I'm working in a recent project that showed up an apparently unsolvable issue:1. Is there a way of dynamic embedding fonts into an external .as?I'm trying to manage the below code to work.
ActionScript Code:
[Embed(source="C:WINDOWSFontsARIAL.TTF", fontFamily="Arial")];
public function texto(conteudo:String, fonte:String, tamanho:Object, cor:Object,
[code].....
I'm using Flash CS4. I'm trying to load and embed an external font. The main problem I'm having is that I need to import more than just latin 1. I need many special characters imported as well. Because of this, using Flash CS4's create new font from the library is not an option. I'm using Verdana, so I know the font has all the characters I need. So what I need to do is create an external swf that holds the font. Then I need to import and use the font. Unfortunately, I've found way too many ways online that work but don't fit my needs.
View 5 RepliesI'm making a flash application that that let's the user to create a image(like paint).Everything works fine but i have a problem embedding external fonts. Embedding them the classic way(library->New Font->...) is ok, but I want to load my fonts from an external source, so if a user want's to use his own font he would be able to upload his font on my server and the flash to be able to embed the font to the movie(using an xml or php)
View 3 RepliesI just upgraded to Flash CS5. Font embedding is entirely different than it was in CS4. I've been looking for examples online but none seem to show me a solution that matches what I need.
In the project I'm working on, code changes the font a text box uses based on region and language. To keep file size down I created separate swf files with the fonts embedded. That way I only download the font I need. The way I did this and the code I used in CS4 doesn't seem to work anymore.
I was trying this embed external fonts method found in this video. [URL] This method works great for dynamically created textfields. The problem is it doesn't seem to work with text fields that are already on the stage. Why would there be a difference?
View 2 RepliesI've recently had to format my computer and now having a problem with the flash actionscript window: the actionscript text looks like bold, or in a different font. The problem is that when I search for something like "flash" and "fonts", no matter which other words I use, always comes a lot of things about fonts for flash files, or for flash embedding fonts, but never for the program itself. Wich font is missing in my system that flash CS3 needs?
View 1 Repliesmy fonts displaying in my swf file. I created the flash site using CS4 on a mac. I thought the fonts were embedded but when I tested the swf in safari and firefox the fonts disappeared are all scrunched up in 1/2" on top of each other in several lines. Its a mess. It is displaying in times or some other font when viewed in on a pc browser.
What I did so far that did not work:
Made fonts static with animation
made fonts dynamic with animation
I am having trouble embedding fonts with cs5. When i publish the text disappears.The text is dynamically loaded and when published appears blank. I'm using Actionscript 2 I need help with the scripting. I've selected the dynamic text box and gone to Type> font embedding and created a new font. Then exported it for actionscripting.What script do i have to put in the first frame so that it uses the font?
View 3 RepliesI'm having real problems getting my embedded fonts to display on publish using CSS.I've added new fonts to my library, exported for actionscript, set my textfield.embedFonts to true, linked my stylesheet, and no dice.Works fine without the embeds, but goes blank with them.
Code:
story, cast, trailers, photos, tickets, links, pressSec {
font-family: DeckerText; <--Name of embedded font symbol...also tried Decker
font-size: 14;[code]....
I have a combo box that has an array of fonts loaded into them, not here is my problem. For some reason, when i select the fonts in the array, some of them change and some of them dont. I have created font symbols like instructed in the live docs, but i dont get why they arent showing up.i.e. I have 7 fonts loaded into this combo box and i can select Arial Bold and my text field will show the text in arial bold, but when i select hobo, i get some substitute!here's my code, maybe you guys will see something i haven't.
View 2 RepliesI have a combo box under a mask and I've done some research and discovered that I need to embed the fonts in to it in order for the text to show. I don't want to embed my own fonts, I just want to use the basic default font and get this working, yet I can't seem to find any tutorials that tell you how to do this, they all seem to be about setting the font colour, size and type.

View 1 RepliesI found this code for embedding fonts 100% with code - bypassing the CS4 library, but I'm not understanding how I call it.If, for example, I put it in an external as file called globals, do I call the function lie this: globals.Test()?It's the "extends MovieClip" part that's confusing me.[code]
View 1 RepliesThere is a new way to embed fonts in CS5. So I've embeded a font in a CS5 flash file's library and gave it a linkage ID. I'd like to embed this font in an ActionScript project using the "[EMBED]" tag. I've tried the following code to embed the "Helvetica LT" font, but the textfield seemed to be unaffected.
[Embed(source="../fla/CS5FlashFile.swf", symbol="HelveticaLinkageID")]
private var _cHelvetica:Class;

Is there a way to create embedded "pure as3" swf fonts using compc (without the flex framework integration)? If I embed a font like this in my as3:
package fonts
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.Font;
[Code].....
which prevents me from using the embedded font in "pure as3" projects. Is there a way to get flex-free fonts using compc?
i want to embed some of the system fonts on client machine in my flex app at run time there is way to load the fonts swf at runtime but it is not suitable cause of some security issues.
is there any way to embed fonts at run time in my flex app?
I am trying hard to embed many fonts in my flash application. I tried few AS3 codes given in forums, but it not worked.
View 3 Repliesi'm trying to format a textfield with css.in case i'm using systemfonts like arial etc it works, but other fonts won't be embedded.with embedFonts = true nothing will be displayed. why?considering the filesize, the font IS embedded..var embeddedFontClass:Class = getDefinitionByName( "Myfont" ) as Class;Font.registerFont( embeddedFontClass );
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip "mcText" which basically just holds dynamic text... For some reason, when I attach this clip (as winner) to my movie with the font being embedded (using Anti-Alias for Animation) then the text is invisible... if I trace the text, it shows the right thing, and if I make this text selectable, then I can copy the text but the thing is still invisible.
View 8 RepliesI'm working on an AS3 project with Flash builder 4. I'm trying to get fonts into it.i read somewhere that it's possible to get the fonts from a .swf. I'm currently loading my assets in at run time, is it possible for me to get my embeded fonts from that loaded .swf? or do they have to be embeded some other way?
View 5 RepliesI've added a font to the library, Gill Sans, to be exact. I've used in the some dynamically created buttons successfully. That was done with:
var myFont:Font = new MenuFont();
var theFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
theFormat.font = myFont.name;
Works every time.I tried to use the same font in some other TextFields, but this time I needed to use CSS to format it all. My style sheet looks like:
p{
font-family: "Gill Sans";
color: #FFFFFF;
}
And I've got embedFonts set to true and it works perfectly...but only on my Mac.When I publish the swf and upload it to a server, I get this: Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http:[url]....

at XXXMainMenu/setup()
at XXXMain/setupMenu()

Which looks to me like it can't find the font file. But I looked at the swf Movie Report and it shows Gill Sans just fine.
I am having trouble embedding a font in my Flash file. I have the font in my library. I have the text field selected to that font with the * next to it. In my actions I have: vid_title_txt.embedFonts = true;
If I set it to false instead, it shows a different font. But if it is set to true, nothing shows.
I am developing an application in Flash and am using a few system (?) fonts like Verdana & Tahoma. The application will use the fonts for static text display, dynamic text display & user input and it will be deployed on a web server to be accessed mainly by users in the US on Windows & Macintosh systems. I wanted to have a few special characters added to the font and so checked with one of the vendors of these fonts and he told me that if I'm using the font for text display (static & dynamic) its fine, but cannot use it for text input as that would violate the IPR/EULA of these two font.
View 1 Replieshow to use the IDE for selecting which glyphs you want when embedding fonts, but is there a way to do it in code when you've created your text field entirely with code?The pages on embedding fonts using code in the Adobe support area don't seem to mention glyphs.

View 5 RepliesI have been trying to embed "å°å¡šã‚´ã‚·ãƒƒã‚¯ Pro M" font via export for actionscript and I haven't had luck so far. I did the font.registration method but still no luck I had no problem doing this in CS3 and CS4 but CS5 must be different.
View 1 RepliesI'm usually creating 1 .as file per font and exports these .as files to swf's that I load in to my flash projects. This way I can choose what characters to embed. Now I tested copying my verdana ttf fontfiles from my Windows font folder and embedded this to create a Verdana swf fontfile. When I tested running this I tried with some swedish characters with dots. The dots above the characters from some of these characters was positioned slightly offset (like a few pixels to the right or left). Anyone had the same problem?
Example code:
[Embed(source = 'fontfiles/verdana.ttf', fontName = 'Verdana', mimeType="application/x-font-truetype", unicodeRange = 'U+00-U+FF')]
public static var font:Class;
public function Verdana() {
Font.registerFont(font);
