Punctuation in a dynamic text field?

1

Hi there,

I have this dynamic text field with an external .txt file
but it doesn’t displays the punctuation in the text

( ö ) i tried the html tag [ö] but both don’t work

(i embeded the outlines and the font)

Hi,
I have just run a couple of tests using loadVariables and LoadVars and punctuation marks come up fine, would be interesting to see how you are formatting your txt file and what code you are using in Flash

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load(“data/personeel.txt”);
loadText.html = yes;
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.html = true;
scroller.htmlText = this.personeeltext;
};

txt file:
personeeltext=Personele samenstelling<br><br>Cécile Esmeijer

it comes out as:
Personele samenstelling

Cle Esmeijer

(really trange it comes out as “Cle”)

I embeded the whole font… try to change it to a simpel font like verdana … but still no sigar

i believe in html or asp the ’ apostrophe symbol is just like // is in flash.

Hi,
Well, it still works OK for me, I have used a scroll bar and copied your code, the only bit I have changed is :this.personeeltext to this.loadText , and of course the name of my txt file. Curious as to your naming strategy as my PC will not allow me to use / when naming files, tho’ cannot see how that would affect the punctuation marks.
Can you post a test fla and your txt file and I’ll take a quick look

Cheers

it depends on the font you’re using… some fonts out there don’t support international symbols. You should try changing the font to see if that’s what’s going on.

For more info on international characters, I’ll point you here:

Hey,
You worked that one out before I had time to get back - glad you did, it is these small things that make so mad, I know
