for (i=288; i=318; i++) {
var val = String.fromCharCode(i);
trace(val);

Subject: [Flashcoders] Special characters?
How does one access characters in a font that are beyond the
standard ascii 127 characters? I'm about to start working
with a custom font that has icons in the outer reaches of the
key map. The icons are in locations 288 - 318.
Any ideas how to get these characters?
Thanks in advance,
Steven

RE: [Flashcoders] special characters
Enrico, I tried what you've described - indeed! you wrote: How can I write the '' char, inside an html dynamic textfield? In fact, writing char isn't a problem, but loading it from text file is: it's either recognized as tag or (if you use lt; etc) another variable. But if you try create a local var with html inside it, everything is ok. Solution: 1) I'd suggest to use XML file with CDATA instead of plain text. Do you mind? 2) If the first doesn't fit you, maybe try to use another char/combination in your txt file, then after loading replace them with or using string manipulations. And then assign this string to a textfield. -- Best regards, Gregory_GOusable http://GOusable.com Flash components development. Usability services. I need to write, inside a .txt file that must be load into a dynamic textfield, the char '' and ''; but, if I wrote so, the loading stop when arrive to '', because Flash think this is the start of a tag, and I can't write neither 'lt;' nor 'gt;', because '' for Flash it means the start of a new text block. Where can I find a table of equivalent 'coded' chars, that is possible to use within Flash? Enrico Tomaselli + web designer + [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.metatad.it Well, I find on Macromedia site the table that I search, but the trouble its always on... If, instead than '' I write %3C, Flash recognize this like '', and it think that is a tag open, then - without the expected tag close - the load of following text stops. Trying to find a solution to this, I have met another strange behavior: thinkin' that, if the problem is the 'open without close tag', I wrote something like this condition 1: %3Cfont color=#ff%3E/font condition 2 where, obviously, white (#ff) is the background color; well, Flash show like below! condition 1: condition 2 Then, what it done is the follow: - don't stop the following text loading - don't show the char '' - instead show the char '', that should be white (no visible) ... I'm upcoming to become crazy! There is a solution to this problem? How can I write the '' char, inside an html dynamic textfield?

Re: [Flashcoders] special characters
Well, the question is that the (.txt) files are done by unskilled users, using a simple appl to apply some basic features to chars (like bold, italic, underlined), so I must use simple text files. But, at last, maybe the string manipulation option is the only way... thank you for suggestion.

Re: [Flashcoders] special characters
In which case the onData option might be your best bet. The text files can then be whatever you like - it's up to you to process them in whatever way you wish. Basically by providing your own LoadVars.onData() function, you completely replace Flash's default processing of text files - you are just handed the raw text as a string and can do what you like with it. Take a look in the documentation.
