Re: [Flashcoders] Localization issue with XML
Steven, I had a similar problem when loading external xml files. The java servlet I was using to create and save the files on the server was saving them with UTF-8 encoding but when I imported them into Flash, some of the special characters did not show properly. I removed the encoding attribute from the XML header leaving it like this ?xml version=1.0 ? and lo and behold! the characters came out correctly.

Re: [Flashcoders] Localization issue with XML
Hi, i just finished an app with the same characters in it. It contains no header and is a unicode file. The file was generated from a database to ascii (which is stupid but whatever) so I used a commandline vbscript for the conversion from my buildfile. If you like I can send you the xml file and script, for testing etc. greetz JC On 3/22/07, Birgit Ferran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Steven, I had a similar problem when loading external xml files.

Re: [Flashcoders] Localization issue with XML
Hello Steven I´ve done it like this:
Dynamic textfield named info_txt set to embed (in this case) ü and ö.
Load and parse XML:
/
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
information = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; itotal; i++) {
information[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(xml.xml);
p = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
info_txt.htmlText = information[p];
}
/
Loading the xml.xml file that looks like this:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
web
items
item![CDATA[wofür benötigen]]/item
/items
/web
The XML file is saved as UTF-8 encoding from notepad.
Works fine, here´s a link:

Any ideas?
Have you tried decoding the entities? I use this trick to decode entities in
XML when I have problems reading in special characters:
private function decodeEntities(entityString:String):String
{
var x:XML = new XML(n+entityString+/n);
x.parseXML();
return x.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
Send the function a string of the text value from the XML and see if that works.

Re: [Flashcoders] Localization issue with XML
Hello :) if you can change you DOM to create a localization pattern in your application.. you can use my Eden localization model based on my OpenSource framework (VEGAS : http://vegas.riaforge.org/) and the EDEN format ( http://code.google.com/p/edenrr/) You can install my framework and use the Eden implementation based on VEGAS : 0 - Download VEGAS or use a SVN client (like tortoiseSVN) 1 - install the vegas source project in the AS2 preference of Flash or if you use MTASC add the AS2/trunk/src package. 2 - try the example based on Eden in the directory : AS2/trunk/bin/test/asgard/system http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/asgard/system/ The example Localization 02 - Eden.flahttp://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/asgard/system/Localization%2002%20-%20Eden.fla use the EDEN external file : http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/asgard/system/deploy/locale/localize_fr.eden The Eden format is a format based on ECMAScript and ActionScript notation ! You must create a empty UTF8 text file and creates inside an easy object :) For me this method is better like XML and this CDATA ;) EKA+ :) 2007/3/20, Steven Sacks | BLITZ [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hey Flashcoders, I'm having an issue with special characters not showing up from other languages, such as German (ü, ö, etc.).
