Flash :: Oops - Copy Paste Html Text Didn't Work

Dyn. Text - Special Char. - Embed, Html Code, Urlencode Didn't Work :(
Hi all,

I'm loading external text from a .txt file and render it as HTML.

Now i've a problem with a special character.

I've solved the first one, which was %, i replaced it with %25 and is working fine.

Now i've got this char: ë

I've embeded "all glyphs" and even entered the char in a textfield outside my movie to make sure, also added it using "include these characters" in the embed options. But no succes. I tried urlencode by using %eb, still no succes. Also the html code ë didn;t work... also tried it together with urlencode %26euml%3b but still no succes.

Is there any way to make this work?

Thanks in advance!

Copy And Paste From .as Script Doesnt Work In New Fla
I've had a mysterious problem with some flash movies. In movie A, the code was all contained in a .as file, and worked fine in conjunction with the main movie. When this part of the project was complete, I copied and pasted the code from the .as file into movie B, along with the graphics and other clips from movie A.

However, the code (from the .as file) didn't work when it was pasted into the actions panel of movie B. Numbers which had worked out fine with math functions in movie A were showing up as NaN in movie B, and eventually I typed the little chunk of code in directly to the actions panel (instead of pasting in again) and it worked.

Now, why would this be? Does copy and paste strip all actionScript powers? Has anyone else had this problem?

Sorry about that guys..... damn Enter key!

Anywayz, As I was saying...... I'm making a whack-A-mole style game using Flash 5 that just isn't working at all. I need to learn how to make games because I'm making an educational site for Japanese kids to teach them English....

I have all the graphics and everything set. My "thing-to-be-whacked" animation is a rat. The rat movie clip has a first frame that is a just a hole, frames 2~14 are the animation of the rat getting hit (frame label "hit"), and the rest of the frames are the popup animation...

I don't know if I need to put any stop commands on the first, "hit", or "popup" animation frames... That's my first problem....

Copy Paste And Plain Text Alignment
Everyone is probably already aware of this, but I just learned about it yesterday.

I have been having trouble getting my text to maintain Plain Text formatting when I copy/pasted text into Flash.

The text I copied into Flash did not maintain the same spacing as the source I was copying it from.

The solution.. Use Courier Font. That is all it took. As soon as I used Courier, the spaces and format was maintained.

Just thought I would share since I was pulling my hair out re-aligning my text everytime I pasted text into Flash.

Copy And Paste Of TEXT SCROLLER, CHANGING TEXT, To Stay For Each Section......?
here's the problem:

I have a text scroller I took from a fla. file on here.
on my site, I wanted to just change the text. in the text scroller, and
place it in diffrent sections of my site a number of times with diffrent text.

I do not have a problem, copying and pasting the scroller.
But when I change the text from one section, to the next, it will make all the text the same.

If I copy the scroller and paste it somewhere else, swap the text it will change all to that last text I entered.

I tried, typing one section's text. Then copy/pasting the scroller, and putting new text, and converting that text to a symbol (graphic). Hoping it would work but had no LUCK.

This is huge and i need help, considering I am a newbie, there has got to be away this can be accomplished so I dont have to build seperate text holders/scroller, for all 15 sections of my site.

Let me know..and thank you all so much.

Copy/Paste Mac Bug
Hi Folks,

I think I've encountered a bug with the macintosh player. Could someone else test the attached code and tell me if I'm crack or not and if you can think of a clever solution.

The code is quite simple. Two text boxes and a button on screen. Type text in text field one, click save, the text is displayed in text field two.

Typing in text by hand in textbox one works fine. If you cut and paste text into text field 1 from say word and then click the button any line breaks in the pasted text are erased. This was tested on mac.

Copy & Paste ?
Is it possible to to do the following with Flash?

One movie contains 15 buttons which when pressed pastes a letter into another movie.

Would this code be in the right direction? Any idea how I could modify it?

Code:
on (release){
System.setClipboard("some text");
}

I've been playing round with Macromedias LC tut but it's not really working for me...

Have attached swf of the idea. Buttons need to be in a seperate swf though. Does anyone know how to do that?

Copy And Paste An Array
I used flash MX for awhile, primarily for educational applications in foreign language. I've written several quiz type templates that use arrays. My arrays are often very large. In the past I have typed my arrays in word and cut and pasted them into my templates. Recently I upgraded to MX 2004. When I paste the arrays they are not recognized by MX 2004, but if I type them directly into MX 2004 they are recognized. Anyone have an explanation?? I would rather not type them directly into the MX 2004 action script panel because the type is too small. Thanks.

Copy And Paste Never Works
Hi! I have a half finished Flash that I would like to use as Scene 2 of another flash I am currently working on. What's the fastest way of doing this? I tried "copy and Paste frames" which probably was completely stupid, because the a box appeared that says "One or more library items already exists in the document. Do you want to replace?" If I click yes, Scene 1 is very messed up. If I click no, scene 2 is very messed up. So, copy and pasting didn't work. At all. Any suggestions?

Oh, if it helps, I have Flash MX 2004.

Why Cant I Copy/paste Frames?
I am running on a Mac (OS 10.3.9) and cannot use the keyboard shortcuts to copy/paste frames. When I try, the edit menu heading flashes but nothing happens however if I have any menu dropped down when I hit the shortcut it works.

All other shortcuts work fine and it works if I select it through edit>timeline>copy frames.

Have never had much call for it in the past but am now working on a project where it would be REALLY nice not to have to keep going through the menus.

Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone suggest a way to sort it out?

COPY/PASTE Actionscript
Newbie to Flash 8 PRO here, MAC OSX.

I am trying to learn Flash through some online tutorials and reading any documentation I can get.

Several tutorials call for me to COPY and PASTE the actionscript.

I have tried and cannot get this to happen.

I realize I must create a new layer, an action layer, named actions.
I then, select this layer, select the first frame, and click command key to access the pull down menu and click on ACTIONS to access the ACTIONS Panel. So far so good.

I then go to my code, select it, Copy....go back to the actions panel, I see the blinking cursor, I paste and nothing.

Please, what might I be doing wrong? All the tutorials I have attempted require pasting some type of actionscript. I know this must be basic but what am I doing wrong?

Thank You.

PS This is the part of the tutorial that I cannot get past
" Now, all you have left to do is add the ActionScript code. Create a new layer called actions. Right click on the empty keyframe and copy and paste the following code:"

I can get the script pasted to a .as file but how do I get it to the Actions Panel itself. Every tutorial specifies JUST Copy and Past to your Actions window. Whelp...that JUST doesn't work.

Thank You and Good Night.

Secure Copy And Paste
Hi, I'm trying to implement a "secure" copy and paste in my app. By "secure" I mean that I'm trying to make it as difficult as possible for a user to copy content from a large TextField and paste it say in a Word doc for redistribution.

I already have custom copy / paste buttons that work by saving any needed data to a virtual object instead of the system's clipboard. Now, I need to know 2 more things.

First, is it possible to hide the "copy" and "paste" context menu items for a TextField when a user right clicks on a TextField? I know you can use the ContextMenu object to hide built-in items for the flash player, but I haven't been able to figure out how to hide the built-in items for the TextField menu.

Secondly, I need to be able to disable the ctrl-c / ctrl-v shortcut keys, and ideally trap them for use with my virtual clipboard that I've created. I'm assuming I can do that by using fscommand, trapallkeys, and System.setClipboard? I haven't tried that part yet, but does anybody foresee any problems?

Thanks.
