Problem With Special Caracteres Flash Upload + Asp
Hello everyone!

Im trying to make a tool that can upload images from flash to a server. It goes pectly weel by using the upload() class, flash oopens a window where the user can choose the image in the hard disk, an then it sends the information to an asp page that completes the upload.

My problem is that when someone chooses an image that contains special caracters like çaça.jpg or águi.jpg the upload owrks but the image saved on the server gets a name like &ampa&%.jpg (i dont remember exatcly how it goes lol, but it changes the special caracters to this codification)

I tried all sorts of ways to change it inside the asp page but it all seems to doesnt make any change..Is there a way to change it inside the flash? Or a good turn around in asp? I have to delivery this project tomorrow and i really need to figure this out... Can anyone pls help me!!!? Thx a lot!!

XML In Russian
Hi, you'd have to be pretty brave or very bored to have clicked on this subject, not an exciting prospect coding in Russian! I have been asked to read an RSS feed, and display the data dynamically in a banner. I have done this before and its pretty straightforward to load it into an XML object and traverse the data pulling out the bits i need when i need them.

The problem is, this banner is for BBC Russia and therefore the XML file is encoded in the 'windows-1251' format rather than the standard 'UTF-8' (this is for the Russian character set) and therefore the standard XML object loads the data in but it doesn't behave as you would normally expect (missing nodes etc.) I have been searching all morning of some way of letting flash know which type of data the XML file is but all i can come up with is the Byte Order Mark tag which determines between UTF-8 and UTF-16.

Does anyone out there know how to set an XML object to store data from different encodings than UTF-8? Is it even possible or am i barking up the wrong tree? Anyway thought I'd post it up in case anyone else has had the same issue. Please get back to me if you need more detail or anything.

Thanks. Sean.

Russian Roulette
Hi there,

I am trying to build what is effectively a roulette wheel as a menu system. I have a 50 frame movie of Swift 3D output of the wheel spinning and I'd like for the user to be able to grab it and give it a spin.

I know a reasonable amount of actionscript but I'm a little bit stuck on this one.

Before I go into the nitty-gritty of what I've tried and what isn't quite working, I'd like someone with more experience to outline what methods they would use to do this.

While the mouse is pressed down, I'd like the wheel to rotate left and right as if stuck to the cursor, and on release I'd like it to spin freely and decelerate.

Any wise words on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance to anyone putting in the time on this one,

morgan.

Russian Char Set
Hi y'all,

I have a pdf with a Russian Charset. Now if I copy paste the text from the pdf to a textfield in Flash I only see some strange chars, but no Russian chars.

Is it possible to do this with a special Russian charset without installing a russian version of Flash ;-).

Thanks in advance!

Russian Characters
Hello, I have dynamic text fields in a flash movie, that load wording from a .txt file to display information in several languages. French, German etc etc.
My embedded font is a pixel font, I have no problem displaying special characters for most languages, but can not get Russian charactures to show. Something to do with unicode.
Does anyone have an idea of what needs to be done or where there may be answers to this issue?
Thank you.

Russian Characters
I'm translating a flash presentation into Russian and have never done this in cyrillic before. The text is a nightmare mix of static and dynamic text. Some .txt files are loaded from an external source.

The users of the presentation will all have Russian installed on their computers so my question is: is there something I have to keep in mind while doing this?

I searched the forum and came up with this:

Quote:

by the way, i found a great way to load russian text using a free application called Unipad. you simply copy and paste the russian text into Unipad and then from unipad "copy as" the appropriate file format (Windows-CP-1251) and then you can paste the foreign characters into flash. with russian you have to make sure in flash that your font is set to "arial cyr" and all will show.

The text did not specify if it worked for static, dynamic text or what...
And what about loaded text?

Thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed on this.

Russian Roulette => Rnd Not Working ...
Still bothering you with the Russian Roulette thing.
It's just that the code doesn't seem to pop numbers that are random any more...

When loading in the first chamber in most times I get the bullet in 5th chamber, sometimes in 6th or 4th, but could almost never get it in 1, 2 or 3

Then, when loading into the third chamber, I first got it twice in 1, then 2, 3, 4, etc. one by one...

all the chambers have this code:
********************************

on (release) {
bulletnum = Math.floor(6*Math.random())+1;

if (bulletnum == 1) {
gotoAndPlay ("1", 1);
} else

if (bulletnum == 2) {
gotoAndPlay ("2", 1);
} else

if (bulletnum == 3) {
gotoAndPlay ("3", 1);
} else

if (bulletnum == 4) {
gotoAndPlay ("4", 1);
} else

if (bulletnum == 5) {
gotoAndPlay ("5", 1);
} else

if (bulletnum == 6) {
gotoAndPlay ("6", 1);
}
}

********************************

Next problem, all graphics, when played in the browser look much wors then in original *.gif or in Flash

that's a x2 screenshot from the browser

To make everything fade out, I used a black cover that slowly tweaks it's alpha from 0% to 100%
Now on the next frame over the cover's keyframe (0%) it suddenly turns brighter and only then starts going darker.
Also the color is far from pure, as you can see in the image...

Thanx!

Russian Text In Flash
I'm currently working on a multi-lingual site built almost entirely in flash. My problem here is that one of the languages involved is russian. Because there is alot of text there it's impractical to try typing it out but I've tried cut-and-paste and all I get is a load of ??????. Does anyone a way around this? Has anyone any experience of this sort of thing? I'm currently using flash 5.

Working With Cyrillic Russian
Hey guys

i have been designing a website for some commrades in Russia and have had a few headaches with text/fonts. i have looked over several documents for some help but they all seem to deal with Multi-lingual applications rather than just russian. i'm aware of unicode but not to sure if this will solve my problems or not or if it will automatically change my .html file when i embed the cyrillic fonts? i do want to see txt in Flash as i'd like to see how it effects my design.

In my head i imagined that i would just need to embed which ever fonts i was using and make sure that russian text (which has been translated for me by another russian friend) makes sense.

Now after a bit of research and advice from friends i'm more confused than ever. Sorry if i sound naive, please help if Possible!

Dynamic Russian Text
I have a text component that dynamically displays a range of languages (big 5 european, chinese, japanese, arabic and russian), but I am getting a strange bug whereby some of the russian text, when displayed, has different leading between the characters depending on the zoom level.

This means that when previewing the SWF file, if I look at it at 100%, the leading looks like it is set to about 6, but when I zoom in the running SWF, the leading is normal (0).

Anyone else come across this?

Russian Characters In Flash
I am currently making a flash file that was created in english, and converting it to Russian. The code will be in english, but displaying Russian. Here is an example:

_root.kbd.akey.let_Q.let1 = "и";
_root.kbd.akey.let_W.let1 = "ц";
_root.kbd.akey.let_E.let1 = "у";
_root.kbd.akey.let_R.let1 = "к";
_root.kbd.akey.let_T.let1 = "T";
_root.kbd.akey.let_Y.let1 = "Y";
_root.kbd.akey.let_U.let1 = "U";
_root.kbd.akey.let_G.let1 = "ñ";

*The letters T, Y, and U are in English and display perfectly when clicked upon.
*The letters Q, W, and E, are in Russian, and display an "r" when clicked.
*Spanished character G, is spanish, and displays correctly.

Is there any way to get the Russian characters to display properly like the English and Spanish characters do.

Inputing Russian Into A Txt Field When The Swf Is Playing Could Somebody Help Me
I found a good search engine from movies on this sight, see top bar and click movies,
The movie details are

XML Based Search Engine by Sean Caron
Added: 2000-12-21 Rating: 7.95
This is a search engine that dynamically grows as the attached XML document grows. To test it out simply copy a list node and add your own text. Try searching in the movie for "cats" or for "dogs". Its not perfect but I will leave that to you. The XML must be in the same folder as the swf.
more by: Sean Caron

It works perfectly(add your own text to the list example file and then search the file for keywords using the swf)but i wanted to change the input text to russian
Times New Roman CYR in the properties box and then when it plays on my site i could type in and search for russian text in the list example dreamweaver file which was downloaded with the swfs. I set the page properties in dreamweaver to windows cyrillic 1281

I have got it all working just need to find out how to input russian characters i.e. my keywords will be in russian
thanks yall

How To Make A Russian Typing Tutor
Actionscript is too vast to learn completely. Please indicate what commands to study for this:

Project :

1) Load mp3 file of russian word in OSX cyrillic font. (Each short file is the word being spoken).

2) Display word and accept input in cyrillic characters (Russian keyboard layout chosen on user's computer)

3) Same word must be typed. Respond with silence until correct letter is typed in sequence. With successfully types, it speaks the letter (from separate sound file for alphabet) and moves to next letter

4) Completed word = speak word (loaded file) and start over with new word.

There is no need for calculating statistiques on errors or speed.

My excuses if this is inappropriately complex for a novice.

P.S. If cyrillic characters can't be loaded from a server, make part of Flash file and access as variables

Russian Dynamic Text Fields
I've dynamic text fields that are in Russian that don't work.

I have set up Font Symbols and tried various fonts with no luck.

Any suggestions?

Problem With Russian Text-files
Has anyone here worked with Cryllic text-files which are loaded into a presentation?

I've saved my files as UTF-8 and I can't get it to work.

(This same presentation has worked with other UTF-8 files with Latin letters. It's only the Cryllic it doesn't seem to like. Not even error characters or the few Latin letters avaiable are shown. It's completely blank.)

Any ideas you might have would be deeply appreciated!

Male, 25, UK, Would Like To Meet Russian For Technical Translations And Maybe More
I'm not quite sure where this belongs so apologies if this in the wrong place

If any of you speak Russian would you mind translating the following, I'm trying to make some multi-lingual controls:

"Enter fullscreen"

"Enter normal"

"Music On / Off"

I'm a bit hesitatant to just stick it into google translate because it might lose the context. Thank you very much in advance

And if you don't speak russian, pehaps we could discuss this:

Fullscreen
Full Screen
Full-screen

Which do you prefer / which is gramatically correct?
