Special Characters (Superscript) Problem

[Magnix]

I have all the dynamic texts with its variable, drawing data from MS Access,
but when I have TM or R (Registered mark) in MS Access and it will not display
in Dynamic Text in Flash? I have rendered text as HTML and tried some settings
in Character Option with various numbers of glyphs - none of them worked. That
drove me nuts!

Is there a solution you can help me resolve this special character issue? Any
actionscriptings that can do the magic?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Christian,

not sure whether this will be of any great help, but once I was trying to get
special characters (&, $, #, etc.) from a PHP script to Flash. The trick there
was to send the string URL encoded - there is a function in PHP to do that:
urlencode('yourString').

I tried using the function with the special characters you are talking about,
and it did work with the copyright and registered signs, but for some strange
reason not with the trademark one.


Going to check the AS side,

Simon.

Ok, but the problem is our server is NT based. We have to use ASP.

Have you check what ASP can do to resolve this issue?

Thanks, man!

with any special characters not displaying properly, whether drawn from XML or
otherwise, try swicthing it for the Unicode equivelant. so in the case of ?
you'd use /u00AE, all the unicodes are freely available in your character map
which comes with windows in the system tools menu. Just remember to use the
escape value before it of /. so the character map displays the code in the
bottom right when presing a symbol, something like U+00AE, to convert that to
flash unicode would be /u00ae. Hope that helped, dr_ross
