Html Special Characters In Textarea
wotcha
having an unexpected bit of behaviour from my textarea.
It is set to html but when i use special characters like £ and " or try to escape characters with a backslash like it all gets put in literally. As the data is fed into it from an external php text editor, this is a little bit tricky. It is definately rendering as html because i'm using html tags in the copy. I've attached a pic of the copy
Can anyone tell me what might be causing this?

Special HTML Characters
Hi guys!
Here's my question. I have a movie with a dynamic textfield whose content comes from a txt file. In this file txt I have some tags such as <b></b>, <br>... and they work properly. Now I need to place a percent character in this text but Flash doesn't displays it. Is there any way to make it work? What's wrong with it (... or with me )?
Thanks!

HTML Special Characters How?
Hi,
I am loading a text var. It works fine but I have two characters that will not load.
é é lowercase e, acute accent ê ê lowercase e, circumflex accent
On the Adobe page these charatcers are %E1 and %EA. But they do not work. I tired other charecters such as the "~" (tilda) and that worked fine.
Any Ideas?

Special Characters In Imported HTML
I've got a Flash piece where the user fills out a questionnaire, and based on their responses, they are shown a handful of recommendations. These recommendations are all separate HTML files that load into a scrolling text field as HTML text.
There is an English version and a Spanish version. The English version works fine.
In the Spanish version, on the other hand, we've got special characters such as accents over e's, tildes over n's, and so forth.
In the HTML, I've used codes for special characters, such as for . That didn't work. In the resulting recommendations, this code appears, not the .
Then I tried just putting the special characters into the HTML, without the special code. That looks fine on my computer (Mac G5 running Firefox), but on Windows IE instead of the special characters, we get one of those diamond shapes with a "?" in the middle of it.
In my recommendations field, I have it set to embed all characters. The font is Verdana, which should include the special characters. Does anyone know if the display of special characters in Flash is possible, and how I would do it?

Problem With Special Html Characters
i'm having some trouble displaying the above characters within my dynamic text field. i read this post:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=194&threadid=1269618
and tried the fix but i think i may have a different case. i am pulling in the xml with remoting. the text is enclosed in CDATA tags in my xml document. i have also set my textfields' html to true and then when adding the text value i use htmlText.
in my searching i have found that when you use nodeValue on the end of the value being added to your text field it should render properly...but that is not working for me either.
any help/advice is appreciated...thank you!

XML Problem: Special Characters (e.g &) In XML Are Turned Into HTML Entities
See the code below.
Code:
<menuitem name="B&G" src="../img/flashmenu/06.jpg" link="video/06_bg_mood.flv" target="_blank">
<headline>B&G - Mood film.</headline>
<textbody>"Mood" film for B&G p London Boat Show. Filmsnutten ble laget ut fra eksisterende bilde og videomateriale som Playfilms fikk oversendt. Dette skulle ikke vre en produktorientert film, men derimot sette seeren i en stemning nr vedkommende ser filmen. (16.01.07) </textbody>
</menuitem>
In the example above " and & in textbody remain unchanged; but & in B&G turns into &. Tthe & in the name property works just fine though - which throws me off completely.
What the heck is going on here? I thought HTML entitites were supposed to turn into special characters and not the other way around! Can anyone assist me?
Thank you!

Special Characters Inside HTML Enabled Text Field
i am trying to load the content of an external html page by using a new LoadVars object, <loadvars object variable>.load("[htmlpage].html") and then
target the content of a variable inside the HTML page i.e. myVar to an html enabled text-field like:
textfield_txt.htmltext = <variable_inside_html page>;
It works fine, yet i am still missing something about special characters, like %.
do i need to provide the entity equivalent inside the html or something like the ascii equivalent? i am a bit lost and confused on this matter.......
i am looking for a solution that should work with a hybrid cd application-presentation under Mac & Windows...
thanx in advance!

Special Characters
I was wondering if anyone has encountered any creative ways for getting around using special characters in dynamic text fields. Specifically, getting text characters into Flash isn't a problem, but (using a third party extra) saving that info to a text file creates significant problems because the literal character is saved (or not depending on which character it is) to the text file and then won't appear on a reload. Aside from creating our own save utility (which we're working on), have you ever run across this scenario or heard of workarounds for this?

However, it works on mac 9.x systems and all the pc's I could test.
Isn't it strange to make a new os and then this is what you get??
Well, - can anybody tell me a way to get by this problem??

Special Characters
Hi Everyone,
So, here's the skinny. I've got a project that needs to be in French and English. All my text are in text files that have been saved in Unicode UTF-16 format.
Thing is, some special characters are coming through, but not all of them. What's the deal with that? Why would it display some and not all. And the biggest kicker is the same characters that aren't displaying in one area are displaying just fine in another one.
I hope I'm explaining this well, I've been up for 29 hours now and my brain went to bed a few hours back.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Special Characters
I was trying to figure out how to add special characters such as accents, fractions, the symbol for degree, etc to the text in a dynamic scrolling text box. On a FK forum, it said to use ALT plus the right combo of numbers/letters. I tried that--from within the scrolling text box where I wanted the character to appear--holding the alt key as I entered the numbers. Nothing happened. I feel really lame, but...
any suggestions out there?
thanks.

XML Special Characters
When I am loading XML data into my dynamic text boxes special characters are being printed out in their escaped form.
For example, if my XML document says :
<tag>"blah"</tag>
the dynamic text box will print out :
"blah"
I've tried embedding font outlines.
I've tried putting """ into my XML document.
Is there some sort of actionscript command that will tell flash not to translate these?
Thanks.

Special Characters?
Hey,
I'm working on a name-creator for an RPG I'm making.
For the name-creator I'm using *.nam files (just txt files) wich I got from an open-srouce namecreator made in Java.
Because it's hard to work with this, I've made an application wich translates the *.nam files into an array.
The array, and the *.nam files consist of 3 parts. When you randomly pick 1 item of each part, a name is created.
The problem is that when I'm converting the *.nam files to an array, all the special characters are replaced with an can't-find-character-square. So when I copy the generated array to an *.as file (wich get's imported into the name-generater) I have lots of those squares.
Is there a way to go around this?
Thnx in advance,
PS:
- I've uploaded an *.nam file with this, and the result when you put it in the *.nam-to-array-converter.
- When I tried to save the txt-file, the squares were replaced with a '?'

Special Characters Again
Hey thanks to Joe and the others for their help in the newbie section... but I still can't believe there isn't an easy way, like a menu or a key combination to produce special characters in MX 2004.
To make my quesstion clearer..... I really need to find out how to make a text copyright symbol(with the text tool?) and other special characters for that matter. I'm going through this tutorial and they do it in the tutorial...but they just tell to put it in ,and they don't mention anything about special characters or of course how to use them. I checked in the sample files accompaning the book and sure enough there is a copyright symbol inside of text that seems to be created with the text tool
again thanks a bunch,

Special Characters
I have problems with special characters to be seen in Flash MX. Using the Arial CE or Times CE or Courier New etc I can see the special characters while editing the text in the scene. When previewing it as Flash or HTML or whatever I do not see them. Actually not always. That 'not always' confuses me.
I managed somehow to select the whole word with the special character and changed the font from Arial to Times, for instance, but that works sometimes and then it doesn't work again. If I have the whole text written in, let's say, Verdana, and then special characters show in Arial, it's confusing, but then sometimes Arial doesn't show them at at all....and sometimes it does.
I'm talking about special characters like 澹 ---> you can see them here if you change the view code to windows-1250.
I'd deeply appreciate the help

Special Characters In Xml
how can I avoid that special characters drop out in a xml-document?
I've built a calender in flash that I feed with a xml-doc that is exported from a calender program (mozilla). my prob is that this xml-doc is ready tagged when i import it into flash. This causes special characters (norwegian-language - normally tagged å etc.. in html) to drop out when displayed in flash.
What I could do is to include a line of code in the xml doc- before I import it into flash. But my problem is that I want this to be as simple as possible for those who are gonna use the website
therefor:
can I somehow include a sscript or somthing in flash to make flash diplay these caracters?
I use standard components like xml-connector & data grid in my app.
help...

Special Characters
Hi guys,
Just a quick question for you all...
I am loading text from a .txt file on my webserver into a dynamic text field in my flash movie.
This all works fine. However I have problems loading in 'entities' - html coding for special characters such as the pound sign '' being displayed as '£'. The text file has to have these displayed this way and I am unable to change this. I was wondering if there was a way for flash to automatically convert these to proper characters. I don't want to have to sit down a do a load of if statements by hand to change the text for every single instance. This would just take forever.
Any ideas on how to sort this would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
James

I haven't touched Flash in a little while and am having trouble wrapping my head around a simple problem.
I've got a basic form that sends varialbes to PHP which genereates an email. Everything works fine except for certain characters are being automatically URLencoded and I don't want them to be.
If this is my input: & and " and < and >
It will look fine in a dynamic text field: Name: & and " and < and >
But it will trace this: Name: <TEXTFORMAT LEFTMARGIN="5" RIGHTMARGIN="5" LEADING="-6"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#333333" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">& and " and < and ></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
I don't want these variables being passed to PHP with all of this extra font info and URLencoded. Am I overlooking something obvious? Do I need to write some code to replace each HTML entity with it's original character?
Again, I have searched this topic plenty and seen lots of solutions and advice, but none that I can figure out how to make work for me. Thanks in advance.

txtField.antiAliasType = 'normal';
txtField.autoSize = true;
txtField.text = text;
txtField.textColor = 0xff0000;
txtField.setTextFormat(arialReg);}
now: when i open and save the class files with the flash ide, the special charakters like: do render correctly when viewing the swf. but when i open and close the class files with eclipse and fdt, i get rubbish.
under the eclipse properties menu i have utf-8, so i don't know, what else i could do.

Special Characters, Yes I Know But....
So I'm having some serious issues with my flash site showing special characters.
My database is all UTF-8, the tables and the database itself. All the fields too.
My CMS enters information using utf8_encode to the database and displays it again using utf8_decode, and that works fine. Special characters show fine in my HTML pages in the CMS.
I've even used SET NAMES 'utf8' when I connect to my database.
The pages that display my flash content have
<meta http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
in them.
But for some reason I still get the following strange characters showing on my site... see attachment. It should read...
はてなブックマーク
worlds biggest
but it shows that mumbo-jumbo instead (ã¯ã¦ãªããã¯ãã¼ ¯
worldâs â biggest).
Any help in this would be great. I've gone through the other threads on here and tried their solutions but nothing worked and I feel I may be doing something extremely stupid here.
