ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading External Fonts From SWF?

Apr 30, 2010

In AS2, if I have a swf file that I have added a font to the library how do I load that swf file into my main swf on runtime and utilize that font? I figured it would be use loadmovie, but not sure after that.

I really don't want to load the fonts directly in the library of the main swf if I don't have to, because I have 12 fonts to load. So, I will be passing the main swf file a variable that will tell it which font file to load.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Fonts Via Embed?

May 3, 2011

I typically embed the fonts in a library and use it this way but sometimes this gives me issues. I'm using Flash Pro CS5 and I'm trying the Embed method. I've seen many blogs/posts (here, here, here, here, etc in order of which my problems arose) but none of them are working for me. I'm getting the transcode error issue.
 
Can anyone shed more light on what the Error: Unable to transcode 'some/path/to/a.ttf' transcoding error is? Im sure the path is right, I've tried embedding with and without various options like mimeType, I can't get it to embed the font, or any font for that matter. Tips on embedding a font? My code would typically look like this:
 
[Embed(source="dat/SomeFont.ttf",  fontFamily="SomeFont", mimeType="application/x-font")] var SomeFontClass:Class; var SomeFont:Font = SomeFontClass();

Actionscript 3 :: Loading Fonts From External SWF - Some Work, Some Do Not

Dec 16, 2011

I have saved a dozen Fonts into separate swf files (embedded in the library of their respective .fla files). I am loading up to four of them and whilst most of them work, the script silently fails for Arial and Times New Roman. These fonts have been embedded and compiled the same as the others, and when I trace the available fonts I get an object saying that the required font has been loaded ([Object { fontName="Arial", fontStyle="regular", fontType="embedded"}]), however the text is not being rendered. If I change which font to use then the text is rendered using the correct font and performs as expected. It is only with these two fonts that I have a problem with.Is there a common problem with embedding these two fonts or is it possible I have changed a setting somewhere?

Flash :: Loading CFF Embedded Fonts In An External SWF At Runtime?

Nov 29, 2010

We have a large flash site which is translated into 11 languages. We have a font loading system whereby all the characters required to display the site in each language are embedded in external swfs (so 11 swfs).recent update to the site requires us to use the Text Layout Framework (TLF) for one area of text display, which of course only supports fonts embedded in the new CFF format. I've attempted to embed a second instance of the font using the tag embedAsCFF="true", and after loading in the font SWF I can see this font is correctly registered as it shows up in the array returned by Font.enumerateFonts.The TextFlow instance I am using has the following properties set:

textFlow.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
textFlow.renderingMode = RenderingMode.CFF;
textFlow.fontFamily = "HeadingFontCFF";

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Loading Fonts?

Aug 25, 2010

I know this question comes up often, but I have been through the forum several times and I am now confused as to which approach I should take. Hopefully someone can guide me as I am new to AC3.I have a Flash file with a dynamic text object.I have some existing AS3 which loads in text content from an XML file, and drops this into the dynamic text object. This all works fine.What I would like to do is be able to specify a font name in the XML and hence change the font used in the Dynamic text field.Later I would like to explore the option of dynamically loading in the fonts as and when needed, but for now I have embedded two fonts in the Flash file.I have tried the code below, which just manually changes the font (not from the XML yet), but this just doesn't seem to work? Have I missed something?

import flash.events.Event;
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import flash.text.Font;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Fonts At Runtime

Jul 30, 2009

Posting this is my last resort�I've spent the entire afternoon trying to figure this out. I'm to load a font at runtime using some updated code found here. The problem is no matter what I try I always get the following error:

TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter font must be non-null.
at flash.text::Font$/registerFont()
at cardmaker::FontLoader/fontLoaded()

which is saying that "FontLibrary._Bradley" is null in registerFont(); I know the swf exists on the server and the font symbol is being Exported for ActionScript with a class name and symbol name of both "_Bradley".

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Fonts Dynamically?

Sep 16, 2010

As part of the subtitle work I'm doing on our player, I've built a little system that lets people load fonts during runtime in order to keep the player file size down as much as possible.It's been working great locally, but for some reason it is failing on a remote server.I *think* the problem may be related to the ApplicationDomain, but I'm not so sure.I'm thinking this because I have a wrapper .swf which loads the player .swf into a separate application domain (to resolve an issue with shared classes between the two swfs). When I'm running locally, I'm testing the player in the IDE without the wrapper (so it's all one domain), but remotely it needs the wrapper (separate domains).Here's the code that loads the font(s), in the player .swf:

Code:
// settings.basepath_fonts and font.font_url are determined prior
var fontLoader:Loader = new Loader();

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Fonts Dynamically From Swf?

Nov 10, 2010

I am currently struggling big time with whole process of dynamic font loading. I created several swf's. Each swf has its own font type with different styles. I have 3 swfs:1. arial: 4 fontclasses, regular, bold, italic, boldItalic2. verdana: 3 fontclasses, regular, bold, italic3. tahoma: 2 fontclasses, regular, boldIn the first frame I have "Font.registerFont(classname);" for all available font classes and I also have a dynamic textfield on the stage for each class with the specific font selected.So I am loading these swf's in my main project. For the Tahoma swf all works well, I can switch between "regular" and "bold". For Arial however only "regular" works well. When choosing the bold version the textfield gooes all blank and italic appears as regular. I doubled check the properties of the font classes of Arial, they all seems ok.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Embedding And Using External Fonts

Dec 16, 2010

I'm using Flash CS4. I'm trying to load and embed an external font. The main problem I'm having is that I need to import more than just latin 1. I need many special characters imported as well. Because of this, using Flash CS4's create new font from the library is not an option. I'm using Verdana, so I know the font has all the characters I need. So what I need to do is create an external swf that holds the font. Then I need to import and use the font. Unfortunately, I've found way too many ways online that work but don't fit my needs.

Flash :: Conflict Between Fonts In Swc And External Swf?

Apr 25, 2011

I have an actionscript 3 based website that is loading font outlines dyncamically, from external font swfs, using a common technique.

...
var FontLibrary:Class = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("font") as Class;
Font.registerFont(FontLibrary.fontClass);

Everything works fine until I attach assets from an swc containing text with the same font.At which point only the outlines from the swc are used. So for exampe, if the swc has a dyncamic TextField, containing the letters "abc" then only those letters will display in the website and not the entire alphabets that where previously loaded dyncamically from the font swf.

Flex :: Loading Embedded Fonts From Modules?

Nov 28, 2009

As some of these languages have very big font sizes (e.g. Chinese), I do not want to load all these fonts into the app. at once but was thinking to put them into different modules and then load only the specific module (depending on which language is chosen in the main app). For this I moved the style part from the main app:

<mx:Style>
@font-face
{
font-family:DedicatedFont;

[Code]....

into the different modules. Above one is e.g. for the Chinese font (cma.ttf).

The modules are created and I can also use the fontstyle (DedicatedFont) in the module itself, but I can not access it from my main application.

Professional :: Embedding And Using External Fonts In Flash CS5?

Jan 7, 2011

I just upgraded to Flash CS5.  Font embedding is entirely different than it was in CS4.  I've been looking for examples online but none seem to show me a solution that matches what I need.
 
In the project I'm working on, code changes the font a text box uses based on region and language.  To keep file size down I created separate swf files with the fonts embedded.  That way I only download the font I need.  The way I did this and the code I used in CS4 doesn't seem to work anymore.

Actionscript 3 :: Loading Swf-fonts With Loader Works Perfectly In SDK 3.5 - Not In SDK 4

Jul 12, 2011

For a large project I have the following setup:

a content editor made with Flex SDK 3.5
a content viewer made with Flex SDK 4.1

Both need to work with dynamically loaded fonts as the user can use the fonts he wants.

So we used this approach:

convert the font files with Flash Professional to SWF-files (Creating a Font SWF)
editor: load the fonts with Loader (Loading a SWF font) the fonts can then be perfectly used within the application to generate htmlText viewer: the same approach to load the fonts + register them with Font.registerFont (Flex 4 Embed font from swf)

Now the problems: although the loaded fonts are listed when you trace Font.enumerateFonts(false), they are not used in the textarea. There the text is shown with the default font.

Maybe the problem is the fonts are loaded as embedAsCFF for the Text Layout Framework, and that way are not usable in an mx.controls.TextArea? But as I can not change that to a spark TextArea for multiple reasons, I need a solution to use the loaded fonts in that mx.controls.TextArea.

Flash :: Runtime Fonts Not Playing Nice With Fonts Embedded In Static Text?

Jul 11, 2010

I save my (embedded) fonts in an external file (fonts.swf) that gets loaded at runtime. Pretty standard. I also use a bunch of UI artwork generated in the Flash IDE. Some of this artwork contains static textfields (thus, not proper TextFields that can change. Just frozen glyphs). Here's the problem: if I use the same font in any static textfield and then embed that same font into my collection of runtime fonts, the runtime font will refuse to render. It's the same effect you get if you set a textfield with embeddedFonts=true to use a font that isn't embedded. If I change the static textfields to use a different font, the runtime fonts work just fine.

Flash Detect Missing Embedded Fonts And/or Replace With Available Fonts?

Dec 22, 2010

Edited Short Version:The Adobe Flash docs list a property embedFonts on TextAreas:

A Boolean value that indicates whether the font specified in fontFamily is an embedded font. This style must be set to true if fontFamily refers to an embedded font. Otherwise, the embedded font is not used. If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed. The default value is false. Regarding the "If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed" statement: How can I detect in ActionScript when this scenario happens?

TL;DR Original Version: I have a flash application which loads external .swf files containing embedded fonts, so that these fonts can be used within the main application. We're accomplishing this by using the following ActionScript code on anything which uses custom fonts:
