Flash :: Loading Unicode Characters And XML

Help How Do I Get Unicode Characters In KM?
I'm new to flash. I've done a couple of 'movies' and I'm working on a project where I need several languages in the same movie. I've learned about unicode fonts, but I cannot place text in KM using the non-western characters.

I can place dynamic text using a separate text file (saved in notepad as Unicode) and that works - but then I cannot use effects ... also, I tried to embed the characters and now the text does not show up.

I'm out in left field at the moment. If anyone can help, please feel free. The result I'm looking for is to use a Unicode font such as cyberbit.ttf so I can use 20 or so languages in the same swf - with text effects.

I've attached a test fun file and the txt file in a zip.

Thanks,

Unicode Characters
Is there anyway to show other language sets in flash by using the static text box option. I need to build a file that supports portuguese characters and be able to format the text, (bold, Italic, etc.) I have been able to do this using dynamic text boxes and embedding the font as "no character." I then set the text box to html text and import but flashes html tag support is limited. I also need to keep the file size small, so using a full character set is out of the question.

I need to do this as simple as possible because there are multiple pages that are going to need to be populated by people who do not neccessarily have flash skills. by using static text boxes, the user could just set up the text exactly how they want it on the screen and that is what they will get when they publish. hopefully this makes sense.

thanks

Problem With Unicode Characters
Hi,

I am working on a japanese project and got struck while displaying some unicode special characters. When I display it in the text field, I am getting the junk character instead of actual character. Please help me how we can handle the unicode characters. I am sending these characters from the server side and loading them in the LoadVars at the client side and trying to display them in a text field dynamically.

Regards,
Praveen

Flash Reading Unicode Characters In XML
HI ALL

I am reading an XML file in Flash MX, XML has encrypted attributes which has characters such as "¿¯²¨¥", which are not recognize in Flash. So i guess the problem lies in the Unicode character, although i have used encoding option to support Unicode "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>"

I am attaching the XML which i used, Let me know how to go about getting Unicode characters in Flash XML

Any books or websites regarding the same will do

Thx for all ur help

Unicode Characters Not Displaying Properly
Hello. I have a text box which loads information into itself from a MySQL database. That string has unicode characters inside it. When I load that string into the text box the characters do not display properly. I don't see any of the special accents on some of the characters even though they are in unicode inside the database.

I've used the System.useCodepage = true; statement and that had no effect. Any ideas? Help on this would be great.

Thanks

If String Starts With Unicode Characters
Hi all,

I'm trying to catch strings which start with unicode characters, but i'm not sure how. Note the the "firstChar" can be any type of unicode character. For example:

PHP Code:

//unknown string in app
var firstChar:String = "&";
//unicode is incorrect, i not sure how you catch unicode characters
If(firstChar == unicode){
//do something with it
}

Thanks

Question About Displaying Unicode Characters
hi all,

I have a array of text strings made up with both English letters and Chinese characters like the one below in ActionScript 3.0:

var menu_label:Array = new Array("关于about我们", "报名application方法",);

In my flash file, I can only see the English but not the Chinese. I know I am missing a something, i tried to Change the encoding, font type in my Flash preferences. None of the combinaiton worked.

Does anyone have any clue?

Thanks!

Dynamic Unicode Text And Special Characters
hi.

i was told if i want to upload a dynamic text from a .txt file into a dynamic text fileld in flash6 i should save it as unicode file (for e.g. with word) in case i use special html characters (ä,ö,ü...etc.).
o.k. so far, but my text has to start with a variable name like var=...text...,
and the unicode format puts some symbols in front of the "var=" so it can not be detected by flash anymore. what to do?

Unicode Characters Sending From Flash Through XML To Server
Hi All,

Having a input text filed, where unicode characters can be entered. By clicking the submit button, it generates an xml with the data entered in the field. The xml is then posted to the server.

The issue is, on client side, the xml contains the utf-8 characters but on server side it shows as some junk values.

Is there any way by which we can post the unicode characters to a server.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Problems Displaying Unicode Encodeded Characters In Components
I'm having problems getting Flash to display unicode that is imported from XML. In the example below the unicode characters in the name tag come through in Flash exactly as typed eg: u00EA

The xml file is written by PHP.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Colortool><Siding><item><type>c</type><id>11</id><name>Revu00EAtement Spu00E9cial</name>
etc..

However I've also tried re-saving the file manually in an editor encoded as UTF-8. Same result.

Setting up a little test like:

temp = "Revu00EAtement de premiu00E8re qualitu00E9";
trace ("temp: " + temp);

Traces: RevÃªtement de premiÃ¨re qualitÃ© as expected.

Any ideas why it works when the variable is set in Flash, but not when it's loaded from XML?

Thanks,

Anson

Embedding Font Outlines Fills Open Characters And Does Not Display Unicode
i generated a unicode truetype font using fontographer 4.1.

then, in Flash mx i created a dynamic text field, checking font outline embedding to "all".

then i load utf-8 encoded variables into the movie from a php script.

the first problem is that letters with "holes" like A, D, O, P, etc. are displayed with the holed FILLED!!!

second, the unicode chars are not displayed. i tested that with actionscript by checking the character codes of the loaded text strings, and it gives plain ASCII numbers, which i then convert to unicode notation uXXXX, and only then they are displayed correctly.

ok, i tried using shared fonts. DOES NOT WORK! well.. it works only partly - the font _is_ loaded, but in the movie, where I load the font, no frame labels are recognised, so when i write gotoAndPlay("test") (and there _is_ such label) the movie resumes playing from the first frame as if it could not find such label.

what's going on, people??? help!

Simple Loading Unicode Problem
Hi
was wondering if someone could explain how to do this...

in flash if i use:

myText.text = "uFE94";

it spits out the correct unicode character (in this case an arabic letter) ﺔ

However, i need to load it externally.

I`ve used a simple text file which looks like this:

myvar=uFE94

when i load it into flash it displays it literally
myText.text = myvar;

= uFE94

can anyone tell me where i`m going wrong?

basically i need to get this list of unicode values loaded into flash and displayed correctly

arabic="uFE94uFEF4uFE91uFEAEuFECCuFEDFuFE8DuFE94uFEE4uFEE0uFEDCuFEDFuFE8D"

Thanks very much for any help at all

Loading Special Characters
Hey everyone, hopefully this is really easy. I have a really simple easy quiz that pulls questions off a .txt file. Trouble is, whenever a question uses the special character "&", flash doesn't display it. Almost as if it isnt there. If I push things further, it actually displace a space, or in some cases seems to delete whatever letter was in front of it!?

Does anyone know whats going on? Does anyone know what I need to do to the data sheet (or flash) to let it full up % and other special characters like $, #, or @ ??

Special Characters Do Not Appear When Loading A .txt File. Why?
I have an invisible button.

onRollover it loads a text file:
loadVariablesNum ("textfile.txt", 0);

This is cool but the problem is that the file does not display any special characters (eg. %, +, &).

If the special character is between two words - it drops the word after the special character.

I have tried to replace "&" with "&" but to no avail.

Please help...

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.

[F8] Loading Math Characters From An External File
I realize there's lots of info on this around the forum and online, but I've yet to find one that works for me.. Basically I have a game that has math questions pop up between levels. The questions are being loaded dynamically from a text file and I just can't seem to find a way to view the division and multiplication signs...

I've saved my text file as UTF-8 and added this script to the first frame of my movie:

if(!System.useCodePage)

System.useCodePage = true;

still coming up blank.. Oh I also tried using different coded variations with no luck. (eg %00F7 for the division symbol)

Anyone have any insights?

Loading External Txts With NON Standard ASCII Characters
Hello everybody. This is my first post here.
I've used a Kirupa tuto for loading externat txts in a dynamic text box and works...
but the problem is I'm spanish and we use accents and the break c: ç

So I changed the externat txts to html files in order to use accents, but...
as Flash uses the "wonderful" ampersand to change between texts blocks, everytime I write an accent or a ç , Flash thinks this is the end of the text and hides the next text.
So, there's is a way to use externat txts or html with non standard ASCII loaded in Flash?

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

Unicode - Please Help...
I a mtrying to make a page that uses special Chinese characters, or for the sake of it, any Unicode characters... I create a dynamic textfield called myTextField_txt, and I add the following code to the first frame of the movie:

Code:
myTextField_txt.text = "u4130";
So far, so good. When I have to make lots of those symbols, I need to make the "4130" part of the code a variable. So I modify the code as follows:

Code:
var myVar="4130";
myTextField_txt.text = "u" + myVar;
It doesn't work any more... Do I have to make it literally, ONE BY ONE, for every one of the signs I want to include in my Flash movie?

To Unicode Or NOT
I posted yesterday may problem, I've made some research since then so here it goes again.

The thing is this: for some none US ENGLISH characters flash loadVars behaves in a strange way.

When Flash does a loadVars the text it receives from the server has to be URLEncoded, this is that the abnormal charactars are Encoded into it's Hexahesimal value like this: the '<' Symbol is turned into %3D or somenumber like that and the SPACES are turn into '+', then the Flash URLdecoder from loadVars turns it back into the '<' Symbol.

That's quite good until you find a 'á' Character or any of the sort.

Just to make my point, the 'á' Character is encoded into %E1, and to my surprise, the unicode value for it is 0x00E1, so....

HOW COME THAT FLASH PARSES IT INTO A ? THAT EATS THE NEXT CHARACTERS TOO???

Should I turn all the %xx characaters into %00xx for flash to understand them correctly? if so why I don't have this problem with the '<' sign or any of its neighbours?.

Please someone help me, anyone has have this problem before?

The System.UseCodePage command didn't work and it's quite ovius why.... I'm not talking of a text file, but a response from the server.
