RE: [Flashcoders] missing glyphs

2008-01-25 Thread Mendelsohn, Michael 
Thanks Ain.  There doesn't seem to be much of a solution.   I couldn't open the 
fla in the zip file, but I'm guessing you created it in CS3, which I don't 
have.  (8) 

However, I did come up with a not versatile workaround for my purposes:

// where tf is a TextFormat...
// unicode glyphs not showing up
//var symbol:String = (i == 0) ? "\u2264" : "\u2265";
//var symbol:String = (i == 0) ? "≤" : "≥";
var symbol:String = (i == 0) ? "<" : ">";
objMarkText.text = String("Objective: " + symbol + " " + _root[String("kra" + 
(i + 1) + "objective")]);
// workaround for unicode glyphs not showing up...
tf.underline = true;
objMarkText.setTextFormat(11, tf);
tf.underline = false;

// traces correctly...but glyph doesn't show up in objMarkText.text

RE: [Flashcoders] missing glyphs

2008-01-25 Thread Mendelsohn, Michael 
Thanks for replying Cory.  I am doing that.  I have a TextFormat with an 
embedded font that is displaying correctly.  The issue is these two glyphs of 
that font not showing up.  The rest of the font's characters are there.

Even when I use either of these when building the string, the glyphs don't 
display:
var symbol:String = (i == 0) ? "≤" : "≥";
// or...
var symbol:String = (i == 0) ? "\u2264" : "\u2265";

Also, trace(symbol) traces the glyphs no problem.

I *thought* actionscript is saved as Unicode, or maybe that's just .as files.  
This is script in the .fla itself.  Maybe that has something to do with it?

Still thinking...
