ActionScript 2.0 :: TextFormat - Customized Font Not Working?
Mar 30, 2008
I'm using a non-window default font (installed on my PC) to show in a text field. This font is also present in my library with appropriate linkage name. Now if i use this font in the TexFormat the font does not show, instead the text is shown in default 'Times' font.But if i use "Arial" as TextFormat font then the textfield's text appear in arial font, although the arial font is not present in the library.
Code:
var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myformat.font = "MyradPro"; //"Arial" works fine.
[code]........

In my movie, I have a dynamic textfield on the timeline starting the first frame and going to the end. At various points during the movie, I change the text in the textfield (and that works just fine), but I also want to change the font-size when I do that. I've tried using setTextFormat to a different TextFormat object, but that doesn't seem to work. Maybe someone has a better idea?

So this only happens with text fields that are set directly on the stage at author time. Not text fields that are dynamically created through code. While yes, creating them through code is an awesome solution sometimes that's not really an option for me.
Code:
import flash.text.*;
// txt is a text field created on the stage with it's font set to "Verdana"

This is a bit of code that lets the user click somewhere and type in some text. Everything in my code works except I can't seem to set the text format. It defaults to Times New Roman. Do I need to embed the fonts or something?
Code:
i = 0;
mcDraw.onPress = function() {
i++

I have a form and everything is components: labels, comboBox button. I have applied a text format to all the elements. I want the user to select a font from the combo box drop down and then all fonts change. However, I can only get this to work when I don't apply any textFormats to my components initially. I know in as2 you had to setNewTextFormat, is it somewhat similar with this setStyle?
Here is my code:
PHP Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
[code]....
I should point out that the font of the comboBox does change because that doesn't have a text format applied to it.

I'm having a problem with a my TextFormat object in the Letter class I've created. Whenever I call a class function that alters the TextFormat object (formatText,sizeText,colorText), the next time that one of these functions is called on a different instance the common formatting is applied. I've read that you need to redefine objects or arrays within the class constructor in order to make them unique to instances. I think I've done here with this code but it is not working:
Code:
//Letter Constructor
function Letter() {

I'm using Flex 4. I'm trying to apply a embedded font in all Alert components of the application, to get the same style that all the app, of course. I code in my CSS file:
[Code]...
The font-family worked to all componentes, but not to the Alert component. In alert the text message and title got unvisible. If I change to other font-family it works correctly, just the embedded font doesn't work on Alert component. Anyone got this problem? Obs: The embedded font worked in all the app, just the Alert no.

I'm trying to embed a font in my project by using url("font.ttf") rather than local("Font Name"), but it doesn't seem to pick it up. The font in question is called "Gotham Bold". When i view the details of the font, the font weight is regular, however when i use local("Gotham Bold") in the css i have to specify fontWeight: bold or else it wont pick it up. But when I use url("folderGotham-Bold.ttf"), and specify fontWeight: bold, it says that font weight is not found for that TTF. If i remove the fontweight, there's no errors, but the font is not applied to the text.

CS4 and CS5 font embedding is different and when creating TextFields dynamically you need to do the code differently in both cases in order to ensure that the font is properly accessed by ActionScript 3.0.Is there any reason why the way that it worked in CS4 still works in CS5 ?

why does font embedding in Flash have to always be so difficult? I'm trying to add a new font for use in htmlText and its not working. I have a dynamic text box on the stage. I have Helvetica Medium, Helvetica Bold and Futura Bk and Futura Bk Bold fonts embedded using the Font Embedding panel. All four of these fonts work fine when I do the following:

I have a function for checking whether the embedded font has all the glyphs available, it looks like this:
public static function hasEmbeddedAllGlyphs(string:String, fontName:String):Boolean {
var availableFonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts();
[Code]....
I am using this call in another static method which sets the text depending on the available font and therefore I cannot split the string.

I have set up a project (in the same way I have numerous projects before) that uses a seperate fonts SWF to provide the fonts to my project. Once loaded I register these fonts to the global font directory using Font.registerFont(). My text styles come from an externally loaded style sheet.
For some reason that I cannot figure out, when I try to create a textField and use my embedded fonts the text disapears from screen. If when creating the textField I set embedFonts to false then the text does appear at the right size and colour (as taken from the stylesheet), but obviously with a default system font where my nice custom font should be.
The code I am using is below:
TTWTextHelper.traceAvailableFonts();
TTWTextHelper.traceStyleSheet(myStyleSheet);
var myText = new TextField;
[code]....
I know that (apparently) my fonts are embeded as when I run TTWTextHelper.traceAvailableFonts() i get the two fonts listed.
public static function traceAvailableFonts():void
{
/*
* See what fonts we have to play with

I have embedded a Font in my flex app. That works on any components without problems.
@font-face {
src:url("../assets/fonts/wedtxtn.ttf");
fontFamily: "CSSFont";
cff: true;
}
However, when I try to apply the font to my TextFlow object, it is not working. However, it does work when I use the FTE and do it my self. I debugged through the TLF and the looks like the correct FontDescription is created.
Here is the code I use to create text (Full Source @ Pastbin)
var element:SpriteVisualElement = new SpriteVisualElement;
element.verticalCenter = 0;
element.horizontalCenter = 0;
// Create Text using TLF
var span:SpanElement = new SpanElement();

I am using sifr 2.0.7 and here's the deal. The sifr is working (I can see it in the DOM) however, the font is wrong.It doesn't pick up my swf font (DIN) unless you have it installed on your computer?The css font style is: HelveticaNeue which is what the sifr seems to render if you don't have DIN installed.I see it on my computer but my friend see DIN.

Using:
-Adobe Flash IDE (CS3)
-AS3
First off let me say I did try creating an extra text field off of the main stage set to Bold, and it's Verdana so I'm not exactly "selecting" a second font file all together to be embedded. Instead I am just setting the textfield property Bold to ON.
SO FAR I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but it does not want to go Bold. Aside from using Flex, which I know nothing about.

I had the core of my site down for me, I believe in Flash 8 using AS2. I took over the site and attempted to learn everything that they did, so I could update it myself. The one thing that I can't figure out... is where they put the customized scrollbars they made for my site. There are some scrollPane components in the library, but I can't see where he put the custom scrollbars. The homepage link is here:The blue scrollbars are what I'm trying to find. When I add more content I want to be able to use the same scrollbars. If you need the FLA, I'll send it to you. I am pretty sure there is some default location that they're stored in though, and I'm just not seeing it

1. insert date values and then run a contdown ticker
2. next time user opens swf the value of the ticker should have been adjusted to the date values user inserted first time.
3. New input values should be remembered and old values ignored.
4. no external files wished, flush or shared obj.
