ActionScript 2.0 :: Embedding A Font ONCE For Multiple Movies?

Oct 10, 2007

the flash movies I am working on contain many dynamic text boxes. I need to embed the fonts in each movies (about 15) in order to have characters, caps, punctuation and accents.

Right now, the flash files are only 5-10kb, but when I embed the font, they become 50-60kb. I know this is normal. However, I would like to be able export the font only once, and have it attached to all movies.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Embedding Multiple Members Of A Font-family

Apr 18, 2007

In Flex/AS3 font embedding has been totally revamped. You have to use the Embed tag. Simple embedding of a single font isn't a problem but when I try to embed multiple members of a font family, I get into trouble. I want to embed Helvetica and Helvetica Bold in one of my projects. Embedding Helvetica isn't a problem but I can't get the bold to work. If I just embed the bold font I get this error:

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, 2011

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.

Professional :: Font Embedding Or Change The Font When Need Subscripts And Superscripts

Oct 4, 2010

I need to present chemical formulas with subscripts and superscripts in a dynamic text box. To do this, I've downloaded and embedded the GG Subscript and GG Superscript fonts, created a dynamic text box with Arial as the font, and added ActionScript code to change the font when I need subscripts and superscripts. the following is a simplified version of my code.

[Code].....

I get a compiler error 1119 Access of possibly undefined property html through a reference with static flash.text:TextField. The text box is a dynamic text box, not static, so I'm puzzled.I don't get this error with the GG Subscript code above.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Embedding Font In CS3

Nov 13, 2008

I 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, 2011

I'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..

ActionScript 3.0 :: CS5 : Font Embedding Working Like CS4?

Jun 1, 2011

CS4 and CS5 font embedding is different and when creating TextFields dynamically you need to do the code differently in both cases in order to ensure that the font is properly accessed by ActionScript 3.0.Is there any reason why the way that it worked in CS4 still works in CS5 ?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Font Embedding Bug

Feb 3, 2010

Is 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 16, 2011

I'm a typical embedder. I just embed the fonts, register them from another file and be done with it. Though I'm starting to desire to embed some ranges and also use test loading external .ttf files.
 
What is the best practice for embedding an external TTF at runtime? Is it still basically like this? Anything more modern? I find most blog posts on the subject range in the 2007 area.

Flex :: Possible To Automate Font Embedding

Aug 5, 2010

I'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.

Actionscript 3 :: Font Embedding Does Not Work Or?

Sep 1, 2010

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading (not Embedding) A Font?

Jan 18, 2009

I 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.

In "Main" class we have "Arial" font embedded like this:

Code:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Font Embedding With Cyrillic Only?

Jul 5, 2011

I 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.

Embedding Font In Flash Movie On Site?

Nov 13, 2009

I've searched the web and tried a number of different approaches to embed a font in my Flash movie but each has ended in frustration. I have created several buttons with dynamic text fields that use the font I need. I have added the font to my library, given it a unique name, exported for actionscript and then used the unique name when selecting the font in my dynamic text fields. I am probably not using the right AS code to embed and use the font. What's the easiest way to embed the font? I am also using the same embedded font in a around 5 flash movies on the site.

Professional :: Disable Automatic Font Embedding In CS5?

May 28, 2010

I installed CS5 and opened an old .fla which did not embed the Arial font because everyone has it already. Mostly it is used for user-entered and dynamic content.However, CS5 is auto-embedding the few characters I use in Arial, and all of the other characters are no longer showing up in the swf file.The only fix seems to be embedding the entire Arial font in the movie, which is too large since I want to be able to support all kinds of characters.Is there a way to turn off auto-font embedding?This feature seems well-intentioned but critically flawed if it can't be turned off.
