I know fonts and flash are always an issue
How am I supposed to add fonts to a textfield that loads the info dynamically trough XML say I want to be able to have Arial, Verdana and Tahoma in both bold and Italic
Having a bit of trouble getting embedded fonts to work. The inconsistency with this is driving me crazy. I've gotten this to work before but not since going to cs5.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash CS5 , Actionscript 3.0 and export fo Flash Plaer 10.
I create a class, myHtmlText.as, that builds a basic TextField. I create an empty file myHtmlText.fla I embedded two fonts inside the myHtmlText.fla: "Ghotam Light" and "Ghotam Book"; I selected all characters for each font and exported for actionscript with the following linkage name: "GhotamBook" and "GhotamLight"
I wish to use the fonts embedded, in the TextField using htmlText, like this:
var tf:TextField = createTextField(10, 10, 400, 22); tf.htmlText = '<p><font face="GhotamBook">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</font></p>';
//tf.embedFonts = true;
[Code]....
but it does not work; the text is not displayed; If I use .text instead fo .htmlText, the latin text is displayed with a system font.
Presume there is a textField with fonts embedded using Flash (CS4) IDE's "Character Embedding" option of the textField property panel.How these embedded characters are stored actually?Is the embedded fontset accessible beyond this single textFiled and how?Is there any way to clone such a textFiled in runtime having a new dynamic textFiled object with all embedded characters included?
View 9 Repliesis there any way to smoothen or make a dynamic textfield look better without embedding fonts? I've tried writing the textfield into a bitmap but haven't been successful with that yet, is there any other better approach?
View 1 RepliesI have created a dynamic text box, made itscrollable and added a scroll bar. I have entered my text and now want to set off a quote from the person making the statement so I want to make the person's name italics. However, when I highlight the text (it is on a separate line) and click italics - all of the text turn to italics. Is there a way just to have one line in a different font?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to embed fonts at runtime in actionscript and it somewhat works. I can embed fonts by either using the embed tag or by loading a font library asset with a linkage name and use it with a new TextField. However, a textfield that exists on a movie clip already does not have the embedded font and is missing characters.
A quick example in code (textInstance exists on the movieclip):
var embeddedFonts = Font.enumerateFonts(); //Shows embedded font
var textFormat:TextFormat = textInstance.getTextFormat();
textInstance.text = "Don't be lazy"; //missing characters

I want to embed the font at runtime and I'm loading multiple SWFs and I don't want to embed the font in each SWF.
I am really at a lose end with this - I have a flash file called in xml into a dynamic textfield. It works fine with English but when I try and put Greek into the xml the flash file then doesn't show the font. The font is verdana - which can be translated and I have embedded the font, with greek and made sure my xml is unicode-8 - but it still shows nothing.

I have a couple questions about dynamic text fields. Is it possible to embed multiple fonts? Are color and font size dynamic? Is there a way to make scalable text? Is there a way to make a the contents of a dynamic text field a link to whatever URL might be typed into it?
View 4 RepliesI have multiple mc's that contain input textfields. I want the results of these to appear one after another in the same dynamic textfield. Later they will be sorted alphabetically.
So far, I've been able only to get one item to appear at a time in the dynamic textfield--the next item replaces the first. A for loop didn't work.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the new text string to be added to the previous text string rather than to replace the first text string?
Anything at all similar I've seen creates a shared object instead of writing multiple strings to one dynamic text field.

I was wondering if I can point to a variable of a .txt file.My .txt file has four variables:&main= text here&&title = title here&&main2= text2 here&&title2 = title2 here&I load the first Variable on my dynamic textfield successfully.What I want to do now is, to display the second variable on the same dynamic textfield when button "next" is clicked.ctually I am using this code: (where "main" is the first text variable and "title" the second one).
Code:
var myLoadVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars;
myLoadVars.load("mytext.txt");

I have a Bubble with a dynamic Text Field in the middle of it. I create multiple of these and have them float up. If you click it, I want the bubble to pop. Everything works, but only if you click the bubble at the edges. If you click in the middle, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I'm wondering if there's a way to have a text and use 2 different embed fonts.Basically, i have a text from a xml file and one textfield that I want to scroll but I want to use a different font for the title.I tried something like:

var contentMessage:String = "<font face='myFont' >"+titleArray[0]+"</font><br>"+contentArray[0]; contentTxt.htmlText = contentMessage;

View 3 RepliesWhen I test my Actionscript 3 flash program on my computer, there's nothing wrong. But when I transfer it to my iPhone and I click on the text I want to edit, I can edit it, but the characters grow bigger than they actually are while editing. When I stop editing, the font gets back to the original size. How can I keep the font from growing when I edit it?

View 4 RepliesI'm working on font embedding in Flash (flas are compiled using CS5 made previously in CS3). The project is split into a number of separate flas, and I'm having trouble with one particular one. I'm dynamically embedding the fonts using a class I wrote that sits on top of the stage listening for Event.ADDED then searching for textfields that have dynamic text and embedding the font needed dynamically (No efficiency requirements here. I have a check so that I don't bother processing textfields that are already embedded. No textfields in any of the flas (to my knowledge) have fonts embedded.
But some textfields are saying that they are, as in
textfield.embedFonts == true.
In the fla global font embedding, that no fonts are embedded. If I click on the actual textfields embed button, I see that the font of the textfield is in the font list, but no character ranges are embedded. This is leaving me confused, as I want absolutely no fonts embedded in any flas. But the font for the individual textfield is always in the font embed list, no matter how many times I remove it. If I click on the embed button for the textfield to check it there is no embedding then the font is added to the list without any character ranges.
I have an HTML string that uses bold and italic tags which I need to apply to a TextField. I need the font to be embedded though and I can't seem to find a way to do this. From what I've read it seems that Flash needs to use the actual bold/italic versions of the font rather than just changing it with HTML? In which case I can't do it all in one textfield because you can't change font? The only solution I found was a suggestion to use the [Embed()] method rather than the method I am using (embedding the font in a library symbol) but I don't think you can do that either with Flash CS3?

Here is my issue : I have a dynamic html text field, to which i passed html text / textformat such as : <P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Trebuchet MS" SIZE="14" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Some text<B>some bold text</B><I><U>and some italic underline</U></I></FONT></P>My problem is, i can't use embedfonts because if i do, and use Trebuchet MS for instance, the bold tag will never render as in flash you have to select if the font your embed is bold or not. I'm trying to avoid to convert the whole htmltext/textformat thing to a CSS one..

View 0 RepliesI am making a Flash movie where a user can change the font of a text field(AS3), and due to the embedded fonts functionality even fonts that ar not on the users computer can be selected.The problem is that I can embed only one font per text field. This should be no issue because they are embedded in the example text and are included in the library. But this does not work!It does not matter whether I use the font name or the name of the font in the library with trailing '*', it simply shows _serifThis problem drives me cray because it disables the main feature of the application.
