I seemed to have had this problem a few times. I use the <b> (bold) tag in my array and if I don't embed the fonts, the bold seems to work out fine, but once I embed the font, I lose the bold.

What do i need more for let li and b working?
i place 3 dynamic text fields on the stage with embed fonts for regular, bold and Italic side from the font symbols you see I reference in my code.
Code: Select allvar arnoReg:Font = new ArnoReg();
var arnoBold:Font = new ArnoBold();
var arnoItalic:Font = new ArnoItalic();

i neeed to create a text box with bold letter. my coding is as follows.
but it always shows bold, even i gave tf1.bold = false.
[Code]....
Note: where options[0][0] is an array has all the properties bold = true/false, color = 0x----.

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 have a dynamic text box for 3 lines of text. I styled part of the text to be bold and part of it to be regular. When i click on the button to display the text it looks right the first time but if i click on it a second time then all of the text shows up bold instead of just the few lines i assigned the bold tag to.
View 18 RepliesI am using swf embed font[normal] in my flex application but if i apply bold or italic for the text,its looking normal only. let me know if you have any solution.
View 1 Repliesthis feels like such a newbie question, but it's driving my crackers. i've already got a whole bunch of css defined, and all of it works:
var mycss = new TextField.StyleSheet();
mycss.setStyle("body",
{color: '#AB958D',

-Adobe CS3 Web Premium. -Compiling using AS3. I'm pulling in some text values from an external XML file for a "next" button and I set the font to bold when I made it Verdana. I'm not sure why but it still is normal verdana when I compile it.
I've found several posts similar to mine saying I need to embed the bold version of the font, but I don't have the option of purchasing or creating a bold Verdana. Since it is just Verdana, is there not a method I can use to simply bold the text?
I've imported four fonts into the Library and used Linkage to enable Export for Actionscript. The fonts are the four versions of Trebuchet MS:
Trebuchet MS
Trebuchet MS Bold
Trebuchet MS Bold Italic
Trebuchet MS Italic
They are named like this in the Library and for example the 'Bold Italic' version has both 'bold' and 'italic' selected in its properties.
Then I drew a dynamic textfield and selected for it's font 'Trebuchet MS Bold Italic*' so that the embed font was used. I also embeded the glyphs for 'Basic Latin' and 'Latin 1'.
Then I used this code to fill it with text:
ActionScript Code:
my_txt.embedFonts = true;
my_txt.text = "This is a sample";
The text is placed, however, it is always in the Trebuchet MS regular font. Also when I click the bold and italic icons in the Property Bar, the font won't go bold/italic. The same for just bold and just italic. It only turns bold/italic when I delete all font symbols accept the Bold Italic one.
I have used a method to shuffle a part of a Array, but i noticed that it does not work very well.When i run this method I sometimes get empty array values.So if you would try the example below and test it out some times you would get a right result but sometimes a wrong result.For example when i run this i get in my trace output:
a,b,c,d,g,,e,f (here after the g it goes wrong)
a,b,c,f,g,d,e (here it goes right)
a,b,c,d,,g,f,e (here it goes wrong)[code]...
Code:
var myArray = new Array;
myArray = [{value1:"1", value2:"something1"},{value1:"2", value2:"something2"}];
trace(myArray); //return [object Object],[object Object] (whole array)
trace(myArray[0]); //returns [object Object] (first entry)
trace(myArray[1]); //returns [object Object] (second entry)
How do I trace value1 and value2 from each entry I thought it would be something like this but I guess not
trace(myArray[1,["value1"]]);
when my ship lands within certain coordinates i want to add a docking button to to a child of another movieclip. Then I want to add the docking button to an array so that when thrusters are engaged i can remove that child.The docking button does get added to the screen but all i get is undefined when i trace out the the DocksArray.Here's where i declare it up under class:
Code:
var DocksArray:Array = new Array();
within the update function i try to trace DocksArray:
Code:
ship.moveShip();
ship.rotateShip();
//scaleWorld();

I'm creating multiple movieclips, containing a TextField and an image as a background. In order to keep track of them I'm storing them in an array. The problem is that I can't add the movieclip to the screen >.< What I'm doing is
PHP Code:
addChild(movieclips[0]);
but it's not displaying. I know it's not the movieclip as I can addChild that and it shows, but trying to call it out of the array is not working and it's REALLY frustrating the nark out of me .How do I add the selected movieclip out of my array?
I'm having an issue with my code where im trying to make a different movieclip play every 2 seconds on the start screen for a school project. Simply by changing the array access number however flash is giving me an error code and I've narrowed it down to (i believe anyways)something wrong with my " mcArray[i].gotoAndPlay(2); " because it works fine if i just put the name of the movieclip but not with the array.
The error code is:
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.

I created a prototype function for the Array object. It's supposed to load and parse an XML file, then take all the values from the XML file and convert them to objects, which I then want to push to the array that called the function. However, I can't seem to get it to work.The function itself seems to work, but the push to the array does not. (code below)
Array.prototype.xmltoArrObj = function( path ) {
var xmlurl:String = "nav/" + path + ".xml";
var attr:String = "";

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to set up an app that moves one movie clip to the top of the screen, regardless of where it is or how deeply it is nested. To do this, I take the full path of the movie clip and go in, movie clip by movie clip, putting the depth of each nested clip on top. This part works perfectly. Afterwards, I want to move everything back to where it was. In the first step, I store the current depths of everything in an array before changing depths. In the second step, I'm trying to change everything back to its original depth, as shown in the array.
The code is below:
_global.videoPath = _root.clip1.clip2;
var pathString = String(_global.videoPath);
var videoPathArray = pathString.split(".");
var depthArray:Array = new Array();

I'm having three movie clips, which I would like to move randomly within a set box. The following script works with one movie, but not with all movies placed in an array.

var upperLeftLimit:Point = new Point(0, 0)var bottomRightLimit:Point = new

I'm creating an array of thumbnails. The images are being read via an xml file. This works fine. What doesn't work is the TextField I put underneath the thumbnail image.
Code:
Select all
var thumbContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
thumbContainer.addChild(loadedThumb);
var sl = new slNum_mc; //This is being referenced as a class from the library.
sl.slideNumber.text = "abc"; //slideNumber is a dynamic textfield in the movie clip class sl, the initial
sl.slideNumber.y = 90; // text "abc" does apply at runtime
thumbContainer.addChild(sl);
addChild(thumbContainer);
searchSlideArray.push(thumbContainer); //Adds it to an array I already set up
This much does work. But when I try to trace it like this:
Code: Select alltrace(searchSlideArray[0].sl.slideNumber.text);
I get an error. How can I correctly reference the text in a text field that is housed in a movie clip class?
Code:
var temp:Array = new Array();
temp[0] = 0;

I'm trying to check through an array to see if any of my movie clips are currently on frame 15, before taking giant leaps I was trying to just get it to work with one var in the array before all of them, for some reason this code is not working, the trace is not coming up.
Code:
stop();
var anybtn:Array = [btn1_mc, btn2_mc];
trace(anybtn[1]);
btn1.onPress = function(){
if(anybtn[1]._currentframe == 15){
trace ("Array Check Working"); .....
If someone would like to go a step further and show me how to check through all movie clips. There will be many more than btn1_mc and btn2_mc so I will definitely need to use an array.
I'm setting up a class of public static vars that are to be BitmapData.
The problem I'm having is I can't seem to reference the vars dynamically in an array, making it impossible to give them values without some serious procdedural style coding.
This is what it looks like
package com.myPackage{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....
Should I assume it's because my array is a private var and placing references to public static vars is illegal? Is somebody gonna call the flash police on me?
