[ahwell]

hi,
Can someone explain to me how I can type a euro sign in Flash? I only hava dollar sign on my keyboard and the keys i normally use to type euro (ctrl-alt-5) dont work of course..

thanks in advance,
Marieke

I think you should create a dynamic text box and put its unicode in it, like :

Code: Select all

myText.text = "\u20AC";

when u play ur movie it will show euro sign...

hm i changed my static text fields into dynamics and now they wont show anymore...i only see the dynamic text when i hit enter and play it on the stage?
where should i put the code? i dont get it..heres an example to make things more clear.
instead of 'voor amper 24,95 per maand' it should say a euro sign in front of the '24,95'
