'not Sign' Appearing Before 'pound Sign' Problem
Hi all, please see attached file to see what I mean, but for some reason I am getting a 'not sign' (¬) appearing before my pound (£) sign.

The content comes from XML with CDATA tags and is all loading fine. I tested the files on my local server and they work fine (no ¬ sign), I tested on a live server and it works fine, but when I put it on my clients server I get a ¬ sign appear before every £ sign. So £250 becomes ¬£250.

All other 'special characters' in the text are fine, it just seems to be the £ character causing me problems. I am using HelveticaNeue LT 65 Medium

Does anyone know why this might be? I've embedded all the characters I thought I needed, but could this be down to needing to embed more or something more serious??

Sign Up And Sign In Screens

LoadVars: How To Load "&" Sign Or "%" Sign
i was just wonder if there is a possible way to do this?
If you can actually load these signs % or &.

Different & Sign
I'm making a menu that generates and duplicates buttons using a text file. In this text file I specify the text on the button (&menu_text) and the URL to go to (&menu_link) The URL picks out an adress from an ASP database.
example:
&menu_text_1=Name button
&menu_link_1=catalogus_resultaat.asp?lijst=lijstme tafbeelding&merk=bedrijf&model=bouwfonds%20concern

The link specifies to different elements in the ASP file but it stops at: catalogus_resultaat.asp?lijst=lijstmetafbeelding
It doens't read the & sign.
Is there an alternative way to write the & sign or to link the different items in the database without using the & sign.

Please help,
Thanx in advance

Sign-In
I want to make kind of like a sign-in box.

The Sign-in box has two fields

1. username
2. password

What I want is for the person to fill both fields out and if they type the password correctly they will be sent to another frame in which it would greet them:

"Welcome (whatever they typed in the username field)to blah blah..."

Can this be done and how?

Sign A SWF
Hi,

I'm looking for possible solutions to secure the Flash/server communication using a signature. For example I want to sign a SWF so my serverside component can read this signature when the SWF contacts the script (for example to fetch some content) so my script is able to identify the SWF as "trusted" and can deliver the output.

The important thing is that it is secure meaning nobody can simply decompile my swf, fetch the security component and use it to fetch the content by himself.

Any ideas if this is possible?

Thanx,
Micha

Special Sign Like <b>
Okay, I did a dynamic application, which loads data from an asp file (which is the connection to a database).

Now I get trouble to load a "&" into flash, because flash makes there a cut and thinks there is a new variable.

I hope someone can help me out there.

PS: (Is there a list with such problems or characters ?)

Using + Sign In A String
Hi can anyone help

I have a string variable that is past in a url from my flash movie. The string is made up of different categories from a webpage and some of the categories contain the + plus sign.

So when I click on the button and it gets the url it changes the plus sign to %2B. I saw another question in forum that was similar (they needed to use the & sign in the string) and one of the replies said to use the hex value for it so I tried that and it still didn't work.

does anybody have any ideas

cheers

Plus Sign Problems
O.K., I just finished something, except there's one big problem: when I try to load all the variables from an external text file, none of the plus signs in it (in strings like "Studded Leather +1" and "1d8+5") load. They'll print just fine if I put them in manually, but I don't get why they won't load. Any ideas?

$-sign In AS Files: What Does This Mean?
Dear Users:

I was trying to follow a tutorial when suddenly . . .
I ran across something I haven't seen documented anywhere.
The $ symbol.

It is in (for Windows users) C:Program FilesMacromediaFlash MX 2004SamplesCustomizingContextMenu and the file is called CustomizingContextMenu.fla .

What this file does is create custom context menu objects. But in the Actionscript in the file ...

_global.$clipboard = new ClipBoard();

function menuCallback (obj, menuObj) {
// First, check to see if the clipboard is empty
var empty:Boolean = _global.$clipboard.isEmpty();

... they have $clipboard. Can anyone tell me what this means/ why the $-sign is there? I know PHP uses $-signs for variables, but Actionscript?

Displaying The €-sign
I'm using a dynamic textfield to show different prices and I have to use the eurosign, €. The problem is that the font I am using, Gill Sans, does not have this character and I have to use this font because it's part of their brand.

Are there any other way of embedding symbols that are not in the particular font?

Thanks

Sign In Form
What would be the general way to go about creating a "multipage" sign up application using Flash and AS3? This will be part of a larger application. Here is the basic layout ...

sign in - form to sign in with email address and password. Button on this page submits form. If authenticated show thank you page and unload the movieclip. If not authenticated show error message page. I'm thinking that each "page" is a frame.

Thanks for your help!

Rotating Sign: How?
Hi there. A client has requested a widget on a new site that I'm struggling to come up with. Not very knowledgeable with Flash, so hoping to find some help and advice here ...

I need to animate a sign, much like a "baby on board" sign that you'd stick on the window of your car. Inside the sign would be some text, which would come from an XML file. The sign would display the text for a period of time, say ten seconds, before rotating to reveal the next random sign (text).

Two ideas come to mind: the first is for the sign to slowly rotate and reveal the new text on each rotation.

The second, and ideally, would be for the sign to spin at high speed, so there'd be motion blur and maybe some 'bouncing' as the sign settled down (and then displayed it for ten seconds or so, before spinning again).

Does that sound doable in Flash? How?!

Any help *Much* appreciated.

Euro Sign
Hi,

I can't type the euro sign ( € ) in author time or into an input text field when published. I've tried using a number of font some i know have the €, and embeded fonts including the €, with no joy.
I'm using ctrl alt 4 to type €. I know this is possible as 2advanced.com has this capability in their contact page.

Cheers

James
