If you're using Unicode for your XML, the language used for text does
not make any difference if it's French or Chinese. But your TextField
needs characters embedded to display the text - if you're not using a
device font.
I just created a bare-bones movie with a TextField on Stage, with SimSun
all Chinese characters embedded. Then used makeXMLSA() to parse an XML
with Chinese text. It displays just fine. (But the SWF is 6.5MB)
By the way there's no need to wrap the text with CDATA unless you want
to escape illegal characters.

I cannot get a dynamic text field to display Chinese characters from
XML. Results vary from question marks in the field, to "undefined,"
to blank. What should happen is that Flash derives elements from the
XML and displays them in the textfield. I'm using XMLSA to parse the xml.
Another language (French) works fine. Anyone have a Chinese example
that works? Here's what I've got so far:
* TrueType font is SimSun.
* XML is being saved as UTF-8 in TextPad and declares UTF-8 as
the encoding language. Also tried this all using NotePad. Got both
text editors to show the Chinese characters as the actual characters
and also as boxes. Tried saving as UTF-8 and also as Big-Endian. I'm
using CDATA around all text.
* XML is being pasted from MS Word. Also tried pasting from Excel.
* Flash textfield: Set for HTML. I've tried various combinations
of embedding Chinese characters, including embedding ALL Chinese
characters (lots of bytes!). I've also tried populating the text
field with ALL the Chinese text, and using "Auto-fill" to embed those
characters. I'm not using any bolding or italics.
I'm losing hair over this and would really appreciate either a
working example (including the xml and flash files) or some more
troubleshooting methods.
Thanks,
Marc
