ActionScript 2.0 :: Embedding Font So That A Group Of Textfields Will Display Correctly When They Are Tweened
Nov 26, 2006I'm learning AS3 with Flex Builder 2, and have run into all sorts of difficulties when trying to embed a font so that a group of textfields will display correctly when they are tweened. There are a number of examples posted across the web which apparently work fine for other people, but I've tried them unsuccessfully. Perhaps this is because other people are using the Flash 9 alpha and it works differently in Flex, though I don't know why that should be. For example, with this code I receive an error that says "Unable to resolve "C:WindowsFontsARIAL.TTF for transcoding" even though the file exists in that location.

As3 :: Flash - Dynamically Runtime Font Embedding?
Feb 11, 2011I have a AS3 project in Flash CS4 in which I am dynamically loading in a font whose location is passed in via XML. It works when I write in the font name (here EASTERAR.TTF). However, if I replace it with a variable, I get an invalid metadata error.
Works fine

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Sizing A Group Of Textfields Based On Font Size?
Oct 24, 2009I have made a UI control which contains a bunch of TextFields representing the members of an Array. I draw these un a list like in a combo box's drop down. Currently I hard code the height of the TextFields, iterate through the Array and position the TextFields by adding the hard coded height each time. Simple enough.
But now I would like to put the control in another place where I must use smaller text. So I would like to make the thing general so I can resuse it whenever I want, simply by applying a new TextFormat. My problem is that I want to still be able to position the TextFields accurately regardless of the font size used in the TextFormat. I have tried just creating the TextField, applying the TextFormat, setting the text, and then trying to read the TextField's height, but alas this does not work.
what the best way is to find each TextField's height so that I can build my list?
Css :: Embedding Font In Flex Locally With A Installed Font Works, But With Url To Refer To A Ttf Font File Doesn't
Feb 7, 2011I'm trying to embed a font in my project by using url("font.ttf") rather than local("Font Name"), but it doesn't seem to pick it up. The font in question is called "Gotham Bold". When i view the details of the font, the font weight is regular, however when i use local("Gotham Bold") in the css i have to specify fontWeight: bold or else it wont pick it up. But when I use url("folderGotham-Bold.ttf"), and specify fontWeight: bold, it says that font weight is not found for that TTF. If i remove the fontweight, there's no errors, but the font is not applied to the text.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Create TextFields And Still Access Them?
Mar 18, 2009in AS3, How can I dynamically create TextFields and still be able to access them individually?for example, a for/next loop creates 3 textFields:
for (var num:Number = 0; num<3; num++){
var txtFld:TextField = new TextField;
txtFld.text = 'This is the original text';
this.addChild(txtFld);
}
now say later on, I want to change the text of one of the textfields:
txtFld.text = 'This is the new Text';
The problem is, in the variable list, there is only one txtFld, the last one created. How can I access the other textFields?

May 4, 2011What im looking to do is dynamically create TextFields based on my array.length. So if I have 3 strings in my array then 3 TextFields with the array text needs to be created.
I've managed to actually create TextFields based on the array.length - however afterwards I dont know how to reference them individually, to lets say re-position x, y for array[1]. I've tried saving the Textfields in another array by .push method, but can't seem to reference them correctly.
//Create textfields based on data in Array - in this case 3 textfields
var textArray:Array = new Array('First TextField','TextField Two','Anything, really');
//Array to .push "save" created textfields

Professional :: Font Embedding Or Change The Font When Need Subscripts And Superscripts
Oct 4, 2010I need to present chemical formulas with subscripts and superscripts in a dynamic text box.

CS3 Embedding Fonts Doesn't Work On Non-coded TextFields?
Apr 19, 2010I'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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Global Embedded Font For All TextFields
Mar 20, 2006I have this very very large project I've been working on. I've just realized the font I've been using isn't standard on PCs. So now I have to embed the font for all the text fields in the whole project (they all use the same font), most of which are dynamic. I've added the font to the library, but I don't want to go through the hassle of telling every text area to embed that font due to the vast number of text areas and the project's complexity. Is there an easier method of setting all of the text in the movie to use the embedded font, or am I just going to have to bite the bullet? Can I use CSS to do it, or something easier?
View 3 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Change Font Size Of All Textfields?
Nov 8, 2011I'm in the midst of the very honorable job of adding localization support for all kinds of languages. This would not be a problem if the main font we use would support asian and russian symbols.
After some nosing around I found a substitution font that has support for asian and russian symbols. However this substitution font isn't spaced in the same way as our original font. If I just replace the old font for the new font then all the text will be misaligned, too big and also lowered quite a bit.
What I'd like to do is when a textfield is loaded I check for what language is chosen and scale/resize/reposition the textfields accordingly.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Embedding Font In CS3
Nov 13, 2008I am trying to embed font in CS3. The chinese text is visible on local desktop but not on remote desktop. Below are the steps that I have followed.
* created a new font in Library and given a linkage name to it. [Tried with Arial UniCode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode]
* Given this font name to textField on stage.
* Registered this new font.
* enumerated the font in an array.Later assigned this font name to Font instance.
* Used FontInstance.fontName as textFormat's font and applied this textformat as defaultTextFormat.
* Assigned chinese hardcoded text.
I tried with textFieldName.embedFont=true, but it didn't. This swf shows chinese text on local desktop. But same swf when viewed from a remote desktop, chinese text appears as squares. Let me know if I am missing any step.
Way Of Embedding A Font In Flash?
Nov 16, 2011I'm using Flash CS5 and I have a problem with my exported SWF file: it's over 100kb in size. I have 2 vectorial symbols and 4 dynamic text with embed Calibri font boxes which are displaying information from an external XML file. These text boxes are the ones which are generating the most size of my swf file. I need to cut down somewhere, I've searched but I haven't came across a "best practices guide to embedding fonts in a flash file". I find it hard to believe that if you only embed alphanumerical characters of 1 single font your file size reaches >100kb..

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Font Embedding Bug
Feb 3, 2010Is there a known bug for the following case?
Case:
A project I'm working on doesn't seem to handle font embedding correctly when the font is added dynamically using actionscript. When I test my movie it does not display the embedded font at all. Curious about this is, that when I create an empty project using the same code and then embed the font and test the movie it displays the font without any problem.
Sometimes a reboot of the machine I'm working on will suffice to make the embedding work again, but sometimes is not all the time. So I was wondering if there was a memory related bug that causes this behavior. If so, is there any sight on a solution for this bug? It's more than annoying to reboot eight times a day, just to test a movie.
How did I embed the font:
1. Create a "New Font" in the Library, set the properties and give it a classname.
2. Using actionscript to embed the font in a dynamically generated TextField.
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.text.Font;

ActionScript 3.0 :: External TTF Font Embedding?

Aug 5, 2010I've searched high and low for an answer and it might be a foolish endeavour but i'd like to be able to read fonts from a directory at runtime for use in an actionscript/flex app.Ive seen the answers on the web and all rely on putting fonts in external swfs and certainly rely on embed meta tags or styles when i'd like a local fonts directory to be able to be used, its not too user friendly asking a user to compile their own swfs to use the app.The only answer I can see is to have a server running mxmlc and creating .mxml files with embed tags every time a user wants to update their fonts and recompiling the app when needed but its a bit much.
View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Font Embedding Does Not Work Or?
Sep 1, 2010i 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.

Jan 18, 2009I want to be able to dynamically load a font. The path to the font (a TTF file) will be specified in an XML file. It would similar to loading a XML or bitmap. From the examples I've seen, the font has to be embedded in the source code or has to be placed in a SWF file. This to me means that you have to load all the fonts you need in advance and someone can't add a font that wasn't already pre-loaded.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Font Embedding With Cyrillic Only?
Jul 5, 2011I have quite a big issue with regards to bold / italic Verdana fonts in dynamic text boxes in flash with Russian characters.I've tried everything now that I can think of and read various posts but nothing is shouting out at me for what to do next.I have uploaded a tiny flash file for this one..http:[url].....Here's what I have done so far:
- I have embedded the character sets using the "embed" button.
- I have also added the fonts in my library
- I have also edited the linkage in the library to export for actionscript.
This worked perfectly, until translation came into play. Spanish, German, French characters, all work fine.Russian (Cyrillic) however will not work in bold or italic.If you change the Russian text for English it works fine on both.I have attached 2 files one called bold the other called normal.Both exactly the same however one has bold set as true in the actionscript.
