Embed euro symbol htmlText won't work. Result is small box. Font arial bold. Euro symbol is included in special characters (embed menu)

[lxx33]

I want to output txt files in html format. Everything works as it should, only the euro symbol will not show.  I want htmlText, because this way I can underline some parts of the text, make color changes ect. ect. I cannot output the euro symbol. I've tried embedding but with no result.

Testetd Arial Bold with Flash CC on Win7. Works as expected.

for me the normal text output also works. But as soon as I use dynamic text with htmlText, if will not show correctly ;(

[moccamaximum]

I used dynamic.

Remember to use htmlText property when inserting strings via Code not text

Also: htmlText is very restricted and can give weird formating issues.

If you want control over your Formating, TextFormat is a much better option.

I will check the TextFormat, if I can find a tutorial.

Now i have as code:

var loaderSoortjesNl:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("soortjes_nl.txt"));

loaderSoortjesNl.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandlerSoortjesNl);

function completeHandlerSoortjesNl(event:Event):void {

    var loadedText:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);

    textSoortjesNl.htmlText = loadedText.data;

}

soortjes_nl.txt have the following inside.

<u>test</u>

test

€

<u>€</u>

at the moment it will output in:

test

test

▢

▢

instead of:

test

test

€

€

Because it's a menu with some prices in it, the euro symbol (i use ctrl+alt+5) is for me real important.

[moccamaximum]

you should not use newLines in htmlText but <br> tag.

<u>test</u><br>test<br>€<br><u>€</u>

[lxx33]

that wil also output in the same result

many many tnx

somehow adding &#8364; in my txt file will display the euro symbol in the text. Don't know why adding the euro symbol by ctrl+alt+5 or Alt0128 won't work with the swf output, while it shows in the txt file.

That are more ways leading to rome. I will use &#8364;

anywayz tnx very much for all the time.

TLF-Text was deprecated in FlashCC, I tested my solution in CC, so don`t be surprised if your workaround doesn`t work after an upgrade.
