How helpful the helpfile is...

[gvanassche]

I should consult the HLP more often. I was truggeling with some strange characters popping up in french text all the time... Turns out that AMS does not support Unicode, even not UTF-8... It is in the helpfile...

The fact that AMS does not support unicode, even not when reading XML, is a serious handicap, in fact to me it is a show stopper. My app needs to read Russian, Chinese & Japanese. No way you can do this without unicode.

Does anyone know a workarround (not for buttons & labels, but for XML)?
Or does someone know when AMS will support unicode?

thanks

Hi!

We've run into the same problem - our workaround is to use small Flash objects which read the text in the XML files. The flash objects are put whereever we need full language support in our AutoPlay project.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but it might be worth a shot.

with all the plus points of useing a scripting engine we have to accecpt some drawbacks, one of these drawbacks is the fact lua does not support unicode chars.
