ActionScript 1/2 :: Can't Get Embedding Characters To Work
May 12, 2009
I have to embed VAGRounded bold. I can't seem to get it to work reliably. I have created 4 dynamic text boxes, one for each of the 4 styles and embedded the characters into each one for the 4 versions of the font. I then wrote some text directly into the boxes on the stage.I created a 5th dynamic box and called it "test". I set the family to VAG ROunded, style:bold (ie just like one of the ones above). I then embedded the characters into it.I added this dead simple as2.[code]THis 5th text box looks NOTHING like the bold one from above, as you can see in the attached image.

I'm trying to embed a handful of European language characters into a little flash news ticker (Swedish, Norwegian and some others).I'm embedding my swf file in the html and passing a FlashVars variable This is the text that the ticker displays.For some reason the swf doesn't render the character when I put a foreign character such as in the HTML. I have embedded all these fonts in the dynamic text box in my .fla Attached is the .fla and .html file where you can input the text for the swf to display.
PHP Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><title>Flashvars Example</title></head> <body> <p><object width="728" height="36" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

So I've got a basic actionscript text generator:Additional details:(you'll probably need japanese font loaded to read this)what is supposed to look like "The sign readsnstead loads as "The sign reads I don't understand why the english aspect of the fonts are loading but the Japanese symbols are failing - even if I set up an off stage textbox with the same kanji symbols embedded.
this.createTextField("tLabel", this.getNextHighestDepth(), pointx, pointy, 280, 70);this.createTextField("aLabel", this.getNextHighestDepth(), pointx, pointy + 75, 220, 50);this.createTextField("bLabel", this.getNextHighestDepth(), pointx + 80, pointy + 75,

I have seen this somewhere, people make a swf just for the fonts, import fonts they need into the library (and embed just the wanted characters) and they probably load this swf somewhere....

Code:
myText.html = true;
myText.embedFonts = true;
myText.multiline = true;
myText.wordWrap = true;
var myVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
[Code]...
What should I do to also embed special characters? I thought importing font symbols should take care of that?

Does anybody know how to force Flash to embed all neededcharacters when creating font symbol? When embedded font is used in textfields instead of device fonts a lot of characters stop to be accessible. IsFlash limited to use only with a couple of languages? What about rest of them?

Here the text is "Press â–²+â–¼ to reset it to default." But when I set testTF.embedFonts = true; up and down arrow is not shown in output. If you set the value to false, characters are shown.

I have all text fields set to static which supposedly has the characters embedded. However, when I open the file on a computer that does not have that font installed (Helvetica Neue) it is replaced with Time New Roman. I've read some articles about embedding on flash, but none of them seem to be quite clear about this. I have even tried to change the text fields from static to dynamic and embedding the glyphs, but it just doesn't look as good as when I have static text. Besides being a heck of a waste of time, since I would have to do it for all of the pages... This would be like 200 text fields or so..

When embedding fonts programmatically, (example here), is it possible to specify certain characters as you might if embedding within the Flash IDE?Here is my code so far, which simply embeds the font. It works, but I am assuming that it is embedding an entire character set.
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;

i have this weird problem. I have a major project, no details needed except that it is split to many SWFs, and so - I would like to use a Shared Library to embed the fonts. Done - sl_fonts.swf loaded, fonts - checked and working, the rest of the SWFs are loaded AFTER (checked by a preloader).
Now - again, I traced the result of the request to the font, it is all like
DEBUG: REQUEST ArialBlack RETURN [class EMArialBlack] (main.swf)
DEBUG: GOT [class EMArialBlack] (loaded.swf)
The loaded SWF file requested for ArialBlack and it seems that it got an answer - EMArialBlack, which is the embedded font's class.
The weird thing is that when I put this return to a TextFormat's .font, it does not really work. I even traced the TextFormat.font after setting it to the return. It actually traced [class EMArialBlack]. BUT when I set this TextFormat to a TextField it does not work? If embedFonts is off, it has no result (it keeps the old _sans placeholder font). If it is on, no text is shown at all.

I'm developing a site which brings the text data from external .txt files, the problem is it doesn't recognize the escape caracters for the return "
". the flash uses System.useCodePage = true; because in this way it can recognize special characters like � or � and so on.

I've got a couple of TextField initialized in code (as3). They use my embedded font (aharoni), and that just works. But the fonts that i've written directly into the movieclips in flash cs3, just don't work.
When i play the swf on another computer that doesn't have aharoni, the coded TextFields are aharoni, but the textFields in the movieclips that i've written directly are Times new Roman, because that computer doesn't have Aharoni.
I've set the text font to my embedded font.

im loading a text from a mysql-db with php. I use url encoding/decoding but still my flash shows a small "square" instead of "�" (for example) in the textfield (using arial). Embedding the font doesnt work either i think.

I have a few variables that I need to pass to Flash,
so.addVariable("var4","crer");
I read that I can do this by using this: so.addVariable("var4",encode("crer"));
but that won't work either.. the gets replaced by FFFD instead.

We have embedded a FLASH with tags <object> and <embed> in a JSP page , running in a web application on a Application Server (Weblogic Server).The flash works fine.We note that, as expected, the code inside <object> is replaced at runtime. (when we access to HTML source code we can view an HTML code differente from <object> and <embed> tags).
But we also tried to call the web page through wget (from command line) and we saw that the HTML source code that we receive is ALREADY replaced.When and from who the <object> <embed> code is replaced ?From javascript (runned by browser) or before ?

1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc... 2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears. 3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but let me know if I am wrong about this. I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below..

I am trying to defeat my psychological block with dynamically loaded fonts in AS3, and I have an annoying problem. I am creating a clock with a textfield and I am loading fonts from a SWF library: the available classes/linkages are "Arial", "ArialBold", "MyriadPro", "MyriadProBold" and "Verdana".This is the line where I get the class from the SWF, and it extracts the class correctly
Code:
clock = new Clock( { fontClass: assetsLoader.getFontClass("skin", "Arial") } );
The constructor...

I have run across a strange problem. When I load products2.swf by itself, I can call the two "copy" files and everything works. When I open 0342.swf (the index page), I can switch between the home and products2 pages, but I can't view the "copy" pages.I'm guessing there may be some sort of conflict with variable names, but I have been messing with it for most of today.I have uploaded all of the FLA files to here:[url]....
If you make an swf file out of each of the attached items, and open the 0342 file, you will see what is supposed to be happening.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "home";[code].....

I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410

I'm interested in embedding a video into my swf file automatically. Therefore, I managed embedding an flv file onto the stage, but the problem is that after I give the embedded video an instance name and refer to the instance in a command (f.e change x,y coordinates or change width/height), on execution of the swf, the video stays frozen while the audio plays. If I don't refer to the embedded video instance, the video plays normally, just not placed correctly on the stage.
