You need URL Encoding not HTML tags in order to show special
characters from
your text file:
%26 for & and %3F for ?

How to add special characters in Flash CS3

Hi, i need the help of some flash guru… these last weeks we were working with cloversites.com to build a community website… the interface is awesome etc etc however we in Malta have eight special characters (GCZ with a dot on top of them and an H with a second strikethrough). Those at cloversites wrestled with the problem, they could see the characters on their computers but when they entered the text in the site, flash couldn't render the special characters. Here is their message:
I am extremely sorry about this, but we were unable to add in your characters. We attempted to add them into our software but they did not work. We worked on it all morning and realized that we need an extra add-on for our keyboards. Adding special characters is nothing new to us and have answered this request for many of our international users. For some reason, the Maltese characters did not work in our sites. For example, our "option-G" is the copyright symbol so it will need to be transferred over to international characters.
Unfortunately, we thing that this has to do with Adobe Flash CS3. The software allowed me to embed the characters, but we were unable to render them on the web. Which led us to think it had to do with the version Adobe is running and its inability to render the text through its software on the web. None of the characters worked on the web, and it looks like its just an Adobe bug. So we are able to type and use the Maltese characters, but Adobe Flash is having trouble with them.
Does anybody know of any possible solution?

Special characters in SBWP dynamic columns are not showing for some users

Hi experts,
We have set up a dynamic columns for business workplace. One of the field displays the comments entered by the user. Some users are able to see the values entered perfectly. But for some users, if we enter special characters like @gopal, it is not displaying the value in dynamic column.
Are there any workflow/user settings need to be changed.
Thanks

I had the same issue, you should check the link between AD and CRM, so you could make a new user in AD and connect your CRM account with it, then you should return the old AD account back. It worked for me, try it :)

Special Characters in imported HTML

I've got a Flash piece where the user fills out a
questionnaire, and based on their responses, they are shown a
handful of recommendations. These recommendations are all separate
HTML files that load into a scrolling text field as HTML text.
There is an English version and a Spanish version. The
English version works fine.
In the Spanish version, on the other hand, we've got special
characters such as accents over e's, tildes over n's, and so forth.
In the HTML, I've used codes for special characters, such as
ñ for ñ. That didn't work. In the resulting
recommendations, this code appears, not the ñ.
Then I tried just putting the special characters into the
HTML, without the special code. That looks fine on my computer (Mac
G5 running Firefox), but on Windows IE instead of the special
characters, we get one of those diamond shapes with a "?" in the
middle of it.
In my recommendations field, I have it set to embed all
characters. The font is Verdana, which should include the special
characters. Does anyone know if the display of special characters
in Flash is possible, and how I would do it?

add <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> tag to 1st
line of your xml, AND
save your xml file encoding as utf-8, if you are using
notepad, try this:
- save as, change the encoding (the bottom field) to UTF-8
no worry about your file extension.
UTF-8 (8-bit Unicode Transformation Format) supports multiple
languages.
good luck

I have a Flash Sample to rotate images and text but I not find a way to display special characters

Hello everyone.
I bought a very nice Flash application that rotate images, and text of any color and size. It use an XML input file.
I've posted here, a complete copy, so any of you can download, view and use it freely.
I would appreciate if any of you know how to do, so that the text displayed, including the characters I use in my language (Spanish), such as á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, and other special characters.
In fact, I could not find a way to do it, because I'm not expert Flash, and less in ActionScript.
If any of you would help me on that, I thank you implement the appropriate adjustments and compressed into a. zip file, and let me know where to download it, or if you prefer you can send it to my email: [email protected]
After all compressed in .zip format is a very small file: 430K.
Click here to download the complete sample.
Thanks.

Hello Rinus,
If I understood your last post correctly, then problem 2 is resolved, right?
Regarding problem 3:
I'm not asking you to share exact VIs.
I just want to see a very simple VI that explains the concept of what you're trying to do, what should happen (this can be in words that refer to the front panel elements) and what you've tried.
The terminology you're using isn't clear to me without an extra explanation.
This could even be only a Front Panel with a few buttons on where you just describe what should happen with specific controls/indicators.
Based on the first post it is not clear to me what you mean with:
- A "button element":
Are you talking about a control, an indicator, a cluster that contains multiple control?
- The structure:
Is this an event structure, case structure, for loop, ...?
Is it seems like you want to programmatically control Front Panel objects, which on itself is no problem at all independent of how many objects you want to control.
Please share with me simple example of what goes wrong and explain which things should happen on that specific Front Panel.
This will allow me to help you and also allow me to guide you along the right path.

How to preserve special characters in dynamic textfield for text comparison?

The problem is as follows:
Since I mostly develop for multiple languages I am forced to have dynamic textfields in my buttons which contain three lines (to account for the differnt text.lengths in different languages).
I then populate the textfields with strings out of an array or xml and use the textfields contents later in my button class to execute different code depending on the textfields content.
This works fine as long as I don`t use any special characters, like for example "\n".
var labels:Array = ["\nLABEL1","LABEL\n\n2"];
switch (e.currentTarget.txt.text)
                case labels[0]:
                    doSomething();
                    break;
                case labels[1]:
                    doSomethingElse();
                    break;
shows the right thing in the button label (breaks the text were I want it)
but stops to work
(with htmlText & <br> its the same)
my workaround for the moment is to use filler spaces,
var labels:Array = ["                   LABEL1","LABEL                                                                        2"];
but that`s obviously ugly to setUp and requires a lot of trial/error to get it right for all languages.
Any ideas how to bypass that?

Bad habits die hard ;-)
Weird enough spelling the problem out and getting this response from you cleared my head and I finally got an easy solution.
I simply attach a dynamic property to the movieclip, copy the array contents into them and instead of using the text-property for comparison I compare the MovieClips fresh created spectext property.
Voila: Now I can be lazy without too much of a bad conscience.

I, too, have found Bridge very unstable. I find this to be extremely disappointing, seeing as it's literally the most expensive piece of software I've ever purchased for personal use. I've seen these two symptoms:
1. When running in full screen mode, Bridge crashes periodically. This happened on Vista, so I blamed Vista (of course), but even after regressing to XP SP2, I see the same symptoms.
2. Although I didn't see this on Vista, running on XP I see the problem described earlier in this thread, where clicking on a thumbnail displays the wrong image preview. When this happens the image displayed is one from a different folder! I solve the problem by clearing the cache, and it's OK for a while, but the problem keeps returning.
3. Even when exiting cleanly from Bridge (using File->Exit), Bridge often forgets where I was working in my previous session. I need to re-navigate from the very top level directory down through the hierarchy to my photo directory.
Again, it's very disappointing to invest so much in a single software package only to see such basic operations malfunction.

Dynamic insert for Special Characters

Hello,
I'm running into a problem inserting data with Special Characters. I have a report (designed oracle reports), that takes data and inserts the data into table. I use the SRW.do_sql built in package in a before report trigger to process the data. However the problem that I'm running into is how to dynamically account for the special characters in a description field that I have. There is no way for me to predict where or how many can appear in a field. For example, I may have a field that contains data like:
O'REILLY AND ASSOCIATES INC.
OR
FULLER & D'ALBERT, INC.
OR
JOANNE'S BED & BACK SHOP
The only special characters that seem to be used and are causing me problems are the " ' " and " & ".
Does anyone know how I can dynamically account for these special characters in my insert statement?
Thanks,
Martin

Hello,
I'm using SRW.DO_SQL procedure in oracle reports because that is one you can run text via reports. The report actually exports the results to a text file and insert the results into a table. Anyway, the SRW.DO_SQL isn't my problem but rather the special characters. I have researched the problem some more and I have found a solution. You can use the "replace" feature to do an insert/update of special characters. You also need to find the character number for each special character. I believe "&" is chr(38), "%" is chr(37), "#" is chr(35), "@" is chr(64), "'" is char(39). So the code would be:
insert into tableA (column1) values(
replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(v_entity_name,chr(39),chr(39)),chr(38),chr(38)),chr(35),chr(35)),chr(37),chr(37)),chr(64),chr(64));

Dynamic SQL Query to Find Special Characters in Table columns

Hi,
I am new to OTN FORUMS.
I am trying to find the columnsi of a table which have special characters in them.
I am planning on using this query
select ' select INSTR('||column_name||', chr(0))
from '||table_name||'where INSTR('||column_name||', chr(0)) >0' from user_tab_columns
where table_name='Account'
and spool the output to run as a script.
Is this the right way or do u suggest any modifications to the query?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I think your basic approach is right. Since you can't hard-code the table- or column names into the query, you'll need dynamic SQL.
Instead SQL-from-SQL (that is, writing a pure SQL query, whose output is SQL code), you could do the whole job in PL/SQL, but I don't see any huge advantage either way.
When you say "Special character<b>s</b>", do you really mean "one given special character" (in this case, CHR(0))?
Will you ever want to search for multiple special characters at once?
What if table foo has a column bar, and in 1000 rows of foo, bar contains CHR (0). Do you want 1000 rows of output, each showing the exact position of the first CHR(0)? If the purpose is to look at theese rows later, shouldn't you include the primary key in the output? What if CHR(0) occurs 2 or more times in the same string?
If you'd rather have one row of output, that simply says that the column foo.bar sometimes contains a CHR(0), then you could do something like this:
SELECT     'foo',     'bar'
FROM     dual
WHERE     EXISTS (
            SELECT NULL
            FROM       foo
            WHERE       INSTR ( bar
                        , CHR (0)
                    ) > 0
            );

Dynamic text, system fonts, and special characters...

This one is boggling my mind so if someone can help, please
do
I've got a dynamic text area pulling text from a MySQL
database via AMFPHP. The text includes special characters such as
accents, umlauts, etc (multi-language site platform). Most of them
work fine, and ALL of them work fine when I'm on a Mac client.
However, if I use a Windows client machine in either Firefox or
IE6, there are a couple characters that for whatever reason just
don't seem to show up -- instead I get the [] box character.
The only characters I've found that seem to be affected like
this are European quote characters like   and
 (hex characters 146, 147, 148). I'm using the familiar
ampersand-pound-number-semicolon escape sequence for them. And like
I said, they all display fine on Mac/Firefox and Mac/Safari. Why
are all my other special characters (umlauts, accents, etc) working
fine and just these things failing? It's also worth noting that
they look fine if I dump them out to a PHP file and pull it up in a
browser...
Please, if anyone can help... I've been bashing my head
against this for the better part of the day!!

Hi,
did you take a look at the "gateway.php' ? There you can
define charsets. Maybe a western europe charset will
help you out. Since french language is using a lot more
accents and so.
This is what you can find in the gateway.php of amfphp. Just
have to set the right one ;)

I went to import special characters in imovie '11 and now the character window comes up on every application, yet won't open in iMovie at all, it flashes across every screen on each key/mouse click

I went to import special characters in imovie '11 and now the character window comes up on every application, yet won't open in iMovie at all, it flashes across every screen on each key/mouse click, stops the other software from running, and won't shut off, ever.

Try trashing the .plist in Home/Library/Preferences which has CharacterPalette in its name.

Trouble shooting flashing "special characters" screen on my MacBook. Restarting, Shutting down, removing and placing battery again does not stop it. The flashing screen is blank with a turning gear as if loading, but it does not.

I need help with troubleshooting for flashing "special characters" screen on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. The screen flashes regardless of what app is on; it is as if it is trying to load but it does not. Is there a duplicate or conflicting file in the system that should be deleted? Where would it be?
Thanks in advance for your attention.

Ummm, nope. All due respects, this problem cropped up suddenly, at about the same time, for multiple users, on different laptop types. Probability of all this happening at once due to simultaneous hardware failures is much lower than if it was caused by say a software update not playing well with something (a piece of 3rd party software, etc). I'm having the same exact problem, I have put a new battery in, same thing happens.
This is similar to 3 or so years ago when widgets were first introduced, laptop battey lifes dropped to about 1/3 and the machines heated up. General consensus was it must be hardware, well no it was software, and a software fix took care of it. I'm hoping someone figures this out soon...
Thanks

Special characters in XML document

I have a Flash file saved as version 8 with the following script calling an xml file:
//init TextArea component
myText.html = true;
myText.wordWrap = false;
myText.multiline = false;
myText.label.condenseWhite=true;
//load in XML
xml = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.onLoad = function(success){
    if(success){
        myText.text = xml;
xml.load("titletext.xml");
My xml file contains the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<![CDATA[Smith's dog & cat are "crazy"]]>
When posted online my flash file displays the encoding tag in the xml file.
AND the apostrophe, ampersand and quote marks display as html code instead of the actual character.
I can take the encoding tag out of the xml file but my characters still don't display correctly.
My dynamic text field in flash (myText) does have special characters embedded, plus I have them entered manually in the field for 'include these characters'.
Does anyone have suggestions for me?
You can view this test file at http://wilddezign.com/preshomes_name2.html
TIA

Perhaps you need a slightly different approach to loading the XML. Instead of loading the entire XML file, what if you loaded only the child you were looking for? This is what I usually do:
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.load("some.xml");
xml.onLoad = parse;
function parse(success){
if (success){
root = xml.firstChild;
_global.numberItems = root.attributes.items;
itemNode = root.firstChild;
var i:Number = 0;
while(itemNode != null){
     myText.text = itemNode.attributes.description;
     itemNode = itemNode.nextSibling;
     i++;
else {
trace("XML Bad!!");
And your XML would be structured like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sample>
<item description="This is the text that I want to appear on this MC!" />
</sample>

Unicode display with system fonts?? (special characters)

Hi All. We're working on site that supports a couple
different languages: English, Japanese, and now German. We're using
dynamic text boxes and Remoting to display internationalized text
where necessary. Remoting makes a call to the backend, which
returns a text blurb depending on the country ID that's in use and
then the result is tossed up into the dynamic text box on screen.
Simple as pie. Works great for English, and great for Japanese. But
now we've added German, which I thought would be painless as it's
another western language.
Apparently, Flash is having problems displaying special
characters like the umlaut. In place of the special character, we
see a black diamond with a question mark. Now normally I'd think
that the font we're using doesn't have the embedded symbol for the
umlaut character but the thing is, we're not using embedded fonts
-- we're using system fonts (verdana) and everything works perfect
for the Japanese version. What in the world is going on?
If I dump the results of the remoting call to an html page,
everything displays as it should so I know the data in the database
isn't improperly encoded or anything. And Japanese works! WTF? Any
ideas PLEASE let me know, been banging my head against this for
waaay too long now...
Danke
.

Alright so if I change the data directly, and make the
a-umlaut into Ġ everything renders in Flash perfectly.
Rockin. So I patch my input cms code to run htmlentities() on the
text area. Instead of translating a-umlaut to Ġ though it
translates it to ä which Flash's html renderer doesn't
display correctly... Uh..
