Dynamic Text Field is not displaying foreign characters... HELP!

I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
Here's what I've tried.
Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly? What am I missing? Please help...

More info: I'm noticing that in the actual dynamic text field in my .FLA file, if I type a foreign character like é, it pops up as a block. My family font is set to New Caledonia... is it possible that New Caledonia doesn't have those particular glyphs? The thing that doesn't make sense to me though is, last year when I made this card, it worked fine with New Caledonia... Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Text Field is not displaying in MIRO , Screen Variant SHD0

Hi,
All Experts.
In my client TEXT field is not there in MIRO T.code. I heard Screen Variant can be a good option for adding field in MIRO.
Or is there any work around to bring TEXT ( SGTXT ) field in MIRO ?
I gone through the already posted threads regarding this, unfortunately no any perfect solution found.
Experts help will be great on this.
Regards,
Sharvari Joshi.

Hi,
Go to SHD0 and enter transaction code as MIRO
Then in first tab "Standard variant", sub tab "Standard Variants", do F4 on the field "Name"
You will get the list of the standard Variants for MIRO.
Then select one of them and press enter. It the "Activate Match Stick" is enables, that means that standard variant is not activated yet. Similarily check for other standard variants of MIRO.
If all the standard variant have "Activate Match Stick" enabled, then SAP MIRO should be showing SGTXT as a part of standard SAP.

Values for htmldb_item.text field do not display in CSV output

HTML DB experts,
I have a report query with the following 2 items in the SELECT statement:
wwv_flow_item.display_and_save(2, DOC_CD, 10) DOC_CD,
htmldb_item.text(3, DOC_DESC, 50, 255) DOC_DESC
I have enabled the CSV output for this report. The problem is, when I generate a csv file, only the DOC_CD (wwv_flow_item.display_and_save) displays. The values for the DOC_DESC (htmldb_item.text) do not display. What do I need to do to get the DOC_DESC to display?
Thanks for your help.

Items rendered using htmldb_item generate HTML tags on the form, not plain text. You are right, the CSV export excludes them.
Your best best is to create another report region on some other page with the same query except replace all the htmldb_item() calls with regular columns i.e. make it a read-only report and use the "export: CSV" template and put up a link to this page at the bottom of your editable report (instead of the builtin CSV link). This way when you click on this link, it will generate your report and immediately offer to export it to CSV
Hope this helps.

Not seeing all letters in dynamic text fields

I think that I have properly embedded the Verdana font (see image below). However, in my Flash game, dynamic text fields do not show certain letters, such as X and J. What am I missing? Is there a safer font that I should be using besides Verdana?

First I dressed up as a ninja, then hung upside down from a chandelier by my legs while cradling my laptop with my left arm. Then I produced the image shown below by accessing Text > Font Embedding.
I also observed that the embedded font was added to my library (below).

Displaying images in dynamic text fields

Hi, I am having some difficulty getting my images to display
in a dynamic text field. The images are linked from a txt file with
the <img src=""> tag however they are not showing up in the
text area. The rest of the html are rendering fine except the image
tag. My example online is here:
www.supernaturalmedia.com.
Here is the code I used in Flash:
var style_sheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var css_url = "global.css";
style_sheet.load(css_url);
news.StyleSheet = style_sheet;
loadVariables("projects_news.txt", this.news);
My css styles also isn't loadin so i temporarily am using
html styles for formatting. I'd like to get the css to work as
well.
My movie is published as Flash Player 6, AS 2.0.
I'd appreciate any helpful advice.
Thanks,
Stanton

1. don't assign the stylesheet property of your textfield
until loading of global.css is complete. ie, use the onLoad handler
for stylesheets.
2. you have movieclip images that are linked for export and
you're using their linkage id in src property of the img
tag?

F8as2-displaying leading zeros in a dynamic text field

F8as2-
Background:
Currently I have to use two different text fields to display 10000 due to the different font sizes.
The 10 is a larger font and the 000 is a smaller font. When I assign '0 'to the dynamic text fields of the smaller font I get just that a '0' not a '000' which is what I want.
Question:
Is there an easy way to display leading zeros in a dynamic text field? Or can a dynamic text field have different character positions displayed in different font sizes? or both?
Thanks for the help.

F8as2-
Thanks for the reply kglad.
Are for saying the best way to display numerically calculated numbers that need leading zeros and or different font sizes is to convert them to a string for display purposes with textFormatting??

Update not displaying foreign language characters

I just upgraded to iTunes 9.1 for Windows 7, and now when I open it, the library no longer displays foreign characters (most specifically Japanese and Korean) anymore. It just shows boxes where the text should be. I'm worried that if I re-sync my iPod, it will only display boxes on that, too. Before I updated, everything was working fine and the library had no problem displaying foreign characters. Is there a way to fix this problem?

try to find about SP3,, and if you found that your languages supported then upgrade to it

HTML links won't display in Dynamic Text Field

I am loading external text files in dynamic text fields on my
webage. These texts contain html links (<a href="page.html"
target="_blank">Click Here</a> and I have "render as HTML"
on and "selectable" off in my dynamic text field. Also, I am
loading a CSS file. Not only do I not have a hand cursor, but I do
not even have any of the text from that piece of html code down.
What is going on with this? Please respond asap, as I have been
struggling with this for a day now. Here is the Actionscript for
loading the CSS:
var flash_css = new TextField.StyleSheet();
flash_css.load("styles.css");
flash_css.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
zloc_txt.styleSheet = flash_css;
} else {
trace("Error loading CSS file.");
var zloc_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
zloc_lv.load("zloc.txt");
zloc_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
zloc_txt.text = this.content;
} else {
trace("unable to load text file.");
zloc_txt.html = true;
zloc_txt.editable = false;
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle("backgroundColor" ,
"transparent");
_global.styles.TextArea.setStyle("border styles" , "solid");
Here is a sample of the text file code:
&content=<span class="headline">Northwest Arkansas
Locations</span>
121 Main St.
Russellville, AK 77801
(626) 111-1111<br />
<html><a href="
http://www.mapquest.com"
target="_blank">Click Here for Driving
Directions</a></html><br />
Thanks for the help,
Chuck

The error is here:
zloc_txt.text = this.content;
Even if you rendered the textfield as HTML, you still need to
tell flash that the variable you are inserting is HTML. Therefore
you need to use the htmlText property.
zloc_txt.htmlText = this.content;

How do I embed multiple font outlines in dynamic text field

Can anyone tell me how I can embed multiple font outlines in
Flash MX so I can get smooth text in a dynamic
text frame? I want to use Regular, bold and italic in various
parts of the text.
I was using the Character button in the properties manager
and tried to include all Characters. That does not work.
In the Properties manager I can choose Bold and/or Italic.
But it becomes a universal setting that overrides my HTML tags in
my external txt file that I am importing. I dont want all my text
to be bold.
If I dont select them in the properties, however, Flash will
not embed the font that it needs.
Is there a different way to embed fonts other than under the
Character Tab?
I tried to import fonts to the library, but can not select
them.
Your help would really be appreciated.
Sincerely,
ggaarde

If else conditional statements for dynamic text fields (as 2.0)

This is about a self assesment quiz.There will be four options and each one has a scale from1-5 ie "option a" has 1mark, "option b" has 2marks,"option c" has 3 marks, "option d" has 4marks and "option e" has 5 marks and we count the answerd and we display the scor for example if there are 20 question in it if they answered "option e" 5 times the score will be
25 and option d 5 times the score will be 20,anf if "option c" for 5 times the score will be 15,and "option b" for 3 times the score will be 6 and "option a" two times the score will be 2, and we add up all the score and display in a dynamic text field called "scor" and the total score is 68.And i have another dynamic text field called "tsc" where i have to display the tags like excellent , good, better ......ect.
Till now every thing is fine but i am unable to compare them it is displaying excellent even if i get 10 marks, i am unable to configure where i am going wrong.
If the score is greater than 55 "tsc" should display Excellent, if the score is greater than 41 or less than 55 "tsc" should display Best, if the score is greater than 26 or less than 40 "tsc" should display Better,if the score is none of the above "tsc" should display Poor.
This is my code on the submit button:
on (release) {
    gotoAndStop("sQ");
    if (scor>=55) {
        tsc = "Excellent";
    } else if (scor == 41 && scor<=55) {
        tsc = "Best";
    } else if (scor == 26 && scor<=40) {
        tsc = "Better";
    } else if (scor == 10 && scor<=25) {
        tsc = "Good";
    } else {
        tsc = "Poor";
where:
"sQ" is the frame name where i am displaying the score details
"scor" is the var name for the dynamic text field for displaying total score
"tsc" is the var name for the dynamic text field for displaying the tags llike good, Excellent, better, poor.....etc
Plese help.......

Use trace commands to make sure that what you think you are processing is what is actually hapenning.
Your middle conditionals are not written as you described them... any "==" should be ">="
It is recommended you get away from using the textfield var option... it can be troublesome to work with. Just assign an instance name to the textfield and assign the values to its text property... for instance, say you name it tscField, then you would use tscField.text = "Excellent";
Also, realize that the gotoAndStop command will not happen until after all the code executes in case that matters
on (release) {
    gotoAndStop("sQ");
    trace(scor);
    if (scor>=55) {
        tsc = "Excellent";
    } else if (scor >= 41 && scor<=55) {
        tsc = "Best";
    } else if (scor >= 26 && scor<=40) {
        tsc = "Better";
    } else if (scor >= 10 && scor<=25) {
        tsc = "Good";
    } else {
        tsc = "Poor";

Embed Fonts in Dynamic Text Fields

Hey, I am relatively new around here although I've been a
member for years. I am just now starting to utilize my account. I
do have a question in regards to embedding fonts in Flash 8. I have
read up on this numerous places and haven't been able to find a
solution that works for me, whether this my user error or not is
still TBD.
I am loading text from a XML document into Flash dynamic text
fields. I need to be using a handwritting font for these text
fields. After embedding the handwritten font they are not
displaying in my dynamic fields but are displaying in my static
text fields that am I also using on the site. I am controlling my
dynamic text fields w/ an external stylesheet. I believe I must do
something "additional" for these dynamic text fields but haven't
figured out what that is, any help anyone can offer is much
appreciated! Thanks.

the question is a bit too general. There are many ways to
approach it, from copies
of text fields with that font off stage, to embedded outlines
and linkage in the library.
My guess is that somewhere on the way you did not fully
complete the outline embed options.
Either done incorrectly or you miss some action.
Mind to post detail explanation how you embed the outlines?
Best if you post an example
file for us to check.

Bold and italic fonts in dynamic text fields.

I have a dynamic text field with the text "IMAGES". The font
is Arial, it has BOLD and ITALIC checked, and has basic Latin fonts
embedded. Now, I use Actionscript to change the text:
textField.text = "IMAGES";
Suddenly the text disappears! Now, it seems to me that since
BOLD and ITALIC are checked on the text field, changing the .text
value should simply change the text itself, which should then be
rendered in bold and italic, and since I have bold+italic Latin
glyphs embedded, it should display properly. But what's clearly
happening is that when I set the text using Actionscript, it is
attempting to display the NORMAL font instead, and since it's not
embedded, it won't display. I know this because if I create another
proxy text field off the screen and embed the NORMAL Arial glyphs,
the original text field's text will display just fine - as
normal-weight text.
But why is this? Do I have to use a TextFormat object to set
the text to Bold and Italic EVERY time I want to dynamicaly change
the text? This seems silly. I simply want my text field to be bold
and italic every time the text changes, and NO normal text!
Any ideas?

I met the same problem using ActionScript3 and Flash Professional CS5. There are two problems with dynamic TextFields:
- When you set style "Bold" for a text field in CS5, the "bold" property is not available in the TextField object in ActionScript, its defaultTextFormat.bold is alway false; I don't know if we can get this property anywhere else.
- When you change the text of the dynamic TextField object, its style changes to normal no matter whether it was bold previously.
This is really a bug in TextField, Adobe should fix this to implement TextField in an expected way.

Linking a class to a dynamic text field to load XML data.

Hi,
I'm quite new to ActionScript and would be grateful for any help here.
I want to load text into a dynamic text field (called 'about_tab') using a class depending on the language selected (by clicking on a flag icon) by the user.
I managed to get this to work when the ActionScript was written directly in the timeline, but am having problems with doing the same thing via a class.
This is my class file:
package
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.events.Event;
public class ChangeLang extends SimpleButton
public function ChangeLang()
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, switchLang);
trace("ChangeLang class working");
public function switchLang(event:MouseEvent):void
var lang = event.target.name;
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("languages/"+lang+".xml");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var substance:XML;
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
trace("function xmlLoaded is running");
substance = new XML(loader.data);
about_tab.text = substance.about_lbl;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
loader.load(req);
Here's one of my XML files (the other is the same except "About" is written in German):
<substance>
<about_lbl>About</about_lbl>
</substance>
When I run it, it returns my trace statements that the class ChangeLang and the function xmlLoaded are running, but no text appears in the dynamic text field (I should/want to see the word 'About'). I get this error message:
1120: Access of undefined property about_tab
The problem, I'm guessing, is in the part in red in my code. I think I need to target the text field in the display list by creating a reference to it. If so, could someonw point out how I do this, or perhaps a tutorial that would help. I've tried adding the word stage (i.e.,stage.about_tab.text = substance.about_lbl; ) but it still doesn't connect. I guess there's something really simple I'm missing, so I apologize if this comes across as a stupid question
Thanks for any help.

Hello flashrocket!
I'm also new to AS3 and I've just started using external classes and I think I know what you should do to put your code to work.
Instead of using the text field you created inside your flash file, why don't you use the "TextField" class to create an instance of this object? It's the exact same thing as when you create and instantiate a new text field inside Flash.
First, import flash.text.*; (includes classes like TextField, TextFieldAutoSize, TextFormat, TextFormatAlign, etc)
Than you just have to create a var like
public var about_tab : TextField;
or
public var about_tab : TextField = new TextField();
then, to adjust the properties of this tab you use dotsyntax as if it where on your stage like:
about_tab.x = 50; about_tab.alpha = .5; etc...
you can even create a function to "config your textField"
          private function createAndConfigTextField() : void {
               about_tab = new TextField(); //you only need this line if you
          // only typed something like "public var about_tab:TextField;
          // if instead you used "public var about_tab:TextField = new TextField(); outside
          // this function, just skip this first line because you already have an instance of
          // text field named "about_tab"...
                        about_tab.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
               about_tab.background = true;
               about_tab.border = true;
               var aboutTextFormat : TextFormat = new TextFormat();
               format.font = "Arial";
               format.color = 0x000000;
               format.size = 11;
               format.bold = true;
               format.align = TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
               about_tab.defaultTextFormat = aboutTextFormat;
               addChild(about_tab);
This is just an example of what you can do... I hope you get it... let me know if you have any doubt...
