Cyrillic Font In Flash?
I've got a flash-based menu (and some graphics) that a client would like translated into Russian. I had no problem with the HTML files, but FLASH isn't recognizing the font. Each time I try to cut and past the russian text into the text file that feeds my menu system, it comes out as an unrecognizable string (????????????? ????)
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Cyrillic & Double Byte Languages In Flash 4/5?
hallo,
got a bit of a problem, and was wondering if anybody has any experience to help give some pointers.
I am going to be creating a series of education modules in non-Latin(e.g Cyrillic, Korean, Chinese etc.etc.) languages, and Im trying to find a solution to how to author them.
The main issue is that all the source code is provided in word files, which show up fine on my system, but as soon as I copy and paste the text into my text fields it all comes out in the dread "??????????????" format.
Now as much as I can discern from Macromedia's circular logic tutorials, the only way I will be able to see the actual text pasted as it should be is if my machine is running the same codepage as the text I am pasting (so if my machine was running in Korean, I would be able to see Korean, but not say Japanese).
Beyond that, the big kicker is that I am most likely going to have to export my files as version 4 or 5 (due to my client's corporate web standards), which immediately exlcudes the use of MX's Unicode support.
Sooooooooooooooooooo, my question is this, and is more aimed at bi-lingual users (hoepfully Russian, its that first one I have to tackle), but is more or less this. When you authored movies in older versions, what steps did you have to take? Did you author in the English version of Flash, paste your Russian source text, and it all worked out fine?
If your explanation gets too long, PM me and we can talk.
Any help or insight or even tutorials (non-Macromedia plz, their official ones makes my head spin and never really answer anything).
Thanks!

Bought Flash Template: Heeelp Need Advice As To How To Customise...
Hi All
Big help needed everyone.... OK, so I guess you are gonna call me an idiot, but heck, I suppose I deserve it. Here's the lo-down...
I purchased an excellent Flash template from templateMonster that comes complete with all PSD's, .fla, source code, as well as the html version of the site - and I am very VERY pleased with it. I am wanting to use this excellent template for my new Limited company, and so started looking into how I could customise it and add my own content etc.
Here is where I am stuck. I thought that because the PSD's were supplied, it would be easy for me to create the new 'content' and my images etc, then the flash would pick up these new images and content and my site would be showing my content instead of the Latin text and made-up names/contacts/pages/products etc that are supplied as default with the template. How wrong I was....
It seems that the whole site is contained in 2 files... an index.html and a flash object file. All the images, logo's, text, and content is contained within the darned embedded file and it seems I need Macromedia to edit or amend it. Phah!!! my very bad mistake I appreciate.
So, is there anyone here who can advise if I need to purchase Macromedia and learn how to customise the template myself, or should I look to hire someone to do this for me? I have approached one company - a super guy - who has been very professional and polite, and who has provided a quotation for me, but as I have no idea how much effort will be required to create the new flash object (with embedded content), I am wondering if I can perhaps learn do this myself by creating the new content by amending the PSD files in Photoshop etc. Then I'd need to create the new flash object but have no idea how to get Macromedia to pick up and compile this new content of mine instead of the default stuff within the template.
I have also asked a friend if he might be able to do this as a favour, but am really in need of getting this done ASAP. If no help is forthcoming by Monday I'll contract with the excellent chap who has already quoted for me. It's just that when I purchased the template I had no idea I would have to pay more money out to place my content in it!!!! I know html, and know that content can easily be amended - but had no idea I couldn't do this with flash.
So... can anyone help...? if so, please PM me here or contact me on themusicman@gmail.com with details and a possible price. Thanks all...

Cyrillic Text In A Button In MX
ok,
i have these dynamic text boxes that are supposed to display cyrillic text,
i am using the loadvariables (cyrillic.txt,0)on level0 to load text from an external txt file in UTF-8 format. If i try it using a dynamic text box on level0 it works fine, but if i put the dynamic text box into a button it doesn't, it will display english inside the button but not cyrillic..its really weird..
to summarise...
Dynamic text box level0.. cyrillic fine
Dynamic text box level0.. english fine
Dynamic text box level1 (in a button).. cyrillic..nope
Dynamic text box level1 (in a button).. english fine
any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated

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!

==============================
Quite long. I'm sorry but do not know which part is important and which not. The file was provided to me for language adaptation and it is 3 weeks since I'm trying to find a solution.
I'm running WinXP and MM Flash MX 7.0. The fonts I use are Arial cyr, Arail Narrow Cyr - all have embeded cyrillic characters.
I will highly appreciate if you provide some corrections in actionscript or guidelines how to solve the problem.
Thank you in advance.

Embedding Fonts For Use With Cyrillic Letters
When embedding fonts in the library (Library > new font), there is no way to specify which character sets should be included. It seems like the only sets that are included are the basic ones? Is there a way to make flash embed more of the font?
Problem is I have a huge website which creates textfields dynamically, and gets data from a cms. Now, there are some articles with cyrillic letters in them, and these are not present in the textfields.
If I create a field staticly in the flash, includes all character sets, and inputs the cyrillic text to it, the text is displayed correctly. Or, if I set embedFonts=false on the textfield. But neither is really a solution. The first isn't since I then would have to create and/or duplicate all textfields that I use throughout the site, a massive change atm. And the second makes use of devicefonts which is... ugly.
So, does anyone have a suggestion on how I could approach this?

Cannot Type Cyrillic Characters Into Input Textfield
The problem: Cyrillic characters cannot be typed into an input textfield.
Prepopulated dynamic textfields aren't a problem. I can even paste Cyrillic characters into an input textfield, but if I try and type, question marks appear instead of the intended characters.
Things tried: various kinds of character embedding, font embedding, useCodepage shenanigans, and other stuff too...
After a bit of searching I've found a few people reporting similar sounding problems, but none of them are getting the answers I need.
But I can't believe that there's no solution, otherwise half the world would be asking why they can't use input textfields, wouldn't they?
Am I missing something, or do I need to take a trip to see a certain software developer and kick them in the shins? (again)
Any help much appreciated.

Jesse,
thanks for the tutorial on amfphp.
I'd like to get sephiroth's iage gallery to work, but no deal!
I tried everything i could think of, your test_remoting seemed to work (at least i got a blank page without errors after trying with the wrong path to the main files 1st, which did echo a path error message), but only traces the 1st three lines, but nothing returned from php, then i tried with both the files from amfphp v050 and 051, and sephiroths downloadables, and the app just "hangs and nothing happens, then i tried to call the included gateway.php directly, and the browser openend a download box for the script, same happened with the "discovery.php" included with amfphp..
I really don't know what else to try, also i was wondering if the file in the services folder stays in that folder in the same folder as the gateway resides, or has to be moved into the "services" folder in the flashservices folder..
I'm confused and helpless..thanks in advance for any further informations to get this working.
I have root(public html), in that one folder with all the amfphp files called flashservices, then also in root a folder called amf, and in that one different folders with your test app, sephiroths gallery, and the example, and nothing works:

Heeelp - Tell Target Question
Can anyone help?
I have placed a drop down menu (copied from the flash tutorial files) in 1 of my SCENES.
I want the buttons to take me to other scenes.
I tried targeting: _root - but I don't know how to write "gotoandplay" another scene in the movie.
How would this translate properly:
_root.scene.frame ???
can it be done - or will I have to convert my scenes into separate movie clips and place them all in one scene?
Any help would be great!

All The Loops Playing On Top Of Each Other HEEELP
I created 5 scenes and I want 1 music (loop) to play in the site. But The loop was playing only when the scene is on. So, I put the loopin every scene. Now when go toa new scene the loo starts from the begining, & since the first one was already going it kills the mood.
Is there a way to place the sound loop once for the entire site ?
I am not smart enough to write code ( that's why I have a mac)
can you gurus help me out ?

Modifing A Preloader... Heeelp Plz
I tried to modify the following script:
decLoaded = (_parent._parent.getBytesLoaded()/_parent._parent.getBytesTotal());
percLoaded = Math.round(decLoaded*100);
bytesLeft = (_parent._parent.getBytesTotal() - _parent._parent.getBytesLoaded());
_parent.percent = percLoaded add "% loaded";
_parent.Kleft = (Math.round(bytesLeft/1024)) add "K left";
_parent.bar._width = percLoaded*2;
So I could get the total bytes displayed...
Tried this (line 1 and 5 is mine):
totalBytes = (_parent.getBytesTotal());
decLoaded = (_parent._parent.getBytesLoaded()/_parent._parent.getBytesTotal());
percLoaded = Math.round(decLoaded*100);
bytesLeft = (_parent._parent.getBytesTotal() - _parent._parent.getBytesLoaded());
_parent.Ktotal = totalBytes add "loading";
_parent.percent = percLoaded add "%";
_parent.Kleft = (Math.round(bytesLeft/1024)) add "K left";
_parent.bar._width = percLoaded*2;
But it's not working - of course.
I placed a corresponding text field corresponding the movie clip... no luck. what should i do?
Also, is the getBytesTotal enough to get the size to appear in kbytes not bytes?
Heeelp anyone?
Forgive my ignorance............
Much appreciated

Zoomed In SWF Files...HEEELP
Hey everyone...here's the deal...my company uses Flash files to show parts breakdown of HVAC units...In order to see the picture clearly, you must zoom in several times. Then, when you try to print the zoomed in version, it prints out very small & you can't even see the info. Is there anyway to print the zoomed in version of the SWF file?
Thanks!

Heeelp... Loading Contents
i have some pages that i used pictures as a background in them, these backgrounds got to be min 1024x768 so they are large files that decrease the speed of loading the site's content.. so i wanted to make a flash file that is an intro to the whole the site where i can load 2 or 3 backgrounds then they are saved in the temporary internet files so when entering the site after the flash is loaded the backgrounds are loaded instantly and thouigh the site's browsing speed increases...
the flash file goes like this.. a loading text, a loading bar (instance name 'bar') and an Mx.components.loader(instance name 'load1'), i set the path to "backgrounds/image1.jpg" (it's where the background is(suppose we are loading only one)) then set it's visibilty=false..two dynamic text boxes, one with instance name 'loaded' and one with instance 'total'.. then put all of the controls in 2 consequtive frames, without any stop or goto commands, so the flash goes between the 2 frames endessly.. so i can wright the code in the frames, and here the code goes like this :
Code:
var i=this._parent.load1.getBytesLoaded();
var i2=this._parent.load1.getBytesTotal();
var p=Math.floor(i/i2);
this.bar._width=p*173.3;
loaded.text=i/1024;
total.text=i2/1024;
if(p==1)
{
getURL("index.aspx");
}
I test the movie on my computer and it works just fine... the contents are loaded and the loaded KBytes keep increasing every second till it's equal to the total Kbytes and then the link is redirected, just as i wanted. Then i upload it on the server.. and open it from my browser, it doesnb't work at all, the bar's width is 0, and the textboxes are like this 0 / 0.0001231355 alot of numbers like that and sometimes it's Nan/Nan, i don't get it ? how this happens ? why does it work on my computer ?

A Clash Of ActionScript Need Heeelp
Ok well I'm building a website here and I'm having a very frustrating issue here.
It's a fullscreen flash site.
Everything is grouped into an MC on the main timeline
This main MC has a Navigation MC with buttons in it and a Content MC.
and I'm using this code on the MC to keep it all centered in the browser:
ActionScript Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";Stage.align = "TL";main._x = Stage.width/2;main._y = 0;function tweenmain(easeType) { var beginX = main._x; var endX = Stage.width/2; var time = 1; var mc = main; mainXTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, "_x", easeType, beginX, endX, time, true);}main.onResize = function() { tweenmain(mx.transitions.easing.Bounce.easeOut);};Stage.addListener(main);main.onResize();
In the Content MC, swf's are loaded externally for each page when a button is clicked in the navigation
This code on the timeline in the main MC coincides with the Content MC and is used for dynamic resizing of the Box to a specific width and height:
ActionScript Code:
uniqueBounceID = 0;function bounce(param, endingVal, clipsName, speedFactor, bounceFactor) { if (clipsName._x<>undefined) { clearInterval(_root["bounceInterval"+clipsName[param+"ID"]]); var bounceID = _root.uniqueBounceID++; clipsName["param"+bounceID] = param; clipsName["endingVal"+bounceID] = endingVal; clipsName["speedFactor"+bounceID] = speedFactor; clipsName["bounceFactor"+bounceID] = bounceFactor; clipsName["startingParamVal"+bounceID] = clipsName[param]; clipsName["changedParamVal"+bounceID] = 0; clipsName[param+"ID"] = bounceID; clipsName["callBounce"+bounceID] = function () { if (clipsName._x == undefined) { clearInterval(_root["bounceInterval"+bounceID]); } else { if (clipsName["endingVal"+bounceID]<>Math.round(clipsName[clipsName["param"+bounceID]])) { clipsName["changedParamVal"+bounceID] = clipsName["changedParamVal"+bounceID]*clipsName["bounceFactor"+bounceID]+(clipsName["endingVal"+bounceID]-clipsName["startingParamVal"+bounceID])/clipsName["speedFactor"+bounceID]; clipsName["startingParamVal"+bounceID] += clipsName["changedParamVal"+bounceID]; clipsName[clipsName["param"+bounceID]] = Math.round(clipsName["startingParamVal"+bounceID]); } else { clipsName[clipsName["param"+bounceID]] = clipsName["endingVal"+bounceID]; clearInterval(_root["bounceInterval"+bounceID]); } } }; _root["bounceInterval"+bounceID] = setInterval(clipsName["callBounce"+bounceID], 10); }}
When a button is clicked this AS is used to set a new width and height for the content box to tween dynamically to that specified width and height:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (load) { newWidth = 900; newHeight = 600;}on (release) { _root.bounce("_width", newWidth, _parent.box.boxBg, 10, .6); _root.bounce("_height", newHeight, _parent.box.boxBg, 10, .6); _parent.box.boxMovieHolder.loadMovie("home.swf");}
And when I run this swf in an html file, it doesn't center in the middle of the browser... It's way over to the right. It just wont stay in the center of the browser window like its supposed to... What could be the issue here? Anyone see any visible clash in the AS I'm using?
Thanks guys.

Heeelp - Dynamic Vars / PHP, Duplication
Im really struggling with the last part of what I'm trying to do here - that's if I'll be able to do it at all maybe some1 can help.
Im using PHP to pull records from MySQL into flash - that part works ok.
Im getting the data into flash and putting the each pair of variables into a movie clip, which Im duplicating vertically. One of the variables has varying length, so I'm using a method I picked up on here (thank god) for using "maxscroll==1" on the varying field and moving to the frame where the textbox is long enough to accommodate it. It took a while to get that to work but eventually it did.
My only remaining problem is the positioning of the duped movie clips. I've tried:
((previousClip._y +(previousClip._height /2))+5) + (thisClip._height / 2)
but that didnt work.
I also tried using getbounds yMax - yMin on previousClip - that didnt work either. It looks like no matter what I do flash is assuming that all the duped movie clips are the same height.
I tried using the method of calculating the approx. height of the clip by (getting the length of the data string and dividing by the average number of chars per line) X height of char - but thats kinda ugly as the gap differs depending on whether the string is full of i's or full of w's.
It seems that the for loop Im using only sees the original height of the previousClip.
It so nearly works - if anyone can shed some light on this Id be very grateful.
I've put the .fla up at http://www.firmdesign.co.uk/mysqltes...cvarsmovie.fla
in case you wanna take a look.

HEEELP Cant Work Out The Answer To A Problem
I posted a thread about an asfunction problem in which i recieved a reply, which i presume contained the solution to my problem; the problem is - i cant fully understand it?!
Can someone please work out this senerio for me,as im now really depressed
MY QUESTION - How do i go about executing multipule actions with the asfunction from an external txt file/files (e.g:<A HREF="asfunction:actions"> ) from this setup........
I hope this makes sense
USING A MUSIC CATALOGUE AS AN EXAMPLE:-
2 external txt files:
one contains a list of titles(each title acts as a button using A HREF=)
one contains the track details/listings of each title
2 dynamic textfields:
one (lets call it "titles") contains text loaded from the titles external text file, the other (lets call it "details") is an empty text field that recieves (or is supposed to) the track details/listings of the pressed title.
Each of the track details has a variable assigned to it in the details text file (eg:&details1=, &details2, &details3= etc) .
My problem is with the syntax, and how to write/apply it in the function () so depending on which title is pressed, the resulting details appear in the details textfield.
I'm also thinking of loading corresponing swfs to each tiltle into an empty MC container as well!
My aim is script this thing in such a way as to update content & info without going into the Flash authoring enviroment.(well as much as possible anyway)
I got this reply from JAYBEE but i could not work out how to implement it in my scripts - i.e: which bits are written in the actionscript plane and which are written in the text file.
Also i didnt know where the details_arr arrays are supposed to go; basically i would like this actionscript with comments/discriptions discribing what each section is doing and how to implement them.
--------------------
--------------------
JAYBEE's ANSWER!?! -
the trick is to read the data in in some sort of structured format in the first place, which is why xml would be good here, but you can still do it with text....when you load the details text put it into an associative array:
ActionScript:
----------------
[as]my_lv = new Loadvars();
my_lv.onLoad = loadDetails;
my_lv.load('details.txt');
details_arr = [ ];[as/]
[as]function loadDetails() {
for(var i in this) details_arr[i] = this[i];
}[as/]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
then you have an array that looks like:
ActionScript:
----------------
[as]details_arr["songName1"] = "Recorded 2003 etc etc";[as/]
[as]details_arr["songName2"] = "Recorded 2003 etc etc"[as/]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
and you can make your asfunction go like this:
ActionScript:
---------------
//<a href="asfunction:displaySong('Hoo%20Hah');">Hoo Hah</a>
[as]function displaySong(song) {
title_txt.text = unescape(song);
details_txt.text = details_arr[song];
}[as/]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
the only problem there is for song titles with spaces in them - you will need to send them as escaped strings then unescape to display - thats the song titles, not the details......its cos you can't have spaces in the name of the keys in the associative array
