

Does anyone know of a way I can get round this problem or set up my pc correctly. I can't use graphics created in another package (not fireworks as it seems to have inherited the same problems as Flash) as some of the strings are in ActionScript.

Many thanks to anybody who can spend some time on this, I am really stumped.

Latin Characters
I'm having a problem with latin characters loaded from an XML file.
Basicaly is when I load a ñ, Flash returns me a square, that means that flash don't recognize the character, so I decided to make it HTML with & n t i l d e ; and

ActionScript Code:
my_txt.html = true;

but the problem is at the end ot it, Flash render

& n t i l d e ; instead of ñ.

somebody know how to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance

P.S.
Sorry for the spaces on & n t i l d e ; but the browser recognize the code.

Latin Characters Are Not Showing Up
I'm using dynamic text fields, where I load from XML Latin text. I've selected to export outlines for pretty much everything "Latin" in Flash, yet still nothing is showing up when it comes to special charcters.

I also added

system.useCodepage = true;

and still nothing!!!

Input Text (Non-Latin Characters, Etc...)
hi all

someone told me this:

"to be able to load from a txt file and display correct the several non latin characters (üöä etc) you need to save the text file as .txt with UTF-8
encoding."

how can i do this so it displays the umlaute?

also does someone know how it is possible to display links in text-scrollers? i need a input txt.file to update news and need to know how i can insert links from there.
what i noticed too is that the standard text-scroller from mx allows the user to delete and edit the text. how can i disable this?

thank you very much for your help

ps: i saved the .txt-file as utf-8 central eurpean format, but still doesnt work in the input text. what do i need to do so it can display the äöü, etc???

XML - Loading Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) Characters?
Have some experience loading XML files, but this is a new issue to me. I see my accented characters displaying properly in my text editor. And I've confirmed that my font is OK in Flash by testing a dynamic text box--the accents in the test appear OK, so it's not the XML file or the font, it seems to be the XML loader itself.

My XML file looks like this (there are Latin accented characters in the text node:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<projects>
<project id="0">
<_iID>0</_iID>
<_sProjectDescription>La piratería es una práctica, tan antigua como la navegación misma, en la que una embarcación privada o una estatal amotinada ataca a otra en aguas internacionales o en lugares no sometidos a la jurisdicción de ningún Estado, con un propósito personal para robar su carga, exigir rescate por los pasajeros, convertirlos en esclavos y muchas veces apoderamiento de la nave misma.</_sProjectDescription>
</project>
</projects>

BUT, once Flash loads the XML, I trace it out and the output misses these characters:
<_sProjectDescription>La pirater?a es una pr?ctica, tan antigua como la navegaci?n misma, en la que una embarcaci?n privada o una estatal amotinada ataca a otra en aguas internacionales o en lugares no sometidos a la jurisdicci?n de ning?n Estado, con un prop?sito personal para robar su carga, exigir rescate por los pasajeros, convertirlos en esclavos y muchas veces apoderamiento de la nave misma.</_sProjectDescription>

Is this a known issue I don't know about? I can't find anything in the documentation and have scoured the web for hours for an answer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Below for reference is my load function for reference.Thanks.

SB

--

function loadXML()
{
trace("loadXML()");
map_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
map_xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) //handleLoad becomes a method of map_xml
{
if(success)
{
trace("loadXML: XML Status: " + map_xml.status);
trace("loadXML: XML load success. XML:");
trace(map_xml);
handleXMLLoad();
}
else
{
trace("loadXML: ***ERROR - map_xml.load FAILED.*** Status/Error code: "+ map_xml.status);
}
}
map_xml.load("xml/Map_data.xml"); //read from XML file.

[F8] Flash Not Recognizing My .FLA... HELP
i know this is a longshot, but i gotta ask...
I was working on one of my websites, and Flash pooped out on me for some reason (probably cause my cpu is about 1 day older than dirt), but i got the Debug/Close message, chose Close, then when i reopen Flash, and try to open the .FLA i was working on (which was a pretty intensive site), i get a "Unexpected file format" error...

does anyone have any clue of what i could even try to do to fix it??

even my latest backup is a week old and missing TONS of work...

TIA.

Recognizing If Someone Has Flash Installed?
I am building a web site for an advertising/marketing comapany and they want a flash banner and navigation at the top of the page. They also want a HTML-only version for some of their clients.

They suggested that I build a 'splash' page to offer a link to the flash and html pages.

However, I do not like that idea and was wondering if there is a script I can put on the main page to redirect them if a flash player is not found on their compter? That way clients can go straight to the main page, and if they can't view the flash navigation bar, it will re-direct them to the HTML pages.

Is what I am trying to accomplish possible? Are there any other solutions?

Thanks

Flash 8 Not Recognizing Fonts
I'm experiencing difficulties with Flash 8 not recognizing the majority of a font family.
Its strange because Photoshop & Illustrator recognize them & display them just fine.

The fonts involved my project include:
Helvetica
Helvetica Compressed
Helvetica Condensed
Helvetica Black
Helvetica Light
Helvetica Extra Compressed
Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica Neue
Helvetica Ultra Compressed

Of this list, Flash 8 is only recognizing:
Helvetica
Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica Neue

So at this point I'm having to literally type EVERYTHING out in Illustrator, export swfs, and import them into Flash.
This is obviously time consuming and makes simple text changes a pain.

I'm leaning towards the fact that this is a corrupt font issue, yet these fonts are available in every other software I've tried them in.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Any thoughts??

Thank you!!!

Flash Not Recognizing Fonts?
I have 10 variations of a font that I'm using for a Flash project. 6 of these are a true type font, and the other 4 have a big red "a" on them, and when I see the font it calls them a "type1" font. Never heard of that.

My problem is that Flash is only recognizing 5 variations of the font. 4 of them are true type fonts, the other 1 is a "type1" font.

Any ideas on how to make them all visible?

Thanks,

Brian

Desperate For Help, Flash Not Recognizing OnSoundComplete
I have a project I'm working on, a basic mp3 player. My problem is that the onSoundComplete event is never triggered. What it was doing when it was working was calling the playSong() function which starts a song, I commented that out and simply told it to write some text on the event, and it is just never triggered.

Here is the entire page of AS, it's not that long. Any help is greatly appreciated. Everything is working except for the onSoundComplete.

Edit: I wrote this in Flash Proffesional 8, and publishing it for Flash Player 7.

Code:
//Setup the sound object
var sObject:Sound = new Sound();
sObject.setVolume(75);

//Create an array that holds all our songs
var saUrl:Array = new Array();
var saTitle:Array = new Array();
var saSongID:Array = new Array();
var saImage:Array = new Array();
var saUserID:Array = new Array();
var saArtist:Array = new Array();

//Currently Playing Song
var sCurrentlyPlaying:Number = -1;

//Position of the music
var sPosition:Number;

//Length of the song
var sDuration:Number;

//Load the xml file
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.onLoad = function()
{
var nodes:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for(var i=0;i<nodes.length;i++)
{
saUrl.push(nodes[i].attributes.songurl);
saTitle.push(nodes[i].attributes.songtitle);
saSongID.push(nodes[i].attributes.songid);
saImage.push(nodes[i].attributes.songimage);
saUserID.push(nodes[i].attributes.userid);
saArtist.push(nodes[i].attributes.songartist);

//Check to see if this song is the selected song
if (playNowSong == nodes[i].attributes.song_id)
{
sCurrentlyPlaying = i - 1;
}
var songNumber:Number = i + 1;
}
playSong();
};

xml.load("http://www.website.com/music/mp3_xml.php");

//Play the mp3 file
function playSong():Void
{
sObject = new Sound();
sPosition = 0;
//Check to see if we are at the end of our list
if(sCurrentlyPlaying >= saUrl.length - 1)
{
sCurrentlyPlaying = 0;
}
else
{
sCurrentlyPlaying++;
}
if(saUrl[sCurrentlyPlaying] != undefined)
{
//Load the new song and set the title
sObject.loadSound(saUrl[sCurrentlyPlaying], true);
csTitle_txt.html = true;
csTitle_txt.htmlText = "::Playing " + saTitle[sCurrentlyPlaying] + "";

//Load the album art
_level0.albumArt_ldr.contentPath = saImage[sCurrentlyPlaying];

//Reset our volume button
vMute_mc.gotoAndStop(1);

//Finally update our play list
var varsObject = new LoadVars();
varsObject.id = saSongID[sCurrentlyPlaying];
varsObject.state = "play";

Flash Movie Not Recognizing Php-passed Variable - Help
OK, flashers. I need a master flash guru to help with a particularly sticky dilemma. My problem involves passing variables back and forth between flash and a php script that I have running.

Basically, the crux of the problem is that while I can LOAD variables into the flash movie using a button with the following actionscript attatched to it:

on (release) {
loadVariablesNum ("../includes/case-analyser.php", 0, "POST");
}

the script in question (case-analyser.php) is just a small script containing this:

<?
print "&_root.goFade=left&_root.testvar=passed ok&loading=no";
?>

Soo... When I export the movie and click the button, the variable "left" appears in the text field called goFade on the root level just fine, because it's loaded in from the PHP. Fine and dandy. HOWEVER, I can't do anything else WITH it. I have a bunch of scripts which are set so that if (_root.goFade == left) then certain things will happen, only they don't. (I have some buttons in the flash movie iteslf that set this variable to 'left' and they work just fine) Also I have another variable reading the length of that text field. It doesn't seem to register a new integer when the variable is loaded... basically it's like the variable appears on the screen but doesn't REALLY enter the movie at all. Or at least flash can't read it.

I've tried creating little controller movie clips that just constantly refresh and check the field for new data - but nothing seems to be working. Does ANYONE know why I should be able to see the variable in the text field of my flash movie, but have it NOT affect the movie like a regular variable? I'm completely baffled.

Flash Button Recognizing Html Page
I asked a similar question before, but now have come across another problem. I have Flash navigation that contains 5 buttons, each with an off state colored red and an on state colored yellow. This navigation is placed on each html page and each of these buttons link to a unique html page. I need these Flash navigation buttons to recognize what html page they're on so the on state is active when on a particular page. So, when the user is on the Contact Us page, the Contact us button needs to stay yellow and the rest remain red. Any ideas?

Flash CS3 Debugger Not Recognizing Keyboard Input
I am trying to debug a piece of code involving a keystroke. While debugging, when I hit the key the first time, the breakpoint is triggered. But after the breakpoint, the debugger simply ignores any other keystrokes. I'm trying to see what happens when the key is pressed a second time so you can see why this is frustrating me.

I'm running Flash CS3 on an intel iMac. The program is written in AS3.

Is this a known issue? Are there any workarounds?

Thanks in advance!

Embedding ONLY 1 Special Character From Latin I Glyphs
Is there any way to have Flash embed only 1 special character as opposed to all of the Latin I glyphs?

I need the 'degree' character-- "u00b0"--to be embedded in a dynamic text field, and everything is working fine except that in order to get this symbol embedded I have had to embed all of the Latin I glyphs (388 glyphs in total and all that I want is one)--so what I want to know is, is there a way to embed only that one character and avoid increasing my file sizes with the unneeded 387 embedded glyphs? (This problem is tangibly increasing the file sizes for almost every flash file on my flash-intensive website! Please help--I appeal to all embedding gurus out there)

Embedded Glyphs For Alpha Not Working For Non-Latin Letters
Even after reading through all the posts here, I'm still confused about why embedding is necessary for alphas on text and how embedding works, so maybe someone can sort it out and help me with my problem:

I have a FLA that is trying to present the same script in (the user's choice of) several languages -- including non-Latin alphabets like Korean, Japanese, Russian, Chinese and Arabic. I'm using the Strings library to load translations into my text movie clips on the stage.

The language stuff works great except that alpha tweens weren't working. So I selected the movie clip symbols (three of them) in the library and told Flash to embed all glpyhs. Each of these symbols is using Trebuchet MS, so my thinking is that I'm not exceeding the 65K limit because I'm embedding the same glyphs for each. (But I'm not sure if that limit is for the SWF or per symbol.) I only have one other font in the FLA and for that one, I'm just embedding English alpha characters.

(Perhaps as an aside, I also included these fonts Stone Sans and Trebuchet MS as fonts in my library, but I don't understand whether this is absolutely necessary or if embedding glyphs eliminates the need for these.)

So with those glyphs embedded, my text alpha tweens work beautifully. However -- and this is where I begin to shed tears -- all the Korean and Cyrillic text is gone. It's just punctuation and no characters. I don't have Chinese, Japanese or Arabic text loaded yet, but I imagine that these would suffer from the same problem.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to create more than one movie to achieve my multilanguage goal? (Or worse, render each language separately? -- yuck!) In my old version of Flash (just up'd to CS3) I could tween alpha text with no problem, so why is all this embedding even necessary?

Thanks,
Tim

As Not Recognizing A Mc
I'm finally doing my first AS3 project after lots of AS2. I was given a .fla by the graphic artist with a timeline full of graphics and movieclips, etc., but no AS other than some stop() functions. I'll write some classes soon, but for the moment, I'm working on the timeline.

There's a movieclip on the timeline to which I need to register an event listener. I gave the movieclip a name "div". But when I run the movie, I get the following error:

1120: Access of undefined property div.

I get this error for any movieclip that was already present on the timeline when I received the .fla if I try to reference it with Actionscript in any way, even including a trace() function. If I convert one of these symbol types to a Button, then AS properly recognizes them. But then I lose the functionality of those MCs.

If I create a new movieclip with the tool palette and put it on the stage, I can do what I want with it in AS without the errors.

It's like Actionscript can't see the preexisting movieclips, even though they have instance names.

Why would this be?

Problem With Latin Chars Passed To Flash8 From A MySQL Db With PHP, Font Is Embeded.
This is not just a Flash problem but it is also PHP and MySQL, I guess it was best to post here as it involved Flash.

The problem relates to a dynamic Flash site, I load the data into the MySQL database and then retreive it using a PHP script then printing the data for the Flash movie to pick up. This all works well except I have discovered that when latin chars are used the text area just stops showing the data. (The text fields are formatted for html as...

Code:
textholderMC.textfield_txt.html = true;
textholderMC.textfield_txt.wordWrap = true;
textholderMC.textfield_txt.multiline = true;
textholderMC.textfield_txt.htmlText = waw_text;
and * the text areas have been set to embed the chars I am having problems with. *

The data is entered into the MySQL database using:

Code:
$string = addslashes(htmlentities($string));
retreived then printed for the Flash movie like:

Code:
print "&waw_text =" . urlencode(stripslashes(html_entity_decode($row["waw_text"])));
If I use an & 'ampersand' it reads find but if I use an ñ 'letter n with a tilde´ then when 'waw_text' is passed to the text area the 'n with a tilde' is converted to '%F1', but the text area does not show anything, it just ignores it!

String as passed to FLASH:

Code:
&waw_text =Hello This+is+an+%F1
Flash shows this as:

Code:
Hello
This is an
JSYK, I have tried leaving off the 'urlencode' for the flash string but then the text strings stop at any special char such as an 'anspersand'.

I hope this is explained correctly, anyone know how I can pass latin chars to the Flash movie?

Is there any way to get the mouse double click event ? I want to trigger a function when the mouse double clicked over a Movieclip... or on the stage...

Not Recognizing XML File
I have a page that rotates through a series of static graphics with an animated sequence between each static image. I did not design this and am now having to make a duplicate copy of this with new colors in the animation and a different XML file to draw the images and titles from. You can see the working version here:

Working Version

I have gone into the action script where the XML file name is specified. I have changed the name to the new XML file name. I re-export the swf file and despite the XML file being in the same location as the original XML file, this simple change seems to break the animation and it freezes just before putting up the first information from the new XML file.

Non-Working Version

Actionscript is not my strong suit. I have gone through and compared the code and I can't find anything that would explain this problem. If anyone has any pointers on what might be causing this, I would be extremely greatful to hear from you.

Regards,
Andy

Need Some Pattern Recognizing Help..
Hey all,

Again, I ran into trouble making tetris. Please take a look at the swf attached. None of the controls work yet - press the blue button to start/pause.

Take a look at it, and you'll see that some blocks go through others (which isn't supposed to happen). The blocks are managed into arrays of "yes" or "no". If the blocks below the current moving tetris block are "no", then that current tetris block will continue moving down. If "yes", it will become purple and initiate a new tetris block.

Now, please feel free to browse through the fla to see the structure. Test the movie in Flash and look at the check "yes" or "no" process with the traced commands.

Something is seriously wrong, and I don't know what. There seems to be a pattern of the blocks that go through others, but I can't find it out. (the swf may need to be run 2 or 3 times before a bug appears).

Thanks for your time!

Recognizing Variables
When I load variables from a text file into my Flash movie, it works properly. But when I try to set up "If" conditions based upon the variables, it fails to read them correctly and I have to manually type the variables in.
Is there any way to fix this? All help is much appreciated.

Changing Foreign Language Characters To Normal Characters
Hi

What im doing is taking a word from an imput box and the searching an xml file for it.

I have all that working.
MY issue is the application is in french and i want to be able to strip the inputed word of special characters
like é.

The reason for this i because if i have to account for the case that the user uses the special character and not use the special character (just incase) then this will eventually inflate the size of the xml im searching because ill have to put in both.

EG
User 1 searches for Abbé
User 2 searches for Abbe

They both get a result

CURRENT SOLUTION
XML Contains entry for Abbé and Abbe

DESIRED SOLUTION
XML Contains entry for Abbe only
Actionscript strips the search word of special characters à to a and é to e etc etc
Searchs the XML with new stipped word!!!

Thanks

Recognizing When An External Swf Is Loaded
How do I get the root movie to recognize when an external swf loaded into a target mc has finished loading?

My conditional statement seems to only be able to recognize the target mc, not the external swf.

if (_root.target._framesloaded >= _root.target._totalframes) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(26);
}

Thanks much!

Recognizing Imported Variables
Hi all,
I've got a list of links that are imported from a text file via php.
The text file is formatted like this / &_level0.text1=Flashkit&_level0.link1=www.flashkit .com& /

It loads into the flash movie just fine and I can see that it is loaded because the dynamic text fields "text1" and "link1" display the proper text.

I use this code to import the names and urls of the links.

loadVariables(pathToLinksData+"?cacheKiller="+getT imer(), this, "POST");
I pass a variable at the end of the text file like this > /:Status="Done" < and in the fla there is a Dynamic text field called /:Status with the instance name StatusInstance.text (that's the only way so far that I can get flash to recognize that there is something in it).

My problem is counting them. If I manually enter the text in the fla it works fine, but If I import the values, flash thinks the value of "_level0.link1" is null or empty.

Here is the count code. It's a function.

if (StatusInstance.text == "Done") {
linkcount = 1;
countLinks();
}
function countLinks() {
while (linkcount>0) {
templink = eval ("_level0.link"+linkcount);
if (templink==null) {
/:total = linkcount-1;
break;
}
linkcount++;
}
}

Again, this works great if the variable values are not imported. I need it to work with variables and values dynamically loaded but flash can't see that "_level0.link1" is NOT empty.

whew. I dunno.

Loading And Recognizing Variables
Something is wrong here. But I don't know what.

I'm loading a text file like this

this.loadVariables("vis.txt");

the contents of the file will ultimately be many variables that will change but for now it is:

&Vis=1

I have a movie on the main timeline with Instance name: Vvisible1

then the code on frame 12 is:

if (Vis = 1) {
with (Vvisible1) {
gotoAndStop("on");
}
} else {
with (Vvisible1) {
gotoAndStop("off");
}
}

I change the variable in the text file and it doesn't change the frame to off. It's always on.

Please help.

Recognizing MC's Frame (I Guess...)
Hi all!
Here's my problem: I have a MC on stage called cp. Inside the MC there's a button that shoud activate the MC on the first click and deactivate it on the second click. Basically the MC has a very simple animation of some square going down and stops when it reaches a certain frame (which has a stop(); action on it) and when the user clicks the button for a second time the square goes up. Obviously, the first frame of the MC also has a stop(); action on it. I tried to use the following code but it didn't work, there was no animation whatsoever:

code:
on (release) {
if (_root.cp._currentframe=1) {
gotoAndPlay ("_root.cp", 2);
}
else {
gotoAndPlay ("_root.cp", 32);
}
}

Any ideas how to make this thing work?

Thank you for your help!
