Here is a project I'm currently working on:
[URL]
The loading screen in the beginning is supposed to use a special font that I've downloaded. I can see this font on my system when I test the live site online on my system, but when I get on other systems (which don't have the font on their system) it displays a default font, usually Times New Roman or the like.
I'm just wondering if there is a way to embed the font somehow so it uses the font I've chosen for it to use.

I have a full-windowed SWF running in Firefox3.6.Reading stage.stageWidth should follow the size of the browser's window, but that's not the case with Firefox! The minimum stage.stageWidth I get is 925, even if I make the Firefox window much smaller than that.stage. stageHeight seems to work fine though.This is because the (my?) Menu Bar won't go below 925 pixels wide. The problem is solved if I hide the Menu Bar!
This problem only appears on Firefox. Anyone knows if there is a work around? I can't ask users visiting my site to turn their menu bar off in order to see it correctly.

sometimes when i load a webside in firefox, it fails to draw some of the elements that gets drawn early on in the flash file (4 squares and a background square, all movieclips), but other times it works perfectly. And it ONLY happens in firefox, as far as i know. I have tested it in Opera, Safari and Firefox on my mac. The other browsers loads the file perfectly.I use SWFObject, SWFFit and SWFAddress, if that can have any effect.i draw and do everything in AS3, i only have 2 Movieclips in my fla file, which i export to actionscript.

I have a banner in actionscript 2, that posts to a URL, and gets a response back. The http header from that is then used to figure out if the posting was successful. This works like a charm i IE, but in Firefox and Safari, the Flash player shomehow interprets the HTTP header as a 0, no matter what the browser actually gets. My guess is that it's what's described here [URL]...

I have a List, that is not showing any items until you scroll, then the items show up. Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried calling list.invalidateDisplayList(); and list.invalidateList();
EDIT: Here is some code:
<mx:Script>

[Bindable][code]...........
I found that if I add creationComplete="{list.dataProvider = _xmlList }" It solves the problem.

I recently created a flash holiday card which displays perfectly in both Chrome and Safari but will not display in Firefox. I can hear the music playing but can't see any of the images. I've updated to the latest version of Firefox and updated the Adobe Flash Player. I don't have any plugins or extensions installed and have tested this on 3 different computers.

When i first load the page the flash container div is set to display:none, i then apply some jQuery to .fadeIn() and set the div heigth and width size. Fine. But within this div i embed the flash object this way:
<object width="692" height="389">
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
[Code]....
Basically the issue is that I need to use the old flash object only for firefox as otherwise by using the iframe method form vimeo I'd get random black screen for the video, the solution is to use the flash object, only for firefox but for some reasons I don't get the video displayed while i can see the object in the DOM.

Everything was working fine. However, today when I check it, the XML isn't displaying properly in Firefox. Yet it works fine in IE, and was working in Firefox yesterday. Would some of you guys mind checking it in Firefox, and letting me know wether it works ok for you's, and wether its just my installation

I am at a loss as to why Firefox doesn't load right when it's loading from cache.
In my site, there are images that get loaded from an XML file immediately as a visitor enters the site. This loading starts and completes naturally when loading from a server... OR when I have the images loaded into cache and I navigate to the site with the browser's forward or back button. -It doesn't work when I press the browser's reload button. What gives? Is this a Firefox bug? I have Firefox 3.5.2 for Mac.

When I create a TLF text area that is editable at runtime (which means that it can get a user input at runtime) I set the text direction to the 'right-to-left' definition in both the 'container and flow' and the 'paragraph' sections and set the language for Arabic or Hebrew at the 'locale' setting. I also set the text alignment to the 'align to start' mode. Now at runtime there's a stange thing. When I try to click with the mouse cursor on the editable TLF text-box, it's not displaying the text icon cursor and don't allow me to insert text inside.
But when I move my mouse cursor over the right side of the editable TLF text box, it change his appearance to the familiar text cursor which indicate that if you click here you will be able to insert text input inside. So my problem is how can I make it that only when I will hover over the TLF text box itself, the mouse cursor will be changed to text cursor icon and when I will hover beside its right side, it will remain at the normal cursor mode.

I'm working on a Flash presentation, and I have a lot of text pages with buttons and movie clips on. The problem I have is that all subheads are set to size 35pt using Helvetica Neue Heavy, but on a couple of the pages a random subhead is displaying a lot larger than 35pt (I'd say 50pt) but it is definitely set to size 35pt in the Character palette. I have no idea why this is happening and it's driving me mad.

I have this problem with text set to bitmap text rendering. With fonts like pixel fonts like standard 07_51, Kroeger etc. I can't get them to show the right accents. This shows on stage and in runtime and it occurs with static, dynamic fields and input fields. When I choose anti-aliasing then it's ok, but that isn't the purpose with those pixel fonts, right? I've set the correct font-embedding settings.
I checked it on two computers with Flash CS4 v10 on MacOS X 10.6.2, Belgian Keyboard, FontExplorer Pro for font management.

I have a movieclip with static text inside of it. The width (correct one) of the movieclip is 204 px, this is what it even reports after dragging it from library to stage. However, if I export the movie and trace the width of the movieclip, I get 214 px. Inside of the clip is a static text field - it is not wider than the clip and it is not even filled up with text completely. Now if I change it to dynamic text and I export the movie, I get the correct width - 204.

my client reports to me that some of the text is being clipped off in the text fields. I try to recreate the problem on my pc with chrome and firefox, but everything works fine. But he sends me screenshots from his mac with firefox, and sure enough they are being clipped. He claims its only fire-fox, and it is not a factor of window size. so here are the images to show whats going on:

If you have two textareas, one has a rotation value besides 0 and the other has no rotation value or a value of 0 and you 'tab' focus from the one w/rotation to the one w/out. The border around the textArea w/out rotation will be rotated. If you set the rotation value of the non-rotated text field to a non-zero number, even 0.01, it fixes the problem, this causes tons of other problems in text rendering though so its not a solution.
I found setting the focusThickness style to 0 removes the border, which is a good solution but not a great one, anybody got a better one? Here is some sample code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:TextArea id="source" width="100%" fontWeight="bold" fontSize="20" height="50" rotation="5" />
<mx:TextArea id="dest" width="100%" height="50" />
</mx:VBox>

There's a movieclip, lets call it myMovieClip. Inside this movieclip there is a dynamic text box, lets call this one myText. Now to change the text within this text box that is embedded in a movieclip, it's simply:
[Code]....
However, what if there is a variable, called myVariable that stores the instance name of the text box. With only one text box I know it's pointless, but for the sake of example, lets leave it simple. So, suddenly the code looks like:

So, I have some basic actionscript code. It's a legacy site, so I'm using AS2. The line of code simply does this:
myField.text = "some text"
So, I select the text field on the stage, then ensure the font is embedded. All the glyphs I want are checked, but then when I compile and test, the fonts don't show up when the code is executed. Instead, the textfield is blank! What happened?! Where did the text go?
I should mention that the .swf which I compile is loaded into another parent .swf during runtime. If that parent .swf does not contain embedded fonts, is that why it's broken?

I am working in Flash CS5 and I have placed a text field (dynamic, classic text) on the stage. I am accessing it through Actionscript on the same frame like this:
var ct:TextField = TextField(getChildByName("Temperature"));
ct.text = "Hello world";
What ACTUALLY appears is this: So... The H, Ls, and D are gone. Mysteriously. Without warning. I am sitting here utterly confused. Is this just me?
PS. The text field is set to Myriad Pro Bold, a font on my computer, so it isn't like it's a font problem.

This should be basic enough but I'm having trouble troubleshooting it
var instrument:MovieClip=banjo;
instrument_txt.text="The " + String(instrument)+ " has been selected!";
I wanted this to result in dynamic text field displaying
"The banjo has been selected!" but it results in "The [Object MovieClip] has been selected!".
Is String(var) wrong command to use? The only reason I could think why it's not working is, that the variable has been stated as 'MovieClip' instead of Number or Text. What can be done in the case of MovieClip if this is correct?
P.S I'm wondering if there're rules on asking questions on this board... I've asked two for today already and they would be considered pretty 'basic' ones to professionals / experienced users on this board >_<

I'm reading text from a text file and displaying it into a text field. The problem is when i read it doesn't display the text as it is in a text file. For ex - See below imageNow , as you can see, second line in the text file starts right where first line ends.But flash doesn't display it like that. I have hundreds of lines and in most cases flash spaces consumes less space then a text file. The font in both text field in Flash and notpad is to Arial so the font shouldn't be a problem.

I want to parse the data from an XML file into an array and then put each of the values in the array into a dynamic text box on the stage. The text boxes are name "number1_txt", "number2_txt" &c.I have managed to set up a loop to parse the XML into my array and also to generate the names of the text boxes dynamically but I can't get the values from the array to display in the text boxes!
function parseXMLNumbers(doc:XML):Void {
temp = new Array();
for (a=0; a<doc.firstChild.childNodes.length; a++) {
