Multilingual flash application - urgent !!!

Hi all
i'm building a multilingual flash application and need to
detect the currently chosen language on the user's machine
meaning - even if for example he has - French as his default
system language, if currently the user switched to English
i need to know about it.
in other words - i need to know the language the user is
using to enter text content, regardless to his/her default system
language...
i tried using "System.capabilities.language" to detect the
language, it always showing a single default system language
i also looked into the Strings panel solution, but rather
implement all through code.
any ideas?
thank you for your time
Yariv

Hi again
System.capabilities.language is not good for me cause even if
the user switches between ten languages - it will show only the
default one - you can try it yourself and see.
to let the user pick the language is great for the content
that the site provides
i want to know which language the user is using to
enter text at a given moment
thanks
Yariv

  • Is it possible for a multilingual Flash application that pulls in dynamic text?

    My client requires an app that displays 6 languages, including English, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Greek and Vietnamese.
    The content for all 6 of these languages must also pull data from either Flash vars or XML.
    I heard that there are problems with Arabic text being flipped over, and I'm finding it hard to nail down the right fonts to use. Has anyone had any experience / advice with this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Ok, so I've started running into problems already with Arabic, but also for what I thought were simple Latin-based languages like Vietnamese. It turns out that I cannot simply enter Vietnamese text with all its punctuation into something like an XML data source - it needs some kind of escaped version of the text, or unicode, or whatever... man this is gonna take some researching unless someone can provide some insight!

  • Issue with MozillaFirefox browser and Flash application

    Hi all,
                 I am new to Flash and ActionScript 3.0.
                 I have created a new flash application and executed it(.swf file has obtained). But, now I need to display the contents of .swf file(i.e., output of my application) in a browser window.
                 So, the issue is: When I open flash application in InternetExplorer browser window,  then the application/.swf file opens fine. But, it is not working well when  open it in MozillaFirefox browser window.
       Please, can anyone help me in this context.
    Thanks in advance. Reply me as soon as possible.......

    Hi Cyboide,
                   Actually, I am new to Flash platform. I have developed a flash file and (.fla and .swf files are created) this .swf file I need to use within our project(based on Java) which is to be run in localhost. So, I had followed these steps as I saw in Google Help:
    1.) I had opened .fla file(First.fla) and goto File -> PublishSettings -> Formats tab.
    2.) In this tab, I had selected .html and .swf checkboxes and deselected remaining all.
    3.) Click on "Publish" button and then "OK" button.
    So, a html file with same name as that of .fla/.swf file is created in the same folder beside thes .fla and .swf files.
    I think it is clear upto this point.
                     Now,
                                If I open my .swf file simply in a browser window(Mozilla), I can view the contents. But, the Buttons, checkboxes, Combo-boxes etc., controls have no access(i.e., any animation, tweening works well but  there is  no user interaction).
                               Else, When I open my project in localhost(Java project), here somewhere i call my flash file(i.e.,First.swf file). But, the contents of .swf file are not viewed in the case of Mozilla Firefox. But, it works well in InternetExplorer browser including my whole project(i.e., all localhost). Hence, no problems when opened in IE.
    Please reply me as soon as possible. It is the only issue to end up my project.
    Waiting for replies.....
    thanks a lot in advance..

  • Flash Application for Mac won't open from DVD disc

    I've created a Flash application for a Mac and I have the latest security fix/update for Flash (that was supposed to fix Flash Players and etc.). I've burned the file onto a CD and a DVD. The file plays/opens from the CD but it won't play from the DVD.
    Has anyone run into this before?

    Well I found some sort of solution. I was burning both discs from a PC. I finally burned the DVD from a Mac and now it works!

  • Windows 8, problems to show cameras in a flash application

    I have a flash application that shows at screen the cameras that the operating system detects, and works fine on windows 7 but now, in windows 8, i have troubles with several cameras. For example firewire cámeras or screen capture driver.
    I made a simple test application:
    http://mainstream.atnova.com/test/testCamaras.html
    The same code executed like an air application seems to work, and the same webpage, running in windows 7, shows all the cameras right.
    Is there any bug on flash player for windows 8?
    Thanks.

  • Re:. Flash applications freeze periodically with sound but no video on all browsers.

    I've been having problems with flash applications on browsers for the past year or two. What happens is that when a flash video starts, my browser will lag periodically. The sound will be present, but the video will freeze, and I will not be able to switch tabs, click on buttons etc. This was most noticable on YouTube at first, but it's also occuring with other sites, and it's very annoying when a site has flash ads and it causes my entire browsing experience to slow to a crawl. This isn't just a firefox problem, I've tried IE and google chrome as well, and I have also tried different Internet connections. I've tried various suggestions to fix it, such as turning off hardware acceleration, uninstalling then reinstalling flash and shockwave, reinstalling my video codecs, but they all have no effect. Can anyone help me with this problem, its driving me nuts! My browsers are all updated to the latest version, my flash player is version 11.7.700.169, and I am using Windows 7 pro (6.1, build 7601).

    Do you notice any difference if you disable hardware acceleration?
    How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
    What happens if you temporarily revert back to Flash Player 10.3?
    How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?

  • Sample Flash applications that can be embedded on DMD

    Does anyone have any sample flash applications that read their configuration data from an external file and that can be embeded in a DMD presentation?
    And MOST IMPORTANTLY with the .fla file?
    The ciscoet.com portal has plenty of samples but they are all stand alone applications no DMD embedding.
    It seems we are all struggling with getting some dynamic content on the Displays things like:
         RSS Reader that does more than just the headline
         Weather Widget
         Image rotator
         Dynamic Table grid reading data from Web Service or XML file
    I've got flash components working on the DMPs if I play them directly but the idea is to use them in the DMD.
    Thanks for any help

    We run a number of flash applications that pull external XML data.
    A limitation in flash does not allow you to play flash apps unless you set up a cross-domain policy XML in your web server root that looks something like this:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
    This is allowing all domains access to your flash with the use of the wildcard, but you might want to modify it to be more strict.
    Also, if you have a 4310 DMP, you cannot embed flash using HTML. The DMD module that you are using must call the .swf directly. Also, the 4310 supports action script 2 only, not action script 3, so if your flash app is running AS3, it will not work.
    If you have the 4400, you can do anything, including embedding flash files in HTML, and you can also use AS3.
    For other types of Dyanmic HTML content, a 4310 will have a hard time. For any dynamic content that needs to be displayed on a screen, we run background routines that writes data out to image format. The 4310 is perfectly capable of displaying a jpeg.
    Those are the general restrictions we've run into. If you have any specific questions, put them here and I'll let you know if we've run into it before and how we handled it.
    Cheers!

  • Font size is too small in flash applications and the "zoom" feature does not make any difference. Thanks

    Zoom dosen't work in flash applications and it is crazy small and too hard to read...this does beat out the fact you can't right click using flash in google chrome...I prefer firefox, but will go back to IE if it is the only program without such major bugs
    I have also reset the minimum text size in flash and that did not help the problem at all.

  • Can I use QuickTime in Flash application?

    Hi.
    I'm planning to develop a media player in Flash, and I would
    like to know if it is possible to do the things I wanna do. Can I
    use the QuickTime player in my Flash application to play video and
    music files? If I can, can I use the original controls from
    QuickTime to play, pause, stop, fast forward and rewind the
    video/music? (Why I ask is because I want to be able to hear the
    sound go fast forward and rewind when I press these controls, and
    the only player I know that does that is QT.) I also wanna be able
    to show the video and music files the user has on the computer with
    icons (or pictures). Is it possible to search video and music files
    in a computer (in specific folders)? Or do I have to know from the
    start, when I develop the application, which files exist?
    I'm really grateful for answers on my questions!

    No you can't. You can't have player within a player.

    You can open a folder and look for file but you can't search
    user drive and get list
    of it. Only File - Open - Browse, that type of dialog.

  • Link to Flash application from PDF not working on a Mac

    I'm creating a PDF using Acrobat.  I have 2 links that should open up a separate Flash application.  When I try clicking on them in Adobe Reader on a Mac, I get an error message saying "could not find an application to open the file 'xxxxx'.  I can navigate to the file directly in a finder window, and the Flash application opens up just fine.  I also created a PC version of this same PDF that points to Flash executables, and those links work fine as well.  Any ideas any one?  Thanks in advance!

    Under the "Library Log" where is says Flash Player Intall Manager: Unable to execute privilage task.
    What does that mean?

  • PDF opening in a macromedia flash application

    Hello,
    Im not a mac user, but we use mac in our company.
    Im a webdesigner, working on windows XP, using macromedia flash (in this case Flash MX).
    My problem is, we build applications on dvd and cd's and we are trying to make them usable on macOS, besides Linux and windows.
    Things were working fine, till MacOS 10...
    The problem is, that in some applications we use pdf files that are on the cd's or dvd's, that are not opening anymore in those OS version's 10..., we use a command in flash (actionScript) that is: getURL (....path.pdf).
    It worked really good in the ealier OS's from Mac, now when we click on the link, it open Safari, with the default page it uses.
    Anyone has any idea about why it happens?
    Im sorry my english, not my native language, and thank you very much in advance for your time.
    Hugo

    Hello again,
    I've tried install FireFox on the Mac, and PDF Browser viewer plugin, and selected FireFox to open by default the pdf's files, it happen's the same, it opens FireFox with his default page, no pdf from the cd...
    Im affraid that the cd's and DVD's with Flash applications with Pdf's files will not be able to open on Mac's with OS 10....
    The application works really good on Linux and Windows platforms.
    Thanks

  • Flash Application Deployment

    I have just completed my first flash application, and am
    trying to deploy it to IIS.
    When I access the virtual directory from the local machine,
    it runs fine. However if I try to access it from any remote
    machine, nothing appears and the request times out.
    Are there any security restrictions imposed in the default
    wrapper generated by the Flex Builder?
    I tried googling for a simple walk through article on how to
    deploy an application but no luck. Any pointers would be
    appreciated.

    Faisy,
    No default security restrictions by the html wrapper
    (couldn't be) but there are a lot of security issues inside the
    flash player by default. When browsing to the location, do you get
    any result? If you see e.g. the grey default flex background, the
    problem probably lies in the security settings of the player (and
    we can take it from there). If you get nothing, it probably is a
    IIS setting which goes beyond the scope of this forum.
    Grt, Ben

  • Slow moving of a Flash application from background to foreground [cross-post]

    I have created a "big" Flash application, ~150 MB RAM. When I
    move this application from foreground to background and (after some
    time) viceversa, I notice a considerable slowdown, i.e. for about
    thirty seconds the application becomes unusable.
    This behavior occurs using:
    - Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla Firefox 3 on
    Microsoft Windows XP
    - Mozilla Firefox 3 on Linux, and
    - Air on Linux and on Windows.
    Do you have any suggestions?

    An additional note:
    I initially assumed that was caused the swap mechanism of my
    browser. Later I
    discovered that, by default, Mozilla Firefox prevent Windows
    from swapping out memory when the program is minimized (see option
    config.trim_on_minimize).
    So I disable the paging system of Windows, but nothing has
    changed.
    So I came to the conclusion that can not be due to the
    swapping of the operating system or of the browser.
    Do you know if the flash player has an internal swap
    mechanism?

  • No sound in Flash applications like Youtube and Zynga-Frontierville. (Win7, ff 5.1, AdobeFlash 10.3.181.34)

    I get no sound in Flash applications like Youtube and Zynga-Frontierville. Video is fine.

    I'm not sure how related is this with the thing that happened to me but here it goes.
    A while ago I couldn't have two applications that can use the audio channels at the same time. For instance, if I had a paused movie with VLC I could play a video on YouTube but with no sound. Is that your case? Or it doesn't work at all?
