View 1 RepliesI am using Helvetica Neue 43 Light and it looks great as Dynamic Text without embedding the fonts. It is nice and bright, sharp edging, etc.
I notice though, that on other computers, the Helvetica Neue font is displayed as Times. I am presuming because these other computers do not have Helvetica Neue installed on their computer system.
If I embed the fonts, it looks the same as static text or text that I have broken apart. The fonts are thicker and has blurry edges.
Is there any way of getting around this and have my Helvetica Neue looking sharp and crispy like dynamic text without embedding the fonts.

ing my hands in web designing and development. I have basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, Java Script but have never used Dreamweaver/ Flash or any such software. I am looking for some guidance from your side on this. Please let me know -

2.) Please let me know some good tutorials that can help me in learning the things quickly.
3.) What are the other products I need for designing. Just wanted to let you know that I am going to try my hands in professional development.

View 1 RepliesAm currently working on a tool created by a colleague of mine and would like to improve performance. Basically, it's a tool for drawing on screen and uses a combination of Sprites and the Graphics class to draw a line segment every time the mouse is moved when the mouse button is down. Here is the drawing bit:
// on MouseMove
protected function drawLine(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (currentTool.thickness > 0){
//pen
var line:Sprite = new Sprite();
line.graphics.lineStyle(currentTool.thickness, currentColour);
[Code] .....
As you can see, it checks if the line 'thickness' property and draws if it is and erases if it isn't. I did think of using a technique similar to blotting here where it'd draw to a bitmap but I'm not sure this'd give the performance boost I want or if, indeed, there would be any way to have an eraser function. The drawing itself works nicely - this isn't the problem, it's the performance of the subsequent 'drawn' sprites.
I've put text in TextField, set Z coordinate to enable 3D, and placed object close to the screen plane. Text quality is very bad. Is there any way to force Flash draw proper vector text? Fonts are embedded, so it's not a problem.

View 2 RepliesI have been seeking for months to try to put my flash animations in myspace blog but I haven't succeeded in doing that. I have tried to put the code source of the html document but it doesn't work . When I saw the animations pre-maded in websites for myspace , it's exactly the same code as I have saw in the code source of my html page. Why it doesn't work? I have tried to convert to anothers format, to put them in youtube , but it wasn't very good.
I have tried a files hosting where I put swf files format and I put the links , but myspace doesn't accept this kind of links , they say that it brings spams. I have just think about it and I haven't done it yet. If I convert swf files into flv files and I put the correct video code , Will it works? I read that myspace doesn't accept the flash animations but it's not true because there are a lot of flash animations to put in that.

I've noticed that a number of Flash sites have urls such as [URL] which gives the ability to return to a specific area (in this case "services") of the site rather than staying on the homepage each time you go back to the page. As you navigate through the site the url changes to reflect where you are in the swf.

View 1 RepliesI have designed a Flash animation for a client who has asked me to also provide it in a format which can be used in a film he wants to produce in Apple Final Cut Pro. I assumed the best format would be QuickTime but whenever I export the Flash file in to QuickTime the quality of the film is awful - the graphics leave fragments of themselves behind as they move (if that makes sense?!) and the overall quality isn't very crisp.

I know when I create a Flash file I can utilize ActionScript to link buttons created in the .swf video file. Can I do the same with HTML 5? I would like to change one of my swf files over to HTML 5 to experiment with the new code. I heard Flash was going to offer this feature in CS5.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to build a website that looks the same (or at least very similar) even with different resolutions. I know it's a pretty simple thing to do with Adobe Flash, but I'm kinda trying to get into the whole "HTML5 scene" so I thought I could try building it without using flash at all. I know I can resize the canvas to fit the window of the browser it's being viewed in, but can I also resize images, text and other HTML structures that I place inside the canvas? Like s, s, s or images?

Is it neccesary to know HTML todesign complete flash based websites ?Ofcourse i know simple things like the index.html and adjusting borders etc within the html code. But i dont know exclusively how to make HTML standalone pages. Im basically a video edit guy and dont have much time to spend on learning HTML webdesigning.I propose to further study and polish my skills only in flash and stick to that area of specialization, ie.designing websites purely based on Flash. Is this OK. Are there designers like this who only specialize in flash websites without venturing into HTML ?
