ActionScript 2.0 :: 1 Embedded Font, Exported With 2 Identifiers: Only 1 Identifier Works?
Nov 19, 2010
I am using Flash CS5 but working on an old fla file from a few years ago (which uses an AS2 file as its code).I have to recompile the fla, because I changed a few tiny things in the AS code, so I saved it as CS5, recompiled and published...The original fla file embeds the font _sans, but it exports it twice (so the AS code could use it), each time with a different identifier.The problem is that only one identifier is working in the final swf. Text boxes that use other identifier do not show any text at all.So I guess there is a collision? Is it not allowed to export a single font twice with two different identifiers? How to solve this problem?Fla rules for embedding fonts might have changed since the old fla has been written... because its old swf did show text for both the identifiers.

I'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.

I have an embedded font in my AIR/AS3 app that lacks support for most internationalcharacters. Using TextField and StyleSheet with the font-family property, I assumed I would simply need to do this:font-family: Interstate-Regular, _sans;This works if TextField.embedFonts = false; but then Interstate-Regular isn't embedded for users that don't have it on their system. With TextField.embedFonts = true; the text doesn't even show up. Is there a way to embed Interstate-Regular and still use _sans as a fallback system font without embedding it as well?

I am having referencing a linked movieclip.
I have a scroll pane with the instance name menuScroll. The scrollPane loads a linked movie clip called menuDropMC with the same instance name. MenuDropMC also loads several instances of a linked movie clip called moduleNameMC with the same instance name. The moduleNameMC contains a button called moduleBtn. I am trying to disable this button from root.
The moduleNameMCs are generated dynamically and are followed by a number using a for loop.("moduleNameMC"+i)
e.g. moduleNameMC0, moduleNameMC1, moduleNameMC2, etc.
I have tried the following:
_root.menuScroll.menuDropMC.moduleNameMC0.moduleBt n.enabled = false;
menuScroll.menuDropMC.moduleNameMC0.moduleBtn.enab led = false;
menuDropMC.moduleNameMC0.moduleBtn.enabled = false;
moduleNameMC0.moduleBtn.enabled = false;

I'm using Flex 4. I'm trying to apply a embedded font in all Alert components of the application, to get the same style that all the app, of course. I code in my CSS file:
[Code]...
The font-family worked to all componentes, but not to the Alert component. In alert the text message and title got unvisible. If I change to other font-family it works correctly, just the embedded font doesn't work on Alert component. Anyone got this problem? Obs: The embedded font worked in all the app, just the Alert no.

I have generated an swf file that contains my embedded font of specified Unicode range, then I am loading this swf into my application. The code in the generated file for the font, automatically registers the font using the Font.registerFont method. I then load this swf file into my application, I never add it to the display list, I just created an instance of the file so that the code is executed to register the font.
Then I use the font name when I create embedded text fields and there you go it works... well it used to, I am not having any luck at the moment though. Sometimes it displays fine, other times it all appears cut off and I see a few pixels of the text I am trying to display.... Anyone else had a similar issue? Know what it might be? I have created a class below that I am using for the embedded font text, any issues people see with this?

Is it possible to create a flash file, which can be embedded into a website for on-demand viewing and be exported to a cd while maintaing interactivity, that is geared towards an online elearning environment? Basically a client wants a video that is broken down into various chapters with an interactive "course" for each chapter.The interacivity will included answering questions correctly in order to move on to the end of the chapter.

I've built a SWF with the top layer being an invisible button. As a test, I simply uploaded the file to the server and clicked it. Here is the URL where the file is located: [URL] When clicked anywhere, it should take you here: [URL] and it does. I sent the SWF to a third party vendor who have placed the masthead at the top of a page: [URL] which its on their server. When you mouse over the image, it appears clickable, but if you click it, no action takes place. It's the exact same file. Why is it working from one place, but not the other?

I've been working on redesigning our site for the past few day snow and I'm probably just getting tired/burnt out so I came here for some extra opinions and eyes. I have a flash file that will simply fade in and out logos of companies we've dealt with in the past and they are being pulled from XML so I can update it more easily later. Anyway, I bring it over to our developer machine and the SWF file works fine if I few it just as it is in the browser, however, the second I embed it, no matter what method I use (SWFobject, old school embed tags or whatever) it shows there's a flash file there but the XML is obviously not reading.
I've tried using relative and absolute paths (again only on a test server so the absolute path is a localhost path) and still nothing. Our site is dynamic, but the page its on, our default/index page, is pretty straightforward. Here's the online of our folders.

As you can see on [url]...the last part of the Flash movie seems to be broken. Oddly enough, when I take the embedded SWF and view it separately[url]...
I'm not a flash expert, I don't know what can go wrong with embedding etc. but the actual FLA file seems to be ok, the map layer that is coming through randomly at the end shouldn't even be there! The frames at this point of the timeline on this layer are actually empty.

I have a .Swf, which has 3 fonts embedded in it, they are all exported in frame 1 for AS. This swf loads any number of external .swfs which have dynamically generated textfields inside of them. This text must be embedded text because effects may be applied to them. I do not want to embed the three fonts into every external swf, and do not think I should have to. The font exists in the Loading swf and I have registered the fonts to the global font list. If I print this list from the loaded swf, all three fonts are present, but when I try to use any of them, my textfiels are empty.
how do I utilize a font which is embedded in a swf, from a swf which has been loaded into that swf?
From my external swf, this code:
PHP Code:
var embeddedFonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(false);embeddedFonts.sortOn("fontName", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);trace(embeddedFonts);
[Code]....
which is exactly what I would expect. Yet, my text box is still blank. I have embedText = true on the text box, and have applied a string to the "text" property, so it's nothing silly liek that.

I have an English based flash set that I'm localizing in Japanese. The client has written to embed the fonts in a font.swf. So I figured I can just add 'New Font' for Japanese fonts, add the class ID to the script file:
var font:LoadFont = new
LoadFont('fonts.swf',['ArialRegular','ArialMedium',
'MSUIGothicReg', 'MSUIGothicBold']);
then export the fonts,swf, and launch the main.swf, JPN fonts should show up correctly. But instead, I get blanks for Japanese characters. Does anyone know what I missed? I've tried other methods: 1) add a layer in main file, 'Character Embedding' in Properties; 2) 'Character Embedding' each text boxes in main; none has worked.

I have a situation in AS3 where I am required to embed a font but the .tff font file to be distributed with the software can't be seen by the user for copyright reasons. At the moment I embed the font using metadata in a sub folder of the application and it all works nicely, but I am not sure as how to hide the .tff?

I have an html text field that I want to use as an ongoing chat field (dynamic) and since flash has alignment issues with images inside text, I thought I'd embed a nice picturesque font and then just code them apart
e.g <p><font face='_sans' size='12'>Hello </font><font size='21'> there</font></p>
The embedded font is the default font for the textbox, so only the non graphical text needs to have a font face. So in that example "Hello" would be in text and "there" would be the graphical font.
Problem is, after much trouble even getting the font to embed and appear, that the sans text never appears.Also, Iam constranied in that I have to publish as flash 6.

Flash IDE's font embedding, so I gave it a try and went full AS3:
[Code]....
Problem is, this function only works in half the fields I pass to it, randomly. When it "fails", the field seems empty (even when it's not) and if it's an input one it's not possible to even place the text cursor in it.
No error, no warning and the fields are exact copies of the other with different instance names.
In the example above "txtPassword" worked but not "txtUser".

If you import fonts as symbols into the Library in Flash's IDE, are those font symbols available only to the document class, or can they be used by other classes? Do those other classes need to be passed a reference to it? Question Two: This seems to be standard way to embed fonts into a class:
[Code]...
Often embeding fonts using the above method doesn't work. I've done lots and lots (and lots!!) of testing and the transcoder is very picky about which fonts it finds acceptable. It really likes .otf fonts but often not .ttf I found out that there are 3 different font managers used to transcode fonts, and although the correct one is supposed to be selected automatically, this doesn't always happen.
[URL] The solution to this in Flex is to add this additional compiler argument: -managers=flash.fonts.AFEFontManager My question is, does anyone out there know how to force the AFEF font manager in the Flash IDE?

I have a request concerning font embedding,i'm running flash Cs5 and loving the new embed system but i actually forgot to embed some fonts on a textbox and now, at compile-time the output throws :"Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts."I mean that's great, but i'd like to know which textbox actually hasn't got its font embedded so i can fix that (stupid flash )I have a lot of textboxes in this project so it will be long before i have re-embedded everything.

When publishing this FLA, the mac finder gives this message "flash is trying to access files on your external HD. Allow?"When I allow it, all goes well. When I don't allow it or when the external HD is not present, flash cannot embed fonts.I do have the proper fonts on my system and in the library. I don't have these font problems with other FLA files.If I copy all the internal frames and library elements into a new clean FLA, the problem still exists...

[URL] This is the link of my project. I embedded a kind of pixlated customfont say "font.tff". As you can see the clock in the right corner uses this font, but the glow behind it, doesn't (on my other computer it is). How do I fix this? I already manually embedded the characters at the dynamic textfield. If you hover over the "city" in middle left, you'll see a stats window. The font there works fine.
