By default, when you visit a website that is made entirely in Flash and there is a Tme and Date movie clip feature... you know... it gets the current time and date of your computer so you're actually seeing your own time, right? What I've always wanted to do is when you visit a website that is made entirely in Falsh, and you have a Time and Date movie clip that tells the creators current time and the current date instead of just getting the values of your computer time and displaying your own. I'm in the Philippines so I want the visitors of my site to view what time and date is it in the Philippines.

I have an mx:DateField in my Flex UI that has a formatString="dd.mm.yyyy" attached to it. However, the initial value for that field may not be in the format specified/defined for the DateField (due to legacy reasons). So, currently, if I just set that value (text) on the DateField, the field is shown empty. I think because it fails to accept the value in a format different than what's configured.

View 3 RepliesI've created a small pixel-font that I want to use in a Flash game. Each letter is 6 pixels tall, and 7 pixels wide. I've saved a PNG file with all the letters from A-Z lined up next to each other. Basically, I'd like to be able to have a system where I point to the PNG file and say "A is position (0,0) to (7,6), B is position (7,0) to (14, 6), etc" then render those individually on the screen as letters in my font.
I was inspired to do this by watching (the creator of Minecraft) Notch do it in a video of him making Megagun. So, has anyone done anything like this before? Is there a simple library that will let me do it already?
Reason why few of the pixel fonts look more sharp when we use device font than embedding the font.
View 3 RepliesIn order to use a pixel font in my textfields, I have created a font class in the Flash IDE. Then, I created a TextField instance with the font embedded with the anti aliasing set to bitmap. I export an SWC with all those things.I created a class with a nice API to be able to deal with this stuff easily.In FDT, I use class and this all works properly.
The issue here is that I now want to use one of these textfields as an input. I tried setting the textfield type to TextFieldType.INPUT, however the only thing that this does is allow me to select the text, I cannot type. I also created another asset with the type already set to input, does not work either.I tried with just the asset, not with my class, and then I can type ok.Is there something that prevents a textfield from being editable once it is part of a sprite? Here is the code of my class with the API:
package net.jansensan.as3fflikeui.text
{

some browser sizes it looks fine but at others because the mc uses the browser window width and heigth/2 to find the middle of the stage.But at some sizes the half of the browser windows becomes an uneven number, which is blurring the pixel fontthe pixel font is in the mcSite mc) How can I solve this?
My code:
Stage.scaleMode = 'noScale';
Stage.align = 'TL';
