AS3 :: Flash - Use External Font Swf To Change Font Of A Dynamic Text Field?
Oct 5, 2010I am working on a as3 project in which the user select a font from Combo Box and that font SWF should be loaded Dynamically and then i need to change the font of the Dynamic text field.
I have swf font files downloaded from [URL]
My question is that how can i load the font swf dynamically from server and add them to the library and how can i use that swf to change the font of dynamic text field.
if there are embedded fonts in library the i can access them using this- --
var fontList:Array = Font.enumerateFonts();
for( var i:int=0; i<fontList.length; i++ )
{
trace( "font: " + fontList[ i ].fontName );
}
But How to use dynamically loaded Font swf as a font type.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Field Font Change?
Nov 9, 2006i need a little help. I need to know how to set a dynamic fields' font (and other properties) with actionScript.I thought it could be something like:
Code:
myDynamicTextField.font = "Comic Sans MS";
or at a long shot:
Code:
myDynamicTextField.setStyle("fontFamily", "Comic Sans MS");
(The second one only seems to work with "TextArea" components from the Components menu)

Professional :: Text Jumps After Embedding Font In Dynamic Text Field?
Jun 10, 2010Im using a standard font (Gotham rounded) within a dynamic text field. As soon as I embed the numerals within this text field the text lowers within the text field.Double clicking the field then renders the text higher up! It seems that the height it shows when I double click is the height it compiles atThe other strange and annoying thing is that my colleague working on the same project is using the exact same font and same file but this doesnt happen to him and so the font redners out differently when he compiles
View 1 RepliesProfessional :: Dynamic Text Field Not Displaying Text Even When Font Is Embedded?
Jan 16, 2011So, I have some basic actionscript code. It's a legacy site, so I'm using AS2. The line of code simply does this:
myField.text = "some text"
So, I select the text field on the stage, then ensure the font is embedded. All the glyphs I want are checked, but then when I compile and test, the fonts don't show up when the code is executed. Instead, the textfield is blank! What happened?! Where did the text go?
I should mention that the .swf which I compile is loaded into another parent .swf during runtime. If that parent .swf does not contain embedded fonts, is that why it's broken?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Embedding Font - Put A Dynamic Text Field There - Named TextBox
May 20, 20101) Create a New Flash File (AS 3.0)
2) Put a dynamic text field there, named textBox
3) The font is Trebuchet MS - BOLD. (example... can be any bold font)
4) Using "Character Embedding", I've embedded numerals, for example.
5) In first frame, I put the code: textBox.text = "1";
6) If I compile at this point, the "1" will appear.
7) BUT.... if I put a static text box with anything typed, using Trebuchet MS - REGULAR, and compile the FLA again, the number 1 WON'T appear!
ActionScript 2.0 :: Html-formatting Of Dynamic Text Field With Embedded Font?
Sep 19, 2006If you're creating a htmlText field via the createTextField method, is there a way to get html formatting like <b></b> to show up if you are also embedding a font? I'm guessing not, since you can only embed a single font in a TextFormat, and you would have to embed both italic and bold variants too to make it work. Is this true?Maybe I'm better off creating a generic text field on the stage with both bold and italics embedded, and use the attachMovie method instead?This is my code:
ActionScript Code:
myformat = new TextFormat();
myformat.font = "Akzidenz_Grotesk_BE_Light";

Flash :: AS3 Embedded Font In Linked SWC / Source Blanks Out When Setting Dynamic Text Field
Jul 15, 2010I've got a number of related projects set up in Flash Builder. Each project gets its graphical assets from an exported SWC file (or multiple SWC files.) This works fine, but I wanted to create a shared project that contains stuff used across all projects. The first item in there is a screen with a number of clips containing dynamic text fields on them. This screen (and associated assets) are exported to a SWC and then I have written code in the shared project to add functionality to the screen and buttons. I'm using 2 fonts, both are embedded.
Both show up just fine in my test harness, but when I link the shared SWC and src folder (which is required in order to use this code/assets in the other projects) the textfields blank out if I try to set their text properties. If I leave the default text (set in the FLA) it shows up, and the static text fields in the FLA also show up, it's only when I set the text property.
I've tried a number of combinations, including removing embedding, exporting for ActionScript, setting all textfields in the shared project to dynamic, all with no luck. The main project does have the same font embedded, and I've checked that the same glyphs are selected in both the main and shared projects. I realize this is a rather complicated setup, but I have yet to find a workflow to allow a designer and developer to work on large projects that is better (but I'd love to hear one!)

Professional :: Dynamic Text - Change Font Properties?
Sep 1, 2010I am loading a small scrolling text box dynamically from a .txt doc in the same folder, but I can't find anything about changing the font properties. No matter what changes I make to the code, the font stays size 12, times new roman, black. I want to change all three of these properties, but most of the related forum posts I have found are about changing the font for a given sentence, manually input into the AS. I need flash to list all font in the text file as Arial, 13, and white in color.This is being set up so members of managment can update news without needing flash to do so, so they obviously can't type everything into the AS.
Here is the code I'm using:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myTextField_txt:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField_txt.wordWrap=true;
myTextField_txt.width=200;
var style:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
style.size = "12";
style.color = "0xFFFFFF";
style.font = "Arial";
I have created a new font in the library with the settings required, and named it Arial, but this was still unsuccessful.
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {myTextField_txt.text = e.target.data;addChild(myTextField_txt);}
myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("myText.txt"));
