XML encoding

[free_your_dog]

I have a problem with XML file into The MM Tree Menu.
Is it possible too use Scandinavian letters as O with al slash "ø" in the menu ?

I have tried to write this:
xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" standalone="yes"
line in the XML file but the MM Tree menu is not working.

Is this a mac problem ??

Hi,

You guys seem to be in the same boat as the guys here:

http://board.flashkit.com/board/show...hreadid=284145




And a few others trying to encode Greek/Italian/Others into XML.

Have a look at the thread above for some hints.

Looks like another FAQ topic is needed.

Thanks

Luke

Tubbs - Actually this is a kind of funny. I tried to email you earlier on but my SMTP is down.

I found a solution to the problem!!

I saw you participate in a question about "Special scandinavian characters" and I have actually been looking for the same answer for a week or two. Your answer was that Flash's Xml parser have got a bad habbit with languages.

Actually I just found a solution. Take the Xml file with the special characters into to notepad and "save as" UTF-8 - Then the folloing will work.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <title>nyheder</title> <nyheder> <overskrift>hej æøå</overskrift> <tekst>Tekst med æøå og hele molevitten...</tekst> <brugerNavn>Nikolajdu</brugerNavn>
<brugerEmail>flasher@nikolajdu.dk</brugerEmail>

</nyheder>
</xml>

What i do miss now is a way to create Xml files from PHP in that format so that they can come from my database. Anyway is was a huge and very mysterical step.

Put a space immediately after the less than symbol in the XML code

Hi Nikolay

I have tried to do as you write but no lock !

My flash file is generate by MX and I am using a 6 player.
I don't know if you have to write in the Flash file or if you can change language by the XML file as you are so post to do.


Have you used the MM _Tree_menu with Danish ??

The only characters that will appear are the characters in the standard ASCII list of 256 character (Latin 1) or JIS (Japanese). Flash does not understand UniCode nor does it support it.

If the characters you need are in the standard set you are in luck. Otherwise you will have to find another solution (images or a custom font)

Thanks
