Re: Unicode fonts in director MX
I've made contact with somebody of the Director support team and it seems that even in Director MX Unicode fonts/text will not be supported. In this matter i have chosen to make the entire application in Flash MX, which supports the unicode standard and also handles XML files quite well. I searched the list archives for alternatives in director. I have found a lot but nothing sathisfying. I am sure it is possible somehow meanwhile: thanks to everybody who replied to my question. erik verschueren analyst-developer Alligence Modern Media Architects Schaliënhoevedreef 20 E 2800 Mechelen B-Belgium +32 15 40 50 60 http://www.alligence.com [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

greek ... in director MX ?
Hi all, i posted a few days ago the question about the greek character display in director. After trying all kinds of possible approaches , i found none of them worked for me. It IS in fact a problem. Now .. I was wondering : Does anybody know if the MX version of director will support UTF-8 .. or different codepages than the traditional ISO-8859-1 It would make the difference between choosing director as the preffered development platform (my choice , if not for the greek) or making a cd-rom in HTML, which is visually lessinteresting but HTML supports UTF-8 .. If anyone else got a "halleluja"-clue for me, please let me know , it's important (aargh). thanx . erik verschueren http://www.alligence.com [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Re:xml in foreign languages
Your problems aren't with XML, but with Director and the languages you are using. Finnish should be no problem, at least on Windows, because the character set is part of the standard ANSI character set. Director basically, as far as I can determine, uses only code page 1252 on Windows, the code page for Latin 1, defined by the ISO 8859.1 standard, which is essentially the same as ANSI. Greek, defined by ISO 8859.7, uses code page 1253. If your font is a true Greek font, and you are running on a Greek system, you should see everything in Greek. However, if you're running on another system, you will probably see garbage characters, because Director is matching the high ANSI characters with the glyphs in the font's 1252 area, where it might have ANSI characters. I just found. Greek is giving me problems. I was going through the archives and some say using embedded adjusted greek fonts would do but this hasn't worked out for me. I guess there's no quick solution then unless going through custom made conversions. (ascii-wise). Anyone? As for the beta-xtra , nik, nice piece of work at first sight. i will definitely try to look into it.

xml in foreign languages
I have a big project coming up which involves multiple , 14 i guess, languages including greek, finnish and so on . All of these contain multiple special characters. I want to put all the text in XML. Is there anybody who has encountered any kind of problems along this line. (meaning in XML and in Director) I expect trouble because char's are displayed well in the xml (using UTF-8) and browser but not in director . that's why i ask . thanx erik.

Re: Database for a Mac and PC CD-Rom
Hello marc, I 've had some satisfying results using xml for all the textformatting And the xml parser xtra which is standard-included in director .. Using this you don't need to buy (2 different mac-pc) xtras..and you can find all the documentation on how to parse XML and extract the data on the macromedia-site... Other advantages : - your data remains strictly separated from the actual project thus making updates, corrections, ... very easy .. - it's a very flexible format and there are many (freeware and shareware) tools that help you in formatting your xml.. -- XML itself is FREE and so on and so on..

Re: My Crystal Ball (Kerry Thompson)
- Flash MX vs. Director 8.5?? Whatever .. They both have its own advantages Depending on what you'd like to do i guess... (at least for me they do) But what i like about MX is that it runs natively under my MACOS X While the Director 8.5( which i use far more frequently ) is very unstable When running in "classic mode".. So what's up with Director 9/X ?? does anybody have a clue ?? Or are they going to wait as long as they did to come up with a shockwave-plugin for the osX-browsers,,?? - [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Lingo vs. PHP
Dear people,
If i wouldn't have a problem ya'll ain't be readin' this...
Concerning the following :
I want to send a post/getNetText from director
To a php-server (in this case my own (osX with PHP configured) but i don't
think that is revelant)
Using the following(test-setup)
global gnetID
on exitFrame me
if netdone(gnetID) then
if neterror(gnetID) <> "" then
put nettextresult(gnetID)
else
put "on dze way"
end if
else
put "not done"
end if
go the frame
End
global gnetID
on mouseUp me
gnetID = getnettext("http://127.0.0.1/~erikx/php/action.php?name=erik";)
-- there is a variable ($name)in the php that should output some text
End
So all i get is the following in my message window
"
-- "on dze way"
-- "not done"
-- "not done"
-- ""
And so on..
I have also tried the "post" with a property-list (because i have more than
one variable) the "get" with a single one and so on...
Anyone any ideas???
Thank you very much
Erik.
