I need to be able to generate UCC/EAN 128 barcodes with our ActionScript-based application. A already have the Code 128 font integrated, but need to create UCC/EAN 128 barcodes. Browsing information from Google, I found that the UCC/EAN 128 is actually a subversion of Code 128, so it hasn't got its own font. How can I generate UCC/EAN barcodes, then? I haven't found any answer browsing Google for hours :-(

I just know that UCC/EAN 128 has got some special prefix, but how to implement them inside the code correctly?

I need to use fonts.

Thanks in advance for some tips.

From what I can see, that might be a problem. The GS1-128 (formerly UCC/EAN 128) isn't compatible with web-based products if you are attempting the ASCII method. However, for details on how to work with this font, this FAQ should provide some help:

Yeah, thanks, but these advices from IDAutomation seem to work just with their own products. Thanks for trying to help anyway.
