missing characters in dynamic text

Hello. It's me again. I need to return to school for programming rather than designing them. I searched on several forums for this answer, but they are all different and I'm still confused. I use dynamic text boxes for import into my text. On frame one I just: loadVariables ("text.txt", "_root");

My problem is that I can't see brands apostrophe or quotation marks. I read things about URLencode and I don't really understand that. I tried to use the property inspector to integrate, but that no longer works. At this time a small symbol with a questionmark where citations should be there, but when I embed the character in the property inspector, the citations aren't there, but there is also no symbol. Any help would be great. Thank you.

So I figured this out and it was just a really stupid mistake. I didn't know that you need to convert your text UTF-8 document. I did this and it works fine now. Thanks for all the help. I'm sure that they the URL encoding will be useful also.

  • dynamic text don't show some characters

    Hi guys,.
    I have a problem... I have a dynamic text in my flash and it's reading a txt vars file, but it does not read some Portuguese characters like c C or accents such as a a  Â...
    I tried to embendding theses characters on my dynamic text, choose to integrate > all and it does not work... I already tried to write them on the text box and add > AutoFill, but it still works!
    am I missing something? help me, please!

    Well the characters you mentioned must be both more regular fonts. They are just exotic enough to justify a full unicode font. I'm guessing that touches something else. Of course that depends on what the font you're using. But most of the fonts that come with a computer and a regular software should have these characters.

    You mention that you read the vars from a txt file. Try this in the test environment. Test publish your FLA and once the text file has been read go up to the menu debug and list Variables. Some place it should be the content of the text file. The characters display correctly there?

    If they are not, then the problem is that Flash is not properly read the text file and no police will be able to fix this. Be sure you save your file as UTF-8 text. Flash does not play so well with the other formats and beyond the range of basic ASCII text files.

    If they appear correctly in the Variables from the list. Then you know that the problem is with your fonts. As I said most of the fonts should have these characters so after back if you need assistance.

  • Can I put Chinese and English characters in the same dynamic text box?

    I translate a game in several languages, which is Chinese. I noticed that in an area of dynamic text where English characters are included, they are not displayed when the .swf is exported. The police is embedded in the document with the selected characters. It seems that any character language is initially displayed in the text box, the other language is impossible. For example, if there are Chinese characters first, then English, the English will not display and vice versa. No matter what work around on this? I use Flash CS5 and Actionscript 2.0. Thank you!

  • problem with the characters of the text field

    Hi all

    I'm missing a few characters, once I insert the text in a dynamic text field. characters are not lacking by saying; they are replaced by empty squares.

    characters such as the euro symbol and accentuated German letter.

    What is weird is that the other German accented letters appear. If only a few selected are missing.

    How Ive set up the FLA:

    (1) I added 4 text fields to the scene to police im using, Arial, one for each font style: normal, italic, bold and bold italic and in all 4 fields ive incorporated all Latin characters (to include the German characters accentuaded and im guessing it is in the punctuation group that contains the euro symbol so that one is also incorporated), not to mention as lowercase, uppercase, numeric, and all the groupd default to include the basic text.

    (2) I have a dynamic text field created with createTextField, and set up the ActionScript code following (2):

    This.createTextField("hello_txt",0,10,10,100,20) ("T_text", 1,0,10,Stage.width-60, 50);

    var myFmt = new TextFormat();

    myFmt.size = 12;

    myFmt.leading = 3;

    myFmt.font = "Arial";

    T_text.html = true;

    T_text. AutoSize = 'left ';

    T_text. Multiline = true;

    T_text.WordWrap = true;

    T_text. Selectable = false;

    T_text.embedFonts = false;

    T_text. TextColor = "0 x 666666 ';

    T_text.htmlText = _global.gallery_1_image_text_1; This holds the im text, called in a database.

    T_text.setNewTextFormat (myFmt);

    now, I'm composing text in a database.

    When calling the text from the browser's address bar, there is no missing characters.

    It's just when I make this appeal of flash and load the text in the dynamic text field, that the characters will be missed.

    Here is a link to a screenshot of the text that is displayed in the text field Dynamics defective flash.

    http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/340/UTF8.PNG

    any ideas? I mean, it seems that the arial font is missing some characters accented! because the code that I have installed loads other accented characters.

    someone has seen this problem before and know how to solve?

  • masking dynamic text

    Newbie here, so try to not be offended if it is really stupid...

    Is there anyway to use a mask on a dynamic text field. When I add a layer mask over my dynamic text in author mode field, it seems to work, but as soon as I test, dynamic text seems to disappear. If I do the static dynamic text field, masking works very well. But I don't seem to be able to give an instance name of static text and therefore can not access in actionscript. Am I missing something here?

    In a more general way, I read in a book called Flash 8 Cookbook that the TextArea component is quite heavy and you may sometimes be better to develop your own scrolling text field. Does anyone have ideas on this?

    Yes, you miss something, police States :)
    A Flash animation is impossible or mask the text that isn't contours. Static text has by
    by default. Dynamic text needs the contours to include, through the field text property
    Panel or action script.
    Static text, once entered, is on stage. Flash can bring together all the characters and include
    its outline when exported. Although this is not the case with dynamic text. There is none
    text for flash gives a glimpse of so you must include vector fonts
    manually.
    Select your dynamic text field, press CTRL F3 to open the properties panel.
    Once you have it, search for EMBED button on the right side.
    Hold down the CTRL key and select, Upper, Lower, digital, punctuation...
    or any that you need. If you have something like name from a dynamic source
    You can include characters or just small beach. Include all except
    you need it. It increases the size of the file, not much, but with the complex of all the little projects
    bytes and there contribute to overall large file.

    That is right. Most of the components are what we call Bloatware.
    Can't blame Macromedia tho :) Imagine a component that is intended for general usage requirements
    and the variety of options, we might want to have with her. Engineers usually more code
    make an adjustment, which makes klunky and large at the same time. To make your own, it is
    really much easier has many advantages, customization to the bottom line to have total control
    above him.

  • Adobe animate CC HTML5 - setting length max on a dynamic text box

    Hi guys,.

    I hope someone can help...

    I'm trying to set a maximum length of a dynamic text to only 10 characters box.

    These work perfectly by the way:

    Screen.tab01.txt.text = labelSomeText;

    Screen.tab01.txt.color = "#424242";

    However I can't get this to work:

    Screen.tab01.txt.MaxLength = "10";

    Can someone please advice what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you man!

    You do not specify if you speak a native textfield object, or an element of HTML text overlay.

    For HTML text input elements, the property to set is "maxlength", all lowercase.

    For native textfield objects, there is no max length, width property maximum of only. You will need to manually apply any character limit in the code that defines the contents of the textfield object.

  • Why my dynamic text fields are not complete?

    For some reason are not filling most of my fields of dynamic text. The only new thing before it stopped working correctly, I added was a new button, but anyway... Whether or not I take the key, no text field is filling. It is on all the layers I have. If I change the font of text fields, they begin to fill in correctly... and when I do all the characters of the same type... they begin to fill not more!

    OK by adding '&' in the beginning was not a good idea, it seems that the best way is really to change your PHP so that it includes no extra blank characters at the beginning, but if you want to manage this side Flash you can do the following:

    1. restore your PHP to how it was before the return data do not begin by '& '.

    2. Remove myLoader.dataFormat = pouvez; so that the loader loads the data as string

    3. in your onDataLoad function follow these steps:

    function onDataLoad(evt:Event):void {
         var data:String = e.target.data;
         data = data.replace(/\s/g, ""); // remove extra white spaces from the data received
         var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(data); // create URLVariables object from the data string
         trace(vars.tcname_1); // traces "CherokeeSweetGum"
         ...
    }

  • Scroll event: movieclip instead of dynamic text

    Hello everyone. I am very very new to actionscript, so probably my question sounds a bit ridiculous.

    I'm putting an Arabic text to scroll with a custom scroll bar. So I found a nice video in youtube , all this with a dynamic text field. It works wonderful for Latin characters (from left to right and separated from the letters) but unfortunately not for Arabic characters (they don't connect). In fact, I do not use just a movieclip with the text instead of the dynamic text field. But I don't know how to change the actionscript code for the video instead of the dynamic text field.

    Here I show you the code for the scrolling text in a dynamic text field (it's a small code), on the stage, I got just the dynamic text field (instance name: texto_txt), the scroll bar (a vertical line, the name of the instance: scrollBar_mc) and the scrolling itself (a small rectangle, the instance name (:scrollHandle_mc):

    var content: String = "cjeihfirehjfejlkfjkerjfirjfejifjrijwkjfirwjeknlkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkllllllll";

    texto_txt. Text = content;
    texto_txt.WordWrap = true;

    var min: number = scrollHandle_mc.y;

    var max: number = min +(scrollBar_mc.height-scrollHandle_mc.height);

    var range: number = max - min;

    var arrastrando: Boolean = false;

    the var limits: Rectangle = new Rectangle (scrollHandle_mc.x, scrollHandle_mc.y, 0, scrollBar_mc.height - scrollHandle_mc.height);

    scrollHandle_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, arrastrandoScroll);

    stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopIt);

    function arrastrandoScroll(mouseEvent:MouseEvent)

    {

    scrollHandle_mc.startDrag (false, bounds);

    arrastrando = true;

    scrollHandle_mc.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, progress);

    }

    function stopIt(mouseEvent:MouseEvent)

    {

    scrollHandle_mc.stopDrag ();

    arrastrando = false;

    }

    function progress(e:Event)

    {

    var moverScroll:Number = scrollHandle_mc.y - min;

    var p: Number = moverScroll/range;

    If (arrastrando is true)

    {

    texto_txt.scrollV = % * texto_txt.maxScrollV;

    }

    }

    What I want to do is clear the dynamic text field and use rather a movieclip (text_mc) which already includes the text, the bounding box would be a mask. How can I change the actionscript code? Could someone help me?

    It isn't really a question of mathematics, as it is a logical reasoning, but if you plan to do things with the lineup, you expect better familiarize themselves with the learning of mathematics as well.  Programming and math go hand in hand.

    This is a simplified explanation of what your code should-> if you move the wheel of 25% of the total distance, it can move, then the movieclip should be moved 25% of the distance, he can move (in the sense of oppostie).

    Your scroll handle can be moved from a predefined distance.  In your code, this is called the "range".  See if you can understand how this value is determined in 3 lines of code.

    var min: number = scrollHandle_mc.y;

    var max: number = min +(scrollBar_mc.height-scrollHandle_mc.height);

    var range: number = max - min;

    Later depending on your progress, you can see where the handle of the scrollbar values com into play again to determine where to place the textfield object.  But if we change that to be the movieclip, it becomes more similar to the following...

    function progress(e:Event)

    {

    var moverScroll:Number = scrollHandle_mc.y - min;

    var p: Number = moverScroll/range;

    If (arrastrando is true)

    {

    yourMC.y = % * (yourMCmaxY-yourMCminY) + yourMCMinY;

    where yourMCmaxY-yourMCminY's range of movement of the mc

    who is likely to be negative since yMax is likely< ymin="" for="" the="">

      }

    }

  • "BOLD" in dynamic text

    Hello

    I have a dynamic text on my stage called text_txt

    I want to write the HTML < b > < u > test < /b > < / u >

    add_txt_style (text_txt);
    function add_txt_style(t:TextField):void {}

    t.condenseWhite = true;
    t.Selectable = false;
    var frm:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

    t.antiAliasType = "Advanced";
    t.gridFitType = "pixels";
    t.embedFonts = true;
    t.setTextFormat (frm);

    }

    text_txt.htmlText = "< b > < u > test < /b > < / u >.

    The text is UNDERLINED, BUT NOT "BOLD"

    Did I miss something?

    Thank you very much

    in your code, you have assigned Arial only if your textfield uses ArialBold and is expected to see the same problem as you described above.

    the simplest (but not necessarily the best) for you to do is to add a (hidden) textfield and embed arial bold in this textfield.

  • Why a dynamic text box have a word limit?

    Hello

    I'm having some problems atm with flash and I was wondering if I ask too many flash or if I'm being stupid. Basically, what I'm trying to achieve is a box that has 300 px 300px, in this box, I have a text I want to place inside. As I would like to be able to regularly update this box (it's a news feed), I've linked as a .txt file. The problems I encountered is that the flash seems to have a limit on the amount of text it will allow in a dynamic text field. As though I have more text in my txt document, its does not appear. That's how I came to the presumtion that flash needs to limit the amount of text.

    I not mistaken, or is there something that I am missing?

    I downloaded the file on my web space for ppl to have a peek.

    Yes, but you missed it...  Who & between angels and urchins creates a second variable, or at least put an end to that you count all this text to be.  You need to get out of there.  Since you are using a text file, I don't know what to say regarding what to use instead another that 'and '.
