Memory Game interation - letters with accents

Hello, I have set up the Memory Game interaction in Cap. 7. I want the user to match English and French terms. However, any letters with accents (année = year) simply do not show up in the active game. I can indeed enter them when making up the game, but when I go to run the game, all such letters are simply ignored (omitted). Instead of année, one sees anne! What can be done? Thank you. Marvin DuBois

Thanks again, Lilybiri. Here's to hoping . . .
By the way, perhaps I should mention that I've found what appears to be a work-around. In Memory Game, one can insert text or pictures. I've typed out all the words in Word, and then taken snips (screenshots) of the French terms with accents. Thus far it seems to work perfectly. The terms in Word are on a white background, and I've managed to get the font size about right, and thus no appreciable difference shows up between the text and graphic versions.
Perhaps I will run into problems at some point, i.e. perhaps the text and graphic versions will scale differently. But I don't know that this will be a problem. (I'm just preparing for the worst . . . )
Thanks again. Marvin

Special symbols and letters with accents on English keyboard?

Hi All,
Anyone know how I can type letters with accents etc in other languages using an english keyboard?
Thanks,

Anyone know how I can type letters with accents etc in other languages using an english keyboard?
You use Option/alt key shortcuts like Option/alt + e, then e to get é. Here is list:

Also use Keyboard Viewer to see which key does what.

Pages 5.2: two letters with accent (e.g. "éé") issue

I use the Dutch version of Pages 5.2 with OS X 10.9.2.
Whenever I type two vowels that both have accents (e.g. "één", "héél" or "dóór") my typing cursor disappears as soon as I enter the second accent. Normally (as in: in Pages '09), this would be the order of typing:
' e ' e
The accent is highlighted in yellow and when I press 'e' it creates the 'é' character. Pretty straightforward. However, in Pages 5.2 the second accent isn't highlighted in yellow and makes my cursor disappear, giving me this:
é'
Pretty annoying. Anyone else experience this?

The behavior that you are experiencing does not occur with a North American version of Pages v5.2.
Try just holding down the letter e and waiting for the accent pop-up panel. Then you can either choose the accented character choice with mouse, trackpad, or keyboard (in this case 2).

Letters with accents?

How do I insert an accented letter? I want to properly spell resumé on a website, but copying-and-pasting from the e-acute entry at Wikipedia is the only way I can figure out how.
Thanks!

Actually, I figured it out. For those of you with the same question about iWeb, here's how I found it:
1. Click the "Format" drop-down menu.
2. Click "Fonts."
3. Click "Show Fonts."
(The keyboard shortcut for all of the above is Command-T)
4. On the "Fonts" window that pops up, Click the gear icon in the lower left-hand corner.
5. Scroll down, click "Characters."
6. Make sure "by Category" is highlighted.
7. In the left column, scroll down to "Accented Latin."
8. In the right column, click the character you want.
9. On your webpage, your cursor must be positioned in the spot you want the character to appear.
10. Click "Insert." The character will appear on your webpage.
The "Characters" panel works for a very large number of different symbols.

Using matches with accents letters

Hello,
I am using this sentence in order to permit letters with accents eg. "�, �, �, �, �, �, �, �, �, �"
String text = (String)field;

but it seems that dont work.
What can i do to modify the sentence matches ???
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Any help is greatly appreciated.By definition, \w is equivalent to the character class: [a-zA-Z_0-9]
Therefore, you'll have to define your own character class or use defined classes for Unicode blocks.
For example:text.matches("[\\p{InBasicLatin}\\p{InLatin-1Supplement}]+")

IOS 8 lockscreen keyboard does not let me input characters with accent marks. My password has an accent mark. I can't restore the device without unlocking it and turning off find my iPod. What can I even do here?

I do have a third party keyboard installed (fleksy), and I removed english and emoji from the keyboards list in settings before rebooting the ipod. When it booted up, it asked for my device password with the default keyboard, but I can't type any letters with accent marks, so I can't enter the password. I figured I could fix this by restoring a backup and changing my password, but I can't restore a backup without turning off Find My iPod - which of course requires me to unlock the device with the device password, which I can't do. Am I stuck here? Is there anything at all that I can do?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

[CS3 JS] How to search for accented letters with GREP

Hello,
In the following script I have two words, each that has an accented letter. It appears that neither in the script nor in the Find and Replace dialog that GREP will recognize words with accents. It will replace accented characters however. I can do a search for words with no accents but that will lead to trouble when I only want to change the word if it has an accent.
Any advice would be great!
Tom
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var rawWordsAccented = ["André","Barrës"]; //find these words
var rawWordsAccentedDHyphens = ["~-Andr\\x{00E9}","~-Barr\\x{00EB}s"]; //replacement words
for(var k =0; rawWordsAccented.length > k; k++){
    var numWords = theGrepChanger(myDoc,rawWordsAccented[k],rawWordsAccentedDHyphens[k]);
    }//end for k
function theGrepChanger(docRef,grepFindIt,grepChangeIt){
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = grepFindIt;
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = grepChangeIt;
    var arrGrepFindIt = myDoc.changeGrep();
    return arrGrepFindIt;
}//end theGrepFinder

John, perhaps it works in CS5 but not in CS3.
Peter, the problem is not in the replacement word or looping through that array backwards or forwards. The problem is finding a word with an accented character using the GREP mode.
In using the Find/Replace dialog I cannot find André. Nor Andr\x{00E9}, using Unicode. So if the dialog won't work it appears a script won't work. If I use "Andre" in the Search field it will find "Andre" and "André."
However I did find that if I change the GREP function in the script to the text mode I can find only words with accented characters and then replace them to my heart's content.
Tom
function theTextChanger(docRef,textFindIt,textChangeIt){
    app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = textFindIt;
    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = textChangeIt;
    var arrTextFindIt = myDoc.changeText();
    return arrTextFindIt;
}//end theTextChanger

I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

After you go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources as suggested by sberman, click on the + button and scroll down to Portuguese and select that. Over at the right you will see the choices Brazilian, Brazilian abnt, Portuguese. You might want to add all three to see which you like best.
The "Brazilian" layout is pretty useless. It is identical to the US layout and the only way to make accents is via the option key shortcuts: option + n, then o gives you õ.
The Brazilian abnt and Portuguese layouts have dead keys for adding accents over at the right edge of the keyboard. But these may not match what is printed on your keys.
You may prefer to stay with the US layout. On that you can get accented letters by just holding down the base letter and selecting what you want from the popup menu that appears. Or you can use the option key shortcuts.
Another option is the layout called US International PC, which has accent deadkeys on ~, ', etc.
Which ever layout you want to use, you must select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
To see which key does what for any layout, use the Keyboard Viewer:

Why does Bridge have trouble with accents in filenames?

We work in an in-house studio with Creative Suite 4. Being in Montreal, Canada, many of our documents have accented characters in the file and folder names. When Bridge attempt to display these accented filenames, occasionally the capital letters get converted to lowercase letters and a trip to the Finder window (we are on OS X 10.5 and 10.6) shows folders doubling, tripling and then going back to normal with no human intervention, as if 'springing' on its own. The files are on a mounted server. The folders and files are created through Adobe Bridge CS4 or through the dialog box in InDesign CS4, Illustrator CS4 and/or Photoshop CS4.
I've posted a video on my Dropbox account so you can see the problem.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4289569/Business/jumping%20window.mov
We've contacted Apple and they say it's not their problem. Is there a known bug regarding this that Adobe is aware of?

When Bridge attempt to display these accented filenames, occasionally the

Creating folders in Finder and Bridge with accents in the file and folder
name (although I've always learned this is a bad thing to do but I
understand the need for your use) is no problem on a stand alone
configuration.
I believe it has more to do with the use of working with a server. For best
answers you could open a case with Adobe Tech Support using the contact
button and explicit name the use of a server in the description.
Hopefully you get a better answer from them then from 'not our problem'

Arabic text with accents shown broken

Hello,
In FireFox 4, Arabic text with accents (ًٌٍَُِّْ) is shown broken. It was displayed correctly in previous versions and also in IE.
Consider please the following examples, and compare between the words with and without accents. You can see the gaps between the letters:
دعم فَيَرفُكس
مُتَصَفِّحُ فَيَرفُكس هُو مُتَصفح الانترنت الأفضل فى العالم
The problem is not site specific. It is common to all sites with Arabic texts. I'll just provide an example URL. Compare the display of FF4 with previous versions or with IE.
Thank you.. You are the best !! :)

BTW, disabling/enabling the option "allow web pages to use their own fonts" had no effect. The broken text problem is the same in either case.

Simple Memory Game

Hi
I want to make a really simple Flash memory game. There is no
need for score, level, time limit or stuff like that. Just a simple
memory game with 16 cards what you turn and look for a match. Any
one who know a good tutorial with fla source code?
I have looked at this tutorial but i can't get this thing to
work
http://www.bleacheatingfreaks.com/science/memory/
Any help to get me started is appreciated

I've got a Flash memory version here: www.blurredgames.com
If you like I'll send you the FLA file, but I have no
tutorial for it... I
have a Director based tutorial in my last Director book, but
that's Lingo.
If you'd like the .fla file let me know and I'll send it
over. At the very
least you could simply modify the assets and use it...
there's even a timer
and a high-score table...

Memory game random function

Hello,
I made a memory game with a tutorial. My knowledge of AS3 is not that good so I have to following question.
There is a function like Math.Random to random generate number and put them on stage. I made a memory game and the cards are on the same place every time I play the "movie".
I want them to shuffle every time I restart the game. How can I write a good random function in AS3?
Thank you.

Memory Game Widget

I'm creating a memory game to help our leanrers prepare for their written driver's test. Ideally I would like to see them match the road signs with the correct words (I've made PNG files to house the text for each card), but from what I can see we only have the option to match exact pictures. Is there a way to set it up so that you can have a group of pictures to match againts their counterparts, which would be a different picture?
I could use the drag/drop tool to achieve something similar in concept of matching, but I like the idea of having a memory game for the added fun.

Hi Lilybiri - thanks for the welcome!
Actually, I was trying to use the new widget in the Captivate 7. It is something like this one, but I want to match 2 different pictures technically. For example: Picture 1: street sign of railway crossing ahead ---- MATCH TO ---- Picture 2: (image of) text says "Railway Crossing Ahead". That way they have to match a picture to the correct text. Does that make more sense? I'm hoping that I can still use the widget, but with more customizable options.

Memory Game Success/Failure Caption Duration

Is there any way to extend the amount of time the success and failure captions stay on the screen for the memory game in Captivate 7?

Memory game can fail because of time out as well. Since the variable assigned to memory game does not show up in the variables list, I don't think you can delay it for failure condition.
For success condition, delete the default captions, add your own caption, name it as say, Success, assign the following advanced action for On Success.
Show Success.
Assign cpCmndGotoFrame with CpInfoCurrentFrame
