English CD interface won't open in Asian system

[Penny]

Hello,

I have one more question... we have an existing CD interface in English we want to localize into several languages, such as German and Japanese. I set the system locale of the computer to Japanese, and when I went to open the .am6 file in AutoPlay it gave me the error "Couldn't load". I set the system locale to German, and the .am6 file opened just fine. I set the system locale to Simplified Chinese, tried to open it, same error ("Couldn't load"). Forgive me if I am missing something very obvious (I only started working with AutoPlay a couple days ago!), but does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening, and how I can fix it so it opens when the system is set to an Asian locale?

Thanks!

Penny

I figured it out... if I save the .am6 as UTF-8 instead of ANSI, it opens just fine.

<sigh>

It worked fine for Japanese when I saved it as UTF-8, but apparently the same does not apply for S. Chinese. No matter what encoding I save it as, I still get the "Error: couldn't load <project name>" message. Any ideas?

Hey Penny,in addition to saving the text file as UTF-8 you would have to set the FontScript value for the labels properties too...I think that this is what you are probably missing out on...If needed I could come up with an example to show how this property could be applied to all the labels very easily by tommorow, as I have no AMS with me on the PC I am using and I don't want to give a bad example with errors and such...

I wasn't able to find a "FontScript" property. Is this something that needs to be added? I played around with creating some projects on a Chinese system but I can't figure out what is different between them and the one that won't open... I'd appreciate an example! Thanks.
