I am a beginner for ActionScript 3. I use Flash Pro CC.
My problem is the textfield just could not display some characters, such as j, q, z, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
Additionally, after I run the .swf file, I even could not input these characters in input text (eg. the text of input textfield will be not changed after input "j"), but other characters could be inputted.
I am sure that my keyboard is no problem :), could someone help me ?
I changed the font of that textfield, now it is ok.

It perfectly works when instance name and var name are same in Flash 8, but I don't know how I can do it in Animate CC 2018... I'm okay if you just give me a fla file.
Thank you for understanding my poor English.

I'm making a mini game for my multimedia class using Adobe Animate with ActionScript 3.
The first question requires the user to fill in the blanks to print "hi" like in python.
the question looks like this
_____("hi")
then you would fill in the blanks and click on a check answer button.
Then to check if the answer is correct I use an if-else statement like so :
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
checkBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkClick);
function checkClick(event:MouseEvent): void
{
if(input1.text == "print")
{
ans1.text = "Correct!";
}
else
{
ans1.text = "Wrong answer!";
}
}
However, even if the input is correct, it will skip the if part of the code and run straight into else.
It also won't display uppercase letters?
It'll display "rong answer!" ignoring the uppercase "W".
Any ideas?
#Organis is right; The font needs to be embedded.
Flash Professional CS5 (and later) automatically embeds any characters used by text fields on the Stage. However, if you are using Dynamic or Input text fields, the project may also need to include characters for the font that aren't specifically contained in instances on the Stage during authoring. If you do not embed the necessary characters and text elements are programmatically displayed or entered by the user, the characters may be missing and the application may appear broken.

For help embedding fonts, refer to the Adobe documentation on it.

I have a textbok called stateExplanation. I want to dynamically change the text inside the textbook. This is my ActionScript 3:
stateExplanation.text='Small portion of Pro and large portion of other, Both cease.';
and for some reason when I run the Fla file as a Swf, the comma after the word 'other' do not show up. If I change the comma to a '.', the '.' does show up. How do I get the comma to show up?
Note: I am using ActionScript 3 and Flash CS5 with Flash Player 10.
Answered in the comments: the font needed to be embedded.
I am having trouble loading Chinese Symbols into a TextField from another TextField.
I have a dynamic drop down box that loads its text from a string within the actionscript code, however the actionscript code cannot contain chinese symbols.
I thought the easiest way around this problem would be to load the text from another TextField, however it seems to appear blank, failing to load the text.
example
base1_mc.header1.textbox_txt.text=q1.text;
base1_mc.header1.textbox_txt.text = dynamic drop down textbox.
q1.text = chinese symbols inside TextField on the stage.
I thought this would have been a simple problem, however it doesnt appear to be so.
If I try to load it using this
base1_mc.header1.textbox_txt.text=q1;
it loads some text declaring a new and empty function.
Can anyone help me out here?
Try to turn off embedFonts for TextField. I.E.:
textbox_txt.embedFonts = false.
I have this text "my text is <b>bold</b> and regular".
I want "<b>bold</b>" to be... well, let's say... bold !
I have a mask layer under which there is a text field.
The text field shows htmlText, and i must embed chars. If not embedded, it doesn't display because of the mask. So the solution of importing 2 user fonts ( one bold and one regular) does not work.
I'm thinking this is impossible to do with Flash... Maybe I wrong, am I ?
Thank you !
The problem is that when you embed the characters, it only embeds normal-weight font characters. The Mask is a red-herring; this will happen whether you mask the TextField or not.
You can solve the problem however! Create another TextField in your FLA (off-stage, I imagine) with the same font at the same size, but set the font to bold. Embed characters in that TextField too.
Then, the bold characters in your first TextField will display as bold.
There are other ways to achieve this, especially if you don't use the Flash IDE to compile your swfs (if you use MXML through FDT, FlexBuilder, FlashBuilder or FlashDevelop for example). If you do, then you should lookup how to embed fonts using [Embed] metadata.
