I'm working on a chat system. It utilizes emojis. I used the emoji library (or most of it) from this project (https://code.google.com/p/mxprojects/) everything works well or so I thought until I checked on a MacBookPro. Suddenly the emojis don't show on the mac. It works perfect on pc (xp and W7). When I start to debug, it comes down to the fact that getCharBoundaries is returning null when trying to use it. It is the main function used to place the emojis. I have searched the web, Adobe support, etc. and have tried many things but nothing works. Ultimately I'm at a loss here as flash is supposed to be self-contained and should work once compiled the same on all OS's or so I thought.
I don't get it, on the pc this works flawlessly but it totally breaks on the mac because of this function!! How can this be?
You can see this live by visiting the project demo as the same thing happens there: http://mxprojects.com/forum_v3/#/?t=938&p=1
If you pull that page up on a pc it will work properly, you will see the forum entry and emotes. Try it on a mac and you won't.
I'm using CS4 on windows to build with AS3. FYI
Any help with this is greatly, greatly appreciated. I have been going crazy for 2 days trying to resolve this to no avail and I need to finish this for a client. Someone has to have some insight. Please help!!
Thanks in advanced - paul
