ActionScript 2.0 :: Rendering Html Text & Font Embedding
Jul 9, 2004
I am having trouble rendering text that has html tags. I has to do with the font embedding options.I am passing a string to a field text variable (same thing happens for fieldname.htmlText) and here is what happens:let's keep it simple and say I pick Arial as my text field font.
1) If I don't embed any font outlines for that text field, the text field displays the string correctly (with the html right formatting) since my system has Arial installed.
2) If I embed the font outlines:[code]

So, I have some HTML text loaded from a text file into a dynamic text field and I'm using an embedded font to display that text.
What I would like is to get that embedded font to show the italic tagg or underline, etc... the manual say they are supported and they do work when I don't embed a font but use a standard "arial" or whatever... When I use the embedded font, the HTML tags don't work anymore, besides the one to make links... I can understand why the italic or bold don't work since I did not embed those ones and I don't see how I could assign 3 fonts to the same text field anyway... But I thought the color or underligned would work... Anyway, when I embed the fonts, I get all kind of strange buggy behaviors (like, sometimes the text doesn't wrap inside the text field box even though it's specified in the actionscript style defnition, but sometimes it does...)Is there a way to embed fonts, not within flash, but within the HTML text itself? I mean, is there a technology that allows HTML document to display fonts that are on the server's computer instead of the computer viewing the page? So I could bypass Flash embedding the font for the HTML alltogether.

I've got a dynamic textfield(inside a movieclip) in my project that loads XML text which includes HTML tags like bold.
It works great but when I embed the font in flash using the properties panel the HTML tags no longer work, how can I fix that?

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.

Im 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

I've been working on this all day. All I need is the font to be able to be both bold and regular in one string. However, while the string is being written on screen once it hits the bold tag (I have the string writing into a htmlText textarea) everything becomes bold. I can't seem how to figure out how to get it both bold and regular. Ive tired embedding via AS and from the stage using dynamic text. Nothing has worked.

I've developed an application which uses a couple of variations of the same font throughout.I have embedded the relevant font in to every single text field throughout the application (using the embed dialogue box).However whenever I change the text in code, the font is displayed differently. I have even tried setting it to embed every character from the font in to the field, and I have also added the font as a library component and exported for actionscript. It looks like it is losing its weighting.

I tried a sample code I found online but the text doesn't show up. Is there something wrong with this code? [code]When I run this code, there is no text displayed. If I hover the mouse to the upper left corner, the cursor turns into an I beam, but there is no text. The whole page is just white.

I have two separate projects I am working on, very basic, and the Input Text Box on one is only returning the value in HTML format... I cannot figure out for the life of me why.
The Input Text Box on the Stage has a variable assigned to it. I then have a button that checks the users input... the problem is, the input is being converted to HTML so the check is always failing. When I trace the variable it returns the following result[code]...

I've tried several solutions to get this to work on a dynamically created text field. None of them get the job done.
The font I want to use (let's call it FancyFont) is in the library and does have actionscript linkage. It is exported in Frame 1.
Approach 1: Using CSS:
Since I would like to ultimately be able to change the string dynamically, I'm not loading from an external file.
Code:
var styleString="body{font-weight:bold; font-family:FancyFont;} .red {color:#cc0000}"
var style:StyleSheet=new StyleSheet();

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 cannot seem to get a horizontal rule to appear in either html or css.Here is my as3 code. I am briniging in a RSS feed and displaying nodes in a Dynamic Text field. It is working very well but I cannot get the Horizontal Rule to work...
ActionScript Code:
var myText:String = "<p>"+firstheadtext+"</p>"
+"<span class='myTextStyle1'>"+firstbodytext+"</span><br/>"
[code]....
This is not the whole code. I have omitted the RSS loader and the CSS loader and the Text field.

1) 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!

It's been a about seven years since I have done any work with Flash but now my employer is asking me to create a custom online magazine tool (we're publishers). I've been immersed in PHP and AJAX and building Mac apps with XCode so I've got a bit of a relearning curve to go through.
Anyway, I'm pulling in some XML into a Flash file and want to display some of the various node values in a dynamic text box. That was easy enough, AS3 makes it a charm compared to the dark old days. The problem I am running into is displaying the values - its kind of a runsheet for a magazine - num of pages, ads, features, etc. etc. and I want to display that in one text box in a list type format. So I have something like this:

I need to present chemical formulas with subscripts and superscripts in a dynamic text box. To do this, I've downloaded and embedded the GG Subscript and GG Superscript fonts, created a dynamic text box with Arial as the font, and added ActionScript code to change the font when I need subscripts and superscripts. the following is a simplified version of my code.
[Code].....
I get a compiler error 1119 Access of possibly undefined property html through a reference with static flash.text:TextField. The text box is a dynamic text box, not static, so I'm puzzled.I don't get this error with the GG Subscript code above.

I need access to a range of font glyphs for a localized flash application. I am using Myriad Pro which supports character sets such as Greek and others. Is it possible to embed all font glyphs by simply adding the font to the library and checking the option Export for Actionscript?

It's what this image describes:For some reason, I cannot use bold tags to set the TLF text to bold, even though both the regular and bold fonts are embedded.so that the webpage that embeds this movie can call its function (otherwise the movie itself will be wrapped by TLF).his is not exactly a question since there is an obvious solution to this. Just set the htmlText as something like "<font face='Myriad Web Pro'><b>BOLD</b></font>" and you're done.hs issue is, why does it not render the bold text without the font tag in the first place, if I have already set the font of the TLF text in the PI?

The idea is to increment the height of the TextField (with font embedded) and see the difference when it becomes too big. When container.height is over 279 you can notice two things:
1. container starts to increase its width property.
2. The "pixelated" glitch is gone now. (the original ugly pixelation comes from rendering multiple TextFields on top of each other - you can check the for loop). It looks like the issue of one font covering the other is solved differently now.
My question is: what changes when the font becomes too big? is there any property of the TextField (besides the size of course) that I can check to catch the moment? (gridFitType, antiAliasType, thickness, sharpness do not change)[code]...

I'm currently upgrading an app from Flex 4.1 to 4.5.We've noticed that the Arial font is rendered differently between the two versions when used at small sizes.Here's a simple app example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"[code]....
When run against the 2 different sdks, here's an image of the font rendering we get:
Note that in 4.5 the font looks slightly squashed.
What's the cause of this, and how do we resolve it?

I'm working on a project where I fill textboxes in Flash with content from a mysql db. This is working pretty fine, but somehow characters like "�" and "�", "�" etc.. aren't displayed.
I made sure the font is included (uppercase, lowercase, numerals AND punctuation) and I included the specified characters again with the "include these characters-box".
However, when I put a trace-command, they don't appear in the output-box: Itali� comes out as : "Itali�i"
It's got something to do with the mysql-collocation I'm guessing and/or the string handling by the php-script. This is what I do:
