Flash :: Chinese Text Not Dynamic

MX2004 And Chinese Dynamic Text
Hi all,
im starting to do a project. The Project is a basic flash thingie, but it involves a lot of dynamic texts from external XML files.
one of these languages will be China. Will i be seeing some troubles?

What about embedding the font? As usual, the same text-fields are used in many languages, so embedding something like Arial wont be possible? Should i use "system fonts" or something?

And have any of you seen a Chinese flash site, so i could look at em?

Thank you million times

Chinese Dynamic Characters And Alpha
Working on a legacy app that is receiving chinese characters from an XML file and inserting them into text boxes that start out life as alpha=0.

When they are relevelant, the following code either fades them in or out:

ActionScript Code:
onEnterFrame = function () {
textBox01._alpha -= 10;
if (textBox01._alpha <= 0) {
delete onEnterFrame;
}
}

I've got the font embedded with all proper character sets with Arial Regular. It works on my Mac. However, it's apparently not working on PC.

Anyone have any thoughts why? The english is working fine, it appears to be related to Chinese only.

Chinese Font Support In Dynamic Fields In CS3
Hi
I understand that in pre-CS3 Flash you had to embed the entire Chinese character set in EACH dynamic text field you wanted to use it in, blowing out the size of the FLA. I have a site where I want Chinese or English text to appear in dynamic fields based on a user's region - is CS3 better at this?

cheers

Chinese Text Through ActionScript
Desperately need some help here

I need to translate a site from English into chinese, and the previous developer created a navigation menu in actionscript which generates a dynamic menu from xml.

Problem is that there are no text fields for me to embed fonts. Is there anyway I can get the chinese characters to display?

Currently I saved the xml as utf-8 and replaced the english text with chinese text, but nothing is being displayed in the swf.

Chinese Text In Flash MX
Hi,
Is it possible to type chinese into flash without them being turned into question marks?
Whenever i try to type it, i turns into this "????" instantly. I know that it is possible to type chinese into some other programs like a text file, and then load it into a dynamic text box. But is there a way to directly type chinese in Flash MX into... lets say... a static text box?
Or is there any settings/options in flash that i need to configure, or any plugins that allows chinese text input?

Thanks.

Chinese Text Input
hi,
I am having a weird problem with my flash guestbook, where I can copy&paste chinese text into the text field, and it would work fine, but I can't "type" chinese in there...
I've tried embedding chinese fonts inside flash, and you can see the chinese characters once it's uploaded, but you can't read them while you're typin in the text input fields, just some random codes.

Any thoughts??

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

External Chinese(Unicode) Text And Flash MX
I need some help with loading an external .TXT file into a Dynamix text field.

The .swf load the .TXT using LoadVariablesNum and works fine with English text, but not Chinese. Nothing shows up in the text box. Someone please help! I've gone through Macromedia's online documents but can't make it work!

Typing Chinese In Input Text Field At Runtime
Hi guys,
I am having problem typing in Chinese into any input text fields in my flash application. For example, I am trying to create a registration form in flash and may need the user to type in his/her Chinese name. But when I test it, all I can see is "????" when I type in Chinese with Windows IME. However, I can create some chinese text in notepad and paste it to the input text field and they'll display fine. I have no problem with displaying Chinese text in static and dynamic fields using loadVariable, loading external text files which are UTF-8 encoded... but I really need to get the user input working. Has anyone come across the same problem b4? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My settings are:
English Windows 2000
Chinese IME set up with Changjie (Chinese Taiwan) and ShuangPin (Chinese PRC)
Flash MX
Flash 6 ,build 47 player

A Bit Of Chinese, Anyone? LOL
Imagine you need to make a file that uses Chinese characters. And you don't speak Chinese, so you ask a friend of yours who is Chinese (or speaks and writes fluently Chinese, like Mira Sorvino) and you ask him or her to write the Chinese letters you need.

So here is a list of all the Chinese characters that Flash Unicode System can output on the screen. With its code.

If you download the file, try changing the "4" in the left combo box by another number, and then change the value of the right combo box and hit "GO". It will automatically give you the list of the next 256 characters in Chinese and their Unicode value, so you don't need to check it out any further...

For safety, I wrote the minimum and the maximum values you are supposed to enter in order to get Chinese, but you ca neve nget Arabic, Greek or Hebrew with this little program.

I will place it as a movie for the actionscript.org site...

And here is the file...

Enjoy, and thanks for the interest...

Chinese In Flash MX
I've heard Flash MX has great multi-lingual support, but evrytime I input or copy-paste Chinese into it, it gives me question marks.

EG:

‹âs turns into ?? [Note, those without Chinese fonts may not see the text]

I even use Chinese fonts, but it only gives me the question marks in that Chinese fonts' English typeface. Macromedia's website has a screenshot of MX going with multiple languages working at the same time. I just need Flash to allow both input with Chinese and English.

I've done it before with Flash 5.

Is there anyway without script?
I use Flash MX and Windows XP Pro.

Thanks

View Chinese In MX

Chinese Characters
Hi. I'm working on a project where I need to use chinese characters.
I'm currently using the #include-command to load a text-file that is UTF-8 encoded... that's how Macromedia suggests you do it.

However: Making all textfields dynamic, and load text into them externally is kind of frustrating(takes long time), so I wonder if there is a way for you to copy-paste chinese characters into your FLA...
Or do they have another version of flash in China??

I read in the manual that comes with flashMX that maybe you could change your settings in windows (in win2000 and later):
In the Control Panel, select Regional Options and with the General tab selected, under Setting for the current user, choose a language.

I'm not very good at windows, and I need files from the Service Pack 3 cd to install new languages, but if I made this, would it be possible to copy-paste chinese characters into the fla?????

Thanks for reading this rather long message

Chinese Characters From Xml ...
I have been using flash and it's new feature of the unicode (chinese
characters mostly). I am having a problem though. When I am making an xml
file with both chinese and english, flash only reads the value of '?'
instead of my charaters.

The encoding I am using is "iso-8859-1" and "Big5", but neither seam to
work. Any ideas?

Chinese Fonts
I have a presentation in the form of an swf (not exe) that is used on a CD rom.. all the important text is loaded dynamically via xml.

I have just been asked to make a Chinese version. Although I have no idea about Chinese I was thinking to just get the xml files translated. And have a link to load the chinese xmls instead of the english ones.

So my question is does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? Anyone know any pitfalls I should avoid or might have trouble with? especially regarding chinese fonts...

Thanks

Hi, I've a Flash-Movi with german text. Now I've to exchange the german for chinese text, because the Flash-Movi should be send to china. I've no idea, what I've to attend. Do I need a chinese language-font, or is it enough to find a european font which supports chinese signs? Can chinese people read this?

It would be great, if there is someone who can help me.

Thank you very much.

Hi,
I basically need to be able to use chinese fonts in my application which needs to support several different languages. I currently store the fonts I need in a separate swf file and import this which works fine. However I have had no luck doing this with chinese fonts, does anyone know how to go about this?
I haven't really been able to find much useful information about how it is achieved, especially in as3.

Thanks in advance for any ideas

Chinese Localization
Hi

I've been charged with internationalizing a Flash RIA, and unluckily for me one of the locales is China. Having spent fruitless hours trying to get just one Chinese character to display, my only chances of an ongoing career in IT are 1) resign and 2) beg for some help on here :-)

Text mainly comes from XML, but also from text files. There is text in button labels, in html fields, in datagrids, in scrolling displays. There are both input fields and static fields. The input fields also sometimes have exclude characters. These are all issues I anticipate, but so far I can't even get one measly character to show up.

Here's what I'm doing:-

XML file starts with:-
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
and is saved as utf-8.
I've replaced a Latin string in the working English version with a 'æ˜¯' character (may not display on this webpage, I copied and pasted from a Chinese website).
I've imported the MingLiU font and embedded it in the swf.
I've set the universal fontFamily (affecting all fields) for the app to MingLiU.

All I see is nothing.

I've searched the internet and this question comes up occasionally, the advise is normally pretty simple, and Ive tried everything.

Grateful for any ideass/pointers

Chinese Characters
I am working on an app with a textfield created with code. The app has a chinese language option so the user needs to be able to enter text in an input text field with chinese characters. When i enable chinese (PRC) in Windows, and i start typing and get the little character entry box. Everything seems normal, but when i have finished the entry no character displays in the box. I can enter roman characters no problem, i can paste chinese characters, i just cant write them directly in the input.

Flash : Chinese
Hi there,

I wrote a file upload application for a client, using the FileReference class in Flash. This application uses a PHP backend with the move_uploaded_file() function to process the file uploading to the server. When the client uploads a file with Chinese characters, it doesn't work as expected. See the image below :

How can I provide support for different encoding or different languages?
Is there some way to include language files or something?
Please post your comments. Appreciated!
