Dinamic loaded text is not bound by text box

programming flash

Hello everybody.

I had my firt dinamicaly loade text box whith external txt.
I followed the "Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text by kirupa chinnathambi

Two problems have appeared:
The text is not fitted to the textbox sise
All words whith accents “é” “à” or special caracters “Ç” apear as squares.

Anyoune on this, I could use some help on this, a client needs to have the texts renewed from time to time, and i shoul make it able for him.

Thanks a million times for any light on this matter.

PS: this happens also to swish user as I know.

Only thing that I can think of is to make sure you have multiline checked from the properties panel of your textbox.

As far as the missing characters, I’ve had the same problem before and am interested if someone has a fix for this.

Have you embedded all the needed characters?
Are they available for the selected font?

Some possibilities:

  • The font used on your textbox doesn’t support those characters that appear as squares;
  • The txt file encoding sytem is not set to unicode or UTF-8. (most likely)
