polish font - ISO 8859-2 (Latin 2) - from external xml file

[marcink]

hi,

i need to import polish text into my flashapplication. i load the text from an external xml file.
so far anything i try fails to display the special characters.

when i hardcode the text, it works, but this is no option...


two more things: i have to create the textfield dynamically ( createTextField(); ), and the font has to be embedded.

can someone point me to the solution of this problem???
any help is appreciated!

thanks
marcin

Is there any reason you can't use UTF-8 encoding for the external file? Flash plays well with that. Other than that I'm not sure there is a solution.

Will this file be played only on Polish language operating systems? In that case useCodePage=true might help, but I'm really not sure.

hi Rothrock,

yeah, it could be so easy... but the player doesn't show the extra characters, when i embed the font.
if i would use system fonts only, no problem.
but i have fade ins/outs and for this i need to embed the font.

thx

hi,

here a solution that worked for me:
i just had to change the language and localization settings in windows, and than flash would take the right codebase of the font...
