ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Embed Characters Not Working?
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:
stop();
test.text="hello"
THis 5th text box looks NOTHING like the bold one from above, as you can see in the attached image.
I have created a dynamic text box which is used to put the length of a sound clip (which is worked out using AS2).
I want to use a font which isn't standard - VAGRounded, so I need to embed the characters.
If I select Family : VAGRounded and Style : thin then all is well. Ditto if I pick style:light but if I pick Style:bold or Style:black then the nothing displays
In my windows font folder all 4 appear to exist.
I notice that exactly the same appears to happen with the times font too (except some of the family options are different)
When I open the font-mapping box it tells me that there aer some fonts that I can't use but there is not list of what they are.

I am trying to embed a font in my actionsrcipt and the characters don't display at all when the embedFont = true. If it is set to false it displays the characters. I really need this to work because I want to maintain consistency with the font used through out the site.
The problem is that its not a common device font. The TextField is set up in another class I created and the the text formating is applied when the for loop runs in the initialization of the class I'm working in. I've tried everything I can think of and it just will not embed the font and display it.
I'm developing an app in Flash AS3 for a target audience in Europe and America. So now I need to embed the characters for the photo caption text field. There are "Basic Latin", "Latin Extended A", "Latin Extended B", "Latin Extended Add'l" and other sets available.
Are there some informations on which characters are really necessary or do I need to embed all sets? (There is an option to pick just some characters of them)
I made a page with a dynamic textfield which gets its text from an xml file.The text is italian, so contains characters as. None of these are recognised if I test my page, instead of these letters I see blank spaces. -I tried with embed, include special characters autofill, but that didn't do anything. -I read an article on this site about embedding international characters which says to put System.useCodePage=true; I did so, but got an error message. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
I've created dynamic textfield and textformat, I also embedded the fonts but, special characters(like č,ģ,ļ,ķ,ņ) won't show up, how to embed them? In library I have my specific font with linkage name myFont. Here's the code :
[Code]....
From Flash UI I would go to dynamic text properties -> embed fonts and then manually enter desired special characters. But how to do it with code? Seriously I searched a lot and can't find the answer, surely there must be a way how to do it properly with actionscript.
I'm having some issue with embedding Traditional Chinese characters from the Arial Unicode MS font. I've used the character set described here (0x4E00 - 0x4FFF).[code]...
is there a way to embed certain characters instead of embedded the entire font package which would increase my file size tremendously. I tried creating a textbox and type in the characters I need in hopes that would embed those characters but that didn't work.
How to enable special characters in var txt:TextField = new TextField(); in action script 3.0. var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); tf.font = "Verdana"; tf.size = 12; tf.bold = true; tf.align = "left"; [Code] .....
I embedded the "Verdana" font in ma fla named "Verdana". But my issue is the text filed is not showing the special characters. How can I embed in codes, I don't use the text filed from the component library. Everything was created only through action script 3.0 code.
I have a site with input fields to send message to people. Site will be in 5 different languages. How to embed (or not embed) fonts correctly so every language with its special characters will be displayed correctly?At the moment I don't embed the fonts - letting users system fonts to be used - this way I hope to avoid problems with displaying special characters. It works for some languages but some still don't display special characters
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.
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. Please have a look for me! (attached zip at bottom of post)

I am working with strings that need to retain the details of line returns as they were typed in and also characters such as speech marks (they will contain ascii art). I have looked at using the escape function but this doesn't seem to work--
I am trying to limit then number of characters in a dynamic text box, but its just not working. I am loading the text from an external xml file and thought that this might be the problem, but to be honest it shouldnt be really... I have put this code inside the movie clip:
I just copied Flex builder's generated html from the tags, and pasted in an ASP .NET page, the page shows up no errors , I can see a grey rectable the size of my flex file but there's nothing in it its blank and I am stumped why?? Why when it's showing up perfectly fine via the HTML file that flex generates.[code]
I'm trying to embed this font into a flash website and it works fine on my local machine (because i have the font installed) but not when I see it on other machines. I have 2 files. fonts.swf and main.swf. Here is how it works. Fonts.swf
I've been using the embed tag for a while and it has been working perfectly up until now. I've got an XML file that I have embedded into my .swf, using
and haven't had any problems. However it has just decided that it no longer wants to compile anymore, giving six errors on this line and this line only:
Quote:
Line 32 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Embed. Line 32 1120: Access of undefined property source. Line 32 1120: Access of undefined property mimeType.

I had added a new function just before this error started appearing, but it had absolutely nothing to do with the embedding and the problem still happens after I comment out everything I added before the error.
When I test it in a new .fla it still works aswell, just no longer in this one.
I'm using this method of embedding, detecting and/or providing alternative content for a flash movie, but the movie doesn't play when flash is installed. The two files "swfobject.js" and "heliLog2_small.swf" are in the same folder as the html file.

I have created a website which consists of pages created from flash and dreamweaver (with embedded swf navigation bar at top of webpage)Once the home page is loaded there is a button to visit the page created with DW (with embedded swf nav bar). This works fine if I run the web from my computer locally.But if I write these entire website on a CD and access all the files from CD and then try to open the same html page from the same button in IE9; it does not work. It just keep showing the progress nothing happens. Interestingly, everything works fine on google chrome browser from the CD and also works fine from the other computer with Xp and IE8. But does not work on Windows 7 with IE9 from a CD specifically.
I have also tried to use the option in DW (called "Convert active content") for that page.which added that .js file and script on the html code. even after that does not work.I have also turned on the option "run active content from the cd" internet option for IE9 and "activex filtering" is also off on the security tab of tools of IE9.
