Cant rotate text properly in Flash MX

When I rotate my text in Flash with the transform tool, it will ONLY export out as a animated gif file not as a swf, or html. The text will appear missing. It looks fine in the fla file, now when I dont "transform" or rotate the text, it comes fine as a swf file. I also noticed the rotating tool in my properties is grayscaled out.
Help.

If you can explain how I could properly embed this, that would be cool but I dont think it's that. I've tried the other fonts in Flash and same thing. I'm also having actionscript problems too and I think It's my Flash software. I just think that it kind of weird that something your working on in the canvas is not outputting what you see and everything is connected right (that I'm aware of)
Thanks.

Jagged edges on rotated text in Flash

Does anyone have a good solution for getting rid of jagged edges on rotated text? I have tried the anti-aliasing options but nothing seems to change the jaggedness.
Any advice is apprecitated.
Thanks!

I don't know if this is the problem, but I've seen some display anomalies when using the scroll wheel on the mouse (typically sideways scroll, but it happens with vertical sometimes, too). I know Logitech mice are affected, but I don't believe it's resticted to just the Logitech mice. Im most cases switching to the Hand tool (use the keyboard shortcut Alt/Opt + Spacebar to access it temporarily) and clicking will clear things up again, sometimes for the rest of the editing session. When I see this, though, it affect all pages not just one.
Does the type clear if you restart ID and reopen the file?

High Score Table: Writing a Simple Text File with Flash and PHP

I am having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP as I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store simple name/score data for a games hi score table. I can read from the text file into Flash easily enough but also need to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. I can send the data from flash to the php file via POST but so far it is not working. The PHP file is confirmed as working as I added an echo to the file which displayed a message so I could check that the server was running PHP - the files were also uploaded to a remote server so I could test them properly. Flash code is as follows:
//php filewriter
var myLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
//sets up variable 'hsdata' to send to php
myLV.hsdata = myText;
myLV.send("hiscores.php");
I believe this sends the variable 'myText' to the php file as a variable called 'hsdata' which I want the php file to write into a text file. The mytext variable is just a long string that has all the scores and names in the hiscore. OK, XML would be better way of doing this but for speed I just want to get basic functionality working, so storing a simple text sting is adequate for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash 'hsdata' variable and writes it to the text file 'scores.txt' follows:
<?php
//assigns to variable the data POSTed from flash
$flashdata = $_POST["hsdata"];
//file handler opens file and erases all contents with w arg
$fh = fopen("scores.txt","w");
//adds data to file
fwrite ($fh,$flashdata);
//closes file
fclose ($fh);
echo 'php file is working';
?>
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated - once I can get php to write simple text files I should be ok. Thanks.

Thanks for your help.
I have got Flash working to a certain extent with PHP using loadVars but have been unable to get flash to receive a variable declared in PHP. Here's my Flash code:
var outLV = new LoadVars();
var inLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
outLV.hsdata = "Hello from Flash";
outLV.sendAndLoad("http://www.mysite.com/hiscores/test23.php",inLV,"post");
inLV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
//sets dynamic text box to show variable sent from php
statusTxt.text = phpmess;
} else {
statusTxt.text = "No Data Received";
This works ok and the inLV.onLoad function reports that it is receiving data but does not display the variable received from PHP. The PHP file is like this:
<?php
$mytxt =$_POST['hsdata'];
$myfile = "test23.txt";
$fh = fopen($myfile,'w');
//adds data to file
fwrite($fh, $mytxt);
//closes file
fclose ($fh);
$mess = "hello there from php";
echo ("&phpmess=$mess&");
?>
The PHP file is correctly receiving the hsdata from flash and writing it to a text file, but there seems to be a problem with the final part of the code which is intended to send a variable called 'phpmess' back to Flash, this is the string "hello there from php". How do I set up Flash and PHP so that PHP can send a variable back to Flash using echo? Really have tried everything but am totally baffled. Online tutorials have given numerous different syntax configurations for how the PHP file should be written which has really confused me - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Overlay Drop Down Links/Rotating Text Over Graphic/Background

I am fairly new to DW and am currently using Dreamweaver CS4. I would like to overlay drop down links and rotating text over a graphic image/background and am curious as to how this would best be accomplished. Is each piece; background/graphic, drop down links and rotating text a different layer? Can this type of thing be created using just DW or do I need Flash or something else? Please let me know if I should provide an example on the web to illustrate what it is I am trying to do - I wasn't sure if it is permissible to post links to sites that you don't own or are affiliated with in some way.
I don't expect to be spoon feed but getting pointed in the right direction on what to research would be a big help!

Is each piece a different layer?
Not necessary to put everything inside an APDiv or layer.
The best advice I can offer is to build unstyled HTML content logically from top to bottom of page. I know, plain HTML is ugly but that's OK.
Then use CSS to add background images/colors, text/menu styles and alignment. Use default CSS positioning (which is no positioning at all) and use margins, padding and floats to arrange elements where you want them.
See sample CSS Layout: (view code to see how it's done)
http://alt-web.com/TEMPLATES/I-page-with-floats.html
Can this type of thing be created using just DW or do I need Flash or something else?
If you can work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code, you can do everything you want in Dreamweaver. Flash is certainly optional but many devices (iPhones...) don't support Flash.
Start by learning the basics first, then DW will be much easier for you to use.

Loading text file with flash lite 3.0 problem

Hello,
I recently ran into a problem with loading a plain text file with Flash Lite 3.0.
I know there is a way to load name/value pairs using LoadVars class or XML file using XML class. Both methods work great, but these classes parse the data loaded and I need to load just a plain text - no pairs or xml structure. (its because Im loading specific file format, so I can't make any changes to it)
There is a simple way how to achieve this in Flash using Actionscript 2 by extending the LoadVars class and overriding the onData() method. I used it plenty of times and it works fine.
There is an example of implementation:
// the PlainData.as file
class PlainData extends LoadVars {
    function onData(str) {
        trace(str)
        this.onLoad(true);
// now in the main file
var my_data:PlainData = new PlainData();
my_data.load("my3dmodel.obj");
This code traces unchanged content of my3dmodel.obj file.
The problem comes when I try to run this code using Flash Lite 3.0. The code stops working just by changing player version in publish settings to Flash Lite 3.0. It doesnt display any error, but also doesnt trace any content.
Is there a reason why you cant override onData method in LoadVars class in lite version of flash or am I doing something wrong?
(also overriding onLoad() method works fine in Flash Lite)

Step 1: rotating text, step: 2 publishing movie = empty swf

Hello to everybody,
and thank you for the attenction.
An easy to descipt, but hard to solve issue:
(Flash CS4).
I type some text in a flash document.
Then I rotate it with the scale/rotation tool.
Publishing my movie I have an empty swf file.
To solve this problem I had to Break Apart (Command+B) my
text two times, until I've lost text editability.
Is there a way to escape from this?
Thank you very much.
Best reguards.
Stefano Bianchi

Problem soved!
You know what?
You have to go in the Text propiety panel, select the "Anti
Alias" menu, and - to mantain visibility of text in the swf movie -
you have to select one of the others voices instead of the "use
device fonts" one.
Best things.

Setting text encoding for Flash when being used

Many Korean web sites use Flash, and many of them are made in
the text encoding "windows Korean"
when I use windows it shows those sites as intended because
the text encoding of flash player in windows is set to "windows
Korean"
but on my mac, I believe Flash player uses UTF-8 regardless
of my web browser setting and many Korean Flash web sites don't
work as intended.
Is there something I can do to make them show windows-Korean
encoded characters? Any suggestion appreciated. Thank you.

Ok, thank you. I gave up trying to understand html right around when the "blink" tag came out, and I just get paranoid every time I do a reinstall that I'm missing some critical part. I like the validator-- never knew about that.
Now, if you do a search on the source code for that ETToday page, somewhere far down you'll come to another section that reads:
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=big5">
blah blah blah
This does appear to be properly formatted, and maybe it's there specficially for English-default browsers. However, perhaps neither Safari nor the validator are picking up this, or maybe it's referring to something else altogether?
thanks,
dave

Cant send texts

Hi,
I haqve just moved to Tenerife and got a movistar sim. I can recieve calls and texts but cant send texts. I have tried to resend the service books but it wont allow me saying "your device had a problem connecting to the server". When i try send a text it says "requested facility not implented". What do I do?

Greeting and welcome to the Forums!
Text messages, such as SMS? Those are not enabled by Service Books.
I found this:
Cause No. 50 - requested facility not subscribed.
This cause indicates that the user has requested a supplementary service which is implemented by the equipment which generated this cause but the user is not authorized to use.
What it means:
The switch looks at the number being dialed and thinks it is for another service rather than ISDN. If the phone number is put in the correct format, the call should be placed properly. There are no standards for this, all Telcos have their own system for programming the number formats that the switches will recognize. Some systems want to see 7 digits, some 10, and others 11.
I'd recommend you call Movistar and see if there are SMS encoding settings or a switch they must make on their end.

I just got an iphone 6 plus and I cant receive texts from android or nokia users??
I previously had a iphone 4s and iphone 5. Set up my phone as a brand new phone and I cant receive any texts from any of my friends that have android or nokia users and cant receive pictures from them also. Its very frustrating...does anyone have any fixes of solutions to this???

SMS is a carrier feature. Start by contacting your carrier and making sure your account is properly configured. Even if it was before, sometimes changing phones causes glitches.

How do you rotate text

I am looking to rotate text 90 degrees. I cant seem to find this basic function in numbers.

Hi Bru,
Text rotation is possible in Shapes and Text Boxes, but not in Tables. You can put a rotated image into a table cell, but you won't be able to use the text in the image in any functions.
Here's the way I prefer for placing rotated text into a Table Cell.
Insert > Text Box
Type text into box
Size the text and set the box dimensions to your liking - not critical on the size, but the proportions are important
Click once on the box to select the object, not the text inside
Rotate the object in the direction you desire
Command-C to copy the object to the Clipboard
Switch to Preview.app
Command-N to make a PDF of the Clipboard Content
Command-C to place the PDF file on the clipboard
Switch back to Numbers
Command-V to paste it to the cell where you want it
It takes less time to do it than to tell about it.
Jerry
I made an error in my sequence in the original post - now corrected.

Missing rotated text in PDF created via FPDF

Hi guys,
I have a weird problem which is preventing some rotated text to be viewed in adobe reader, while every other reader like foxit, google pdf viewer and scrib are doing just fine!
if you create a flyer using following link
http://www.erupert.ca/classifieds/create_flyer/ad/32_1306248214
the generated PDF displays just fine in google document viewer but if I download and open the same in Adobe reader the pull tab text (text rorated 90 degrees) vanish, again the PDF is just fine in foxit reader as well!
What am I doing wrong, any ideas would be much appriciated.
Also here is the code to rotate text I'm using by extending the FPDF class
function Rotate($angle,$x=-1,$y=-1)
if($x==-1) $x=$this->x;
        if($y==-1) $y=$this->y; //echo "{$this->x} - {$this->y}";die();
        if($angle!=0) $this->_out('Q');
        $angle=$angle;
        if($angle!=0)
$angle*=M_PI/180;
$c=cos($angle);
$s=sin($angle);
$cx=$x*$this->k;
$cy=($this->h-$y)*$this->k;
$this->_out(sprintf('q %.5f %.5f %.5f %.5f %.2f %.2f cm 1 0 0 1 %.2f %.2f cm',$c,$s,-$s,$c,$cx,$cy,-$cx,-$cy));
OS: Windows Any ( >= XP)
Adobe version X (latest updates)
Thanks,
Anupam

Hello anupam,
I know this is a particularly old thread, however i thought i'd post the solution here for others who may have been searching around for a solution to this very same problem and come across this thread.
As George has correctly stated it is an issue with the unbalanced q and Q operators. I recognise the provided piece of code, it is of course a snippet from a generation class such as FPDF or TCPDF or HTML2PDF, the error occurs when the rotation is not returned to 0 before finalising the document.
i.e. You would have used something like $pdf -> Rotate(270,60,50) or $this -> Rotate(270,60,50) where 270=the degree of rotation , 60=the x coordinate , 50=the y coordinate.
Once you've completed writing all your text, lines, images, cells you need to make sure to reset the rotate i.e. $pdf -> Rotate(0) prior to Outputting the pdf to screen or saving it as a file.

How do I rotate text within a table Pages 4.3?

Does anyone know how to rotate text within a cell in a Pages 4.3 table?

You would have to use a floating text box over the cell. Make sure text wrap is turned off.

Can't change rotating text on revoltion theme after I delete the menu text.

So I export a slideshow to iDVD. By default you have the revolution theme. There is text that says revolution main in the body of the menu and it says revolution main on the rotating text. There is also a button for my slideshow. So I change the revolution main text to what I want the rotating text to be then delete that text on the main menu. The rotating text then stays. But if I want to then change it, I can't see any way to do so because I deleted the button. What was it that I deleted? How do I get it back. I thought it was the title menu, so I add a new title menu button and try to change the text but the rotating text won't change. I am probably missing something simple, but I can't for the life of me figure it out.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Hi,

can anyone help?

Rotating text without embedding fonts - how?

No doubt same or similar question was asked and most likely answered but I could not
find anything that would match...
I want to draw column headers of my ADG vertically. So, I need rotate column text 90 degree
and adjust position.
Is it true that it can be achieved with embedded font only? If it is true how can it be done for
Unicode code, which includes ranges for Japanese, Chinese, etc characters. The size of
swf is going to be huge. Several sites like this
http://www.forestandthetrees.com/2009/06/29/rotating-text-without-embedding-fonts/
claims that they have a solution for the problem without embedding fonts.
Note: I am still using Flex 3.3 SDK with no TLF. By the way, do TLF libraries work with
3.3 SDK.?
Thanks in advance

Draw your text onto a bitmap image (or take an ImageSnapshot of a Label), then rotate the image.

I cant receive text

Hi lwatkins! Do you use the default messaging client on the phone or a custom application? Do you get an error message when the message comes in? If so, what does it say? Does the sender get some kind of alert that the message they sent cannot be delivered?
