I am having problem with displaying pixel font right in animation, check: [URL] Font is embed in dynamic text field. If it's 'antialiased for animation' then font is blurry and if it's 'Bitmap text (no anti-alias)' then animation is not smooth.
View 4 RepliesI recently started using FF_Hero on a project but I noticed that the bottom 3 pixels are not displaying effecting g,y,q. It has nothing to do with the text box size. Non pixel fonts work fine...is there a work around?
View 3 RepliesI've made a preloader that shows the percentage that is loaded with a pixel font. It is dynamic, can people without this font on their computer see it? If not, how can I create this preloader so everyone even without that font can see it?
View 2 RepliesI need to measure some text before I place it down in my scene programmatically. Is there something like a measureString(s:String, f:Font) function? If so, can someone give me some hints of where it is?
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?
I am using Flash MX 2004 and would like to display the system date/time. The problem I am encountering is when trying to use a pixel font to display it with. Is this possible??? Or can you use only standard (safe) font's i.e. Arial, sans-serif etc.
View 1 RepliesReason 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
{

I have some dynamic text with a background box that needs to widen to match the width of the text, this is how I am doing it at the moment, by multiplying by the average pixel width of arial. However it doesnt seem to be that accurate
Code:
_root.caption1.textbg._width = _root.caption1.words.length*7.5
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';

View 1 RepliesI have a fairly decent grasp of flash, but not so much of the action script side of things. I need to make a banner similar to the one featured here:[URL]..
As you can see, the image is jerky and juddery when it scales down. From what I can find out, I think I need to use the pixel snapping feature to help make it a smoother fade, but I haven't got a clue how to write the actionscript for it, or where to put the actionscript. Can anyone give me any pointers?
I have a PC fiash file with static body text that is New Gothic font. The published swf looks great on the PC, though when testing on Mac, none of the text appears. I thought that with static text fields, the font is automatically embedded?
how I can get the font to display properly on a Mac?
Then here is the code I'm using to create a new textbox and display text in the embedded font:
var myFont:Font = new Font1();
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();myFormat.font = myFont.fontName;myFormat.size = 24;myFormat.bold = true;

Does any one know how (by using AS3), I can choose to embed certain glyphs? When I use the embedFonts = true, it doesn't seem to be including en dashes (-) or em dashes (-), only hyphens!
View 1 RepliesI have a list of fonts obtained via Font.enumerateFonts() and I want to display them all as 12 pixels tall. The problem is that I cannot simply set the point size because this can vary in actual pixel size for each font. So basically I want to determine what the correct point size is for a font in order to make it exactly 12 pixels tall. Because I'm doing this with a potentially large list I'm looking for an efficient method to do this.
View 1 RepliesI was coding an AS3 file and it worked great until I started writing a class to extend the textfield class. After that, every time I tested my movie, the text field is created but nothing showed up. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that the text was actually in the text field, but was outside of the bounds of the text field and the field's height cannot be resized through code or with multiple lines of text. I found this out because I could copy the text and paste it into a text editor (and no, the text isn't set to white). Everything works properly with dynamic text fields created on the stage, just not when created in actionscript. I have tried embedding a font and using the default with no luck. The code even works on a different machine!! The same problem occurs in AS2. I have tried dumping the class file I created, reinstalling Flash, the Flash Player, and even uninstalling my font management program and still nothing.

I created a swf in flash which contains a font I want to use in conjunction with a stylesheet in a separate swf. The stylesheet and font work fine in another text field which has been placed statically on the stage. However, when I try to dynamically place a text field on the stage, it doesn't work. The only thing that displays is the text with a span of class .gbold.
Here's my code:
function vidLoaded (e:LoaderEvent){
var vidText:TextField = new TextField();
vidText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
vidText.x = textX;
vidText.y = textY;

the embed fonts stuff in flash, it sometimes works and then again it does not. my problem I need to embed a greek font to be used with the List Component. what I did so far:
1. library-> new Font ( Named it myFont, exported it as:MyFont )
2. put a list comp on stage called it myList
3. got a xml file called index.xml encoded in UTF-8 (so it displays greek chars) that gets loaded (makes no diff if you use component inspector to insert the labels)
4. set system.codepage to false;
Code: Select allmyList.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
myList.setStyle("fontSize", 13);
myList.setStyle("fontFamily" , "MyFont");
what it does not work. I am at a loss as to how to get this to work. I am attaching the file and the font used. (verdana arial should work too, but even they don't embed)
Mabe it has something to do with the xml encoding, but if you try to just copy the greek characters into the component inspectors lable field they are still not displayed. So I guess xml encoding is not the problem.
Here is a project I'm currently working on:

The loading screen in the beginning is supposed to use a special font that I've downloaded. I can see this font on my system when I test the live site online on my system, but when I get on other systems (which don't have the font on their system) it displays a default font, usually Times New Roman or the like.
I'm just wondering if there is a way to embed the font somehow so it uses the font I've chosen for it to use.
I'm on a mac using CS5/AS3 and I'm having trouble getting the ® symbol to display in a dynamic textfield embedded with a Chinese font (Hei - but others fail as well). I can type the ® symbol into the textfield in the authoring tool, the problem occurs when dynamically populating the textfield via XML at runtime. I have tried multiple Chinese fonts, multiple encoding types in the XML (unicode, html, etc) and all characters are embedded properly as far as I can tell. I'm not having font trouble in general, all other characters and symbols I have tried work fine except for the registered trademark,
View 1 RepliesI'm noticing that my embedded font is not properly displaying when I browse to certain portions of my site with my other office pc's. The "about me" section of [URL] in particular. What's confusing is that the other portions of the site do display the font properly!?! I've uploaded the original .fla file to the server for anyone that's really interested in helping. It can be downloaded at [URL]
View 2 RepliesI am looking for a fairly simple image comparison method in AS3. I have taken an image from a web cam (with no subject) passed it in to bitmap data, then a second image is taken (this time with a subject) to compare this data, from these two images I would like to create a mask from the pixels that match on both bitmaps. I have been scratching my head for a while, and I am not really making any progress. Could any one point me in the right direction for pixel comparison method, something like getPixel32()

View 1 RepliesI've got a page that has a flash banner on it with a small animation. In fact, I've got four versions of this banner, and I'd like to be able to load a different version each time someone visits the site. Can someone please help this rank amateur devise a script that will allow me to do this? It has four different .swf files, and I need to load them such that the same person doesn't see the same .swf file on consecutive visits. Normally, I'd do this with cookies, but I just don't see how to get it done with Flash CS5 and/or Actionscript 3.

View 14 RepliesI have a 100x100px image. I want to get 1 pixel vertical line from x- 1 to 100. How can I do that?
View 7 RepliesSo, 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?
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.
