In AS3 I have a couple of dynamic text fields for displaying scores in a game.
If I embed numerals in one of the text fields, will the other be able to use the numerals and display correctly? Should I embed them separately for each text field? In every key frame?
Is there a way to test this myself easily? Obviously my system has all my fonts so I can't tell if they're absent from the .swf.
I've been using Flash for a few years now and I've recently (5 months+) started using CS5 package.My query is how do I successfully embed accented latin characters into a "classic" dynamic text field in my compiled Flash movie that are called from an external text file. I've searched the various forums online and all the methods demonstrated have not worked.
What I've done so far is to to select my dynamic text field, click on "Embed" within the PROPERTIES area, choose the font and the weight, then add any of the foreign characters and/or glyphs to the "Also include these characters:" area then finish up and compile. When I run my SWF file, the glyphs and accented fonts are missing but all the other typical Latin characters show up.
I tried this same method in CS4 (because we have an old Mac in the office too), and almost the same thing happened except instead of completely missing out the glyphs and fonts, it showed a box (almost like an image placeholder) instead.
I have a couple questions about dynamic text fields. Is it possible to embed multiple fonts? Are color and font size dynamic? Is there a way to make scalable text? Is there a way to make a the contents of a dynamic text field a link to whatever URL might be typed into it?
View 4 RepliesI am trying to embed multiple fonts into my input textfield for my html document to display different fonts. How do I do this?

I have created a Flash file which will act as our company's standard presentation / portfolio of all previous projects. I've pretty much got it running the way I want, but I've just tried it on a few different computers and realised that the fonts aren't embedded. I've used our corporate font so it needs to look right. Having read the following documentation [URL] I now understand how to embed fonts for one dynamic text object at a time. However, I have a lot of different dynamic text objects in the file and I would dearly love to embed them all in one step! The same embedding options can be applied to just about all objects, as they're all the same size and font.

View 1 RepliesI'm having a problem with my imported HTML text - basically when I switch on 'Embed fonts' for a text field, Flash will only ever render one line break, regardless of how many </p> <br /> or whatever other type of line-breaking tag you can imagine are present.What this means is that all my paragraphs are squashed up into one, with no double line-break after the closing </p> tag, as you'd expect.I've used html text with css before and normally experience the opposite problem, whereby whitespace linebreaks in the imported text are rendered, but this problem is a new one on me.

View 1 RepliesI can't cope with the inheritance of this AS 3.0! I have the next code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.*;
public class CText extends Sprite {

My only purpose is to create a text field, which is formatted and to have a chance to manipulate it later, so I think I need to express it as a Sprite.
I`m making a matching game that uses dynamic text fields, but cant embed the fonts, I`ve tried everything I could think of, even adding a text box with the embed fonts, or loading them from an external file, nothings absolutely happens,

I am making a Flash movie where a user can change the font of a text field(AS3), and due to the embedded fonts functionality even fonts that ar not on the users computer can be selected.The problem is that I can embed only one font per text field. This should be no issue because they are embedded in the example text and are included in the library. But this does not work!It does not matter whether I use the font name or the name of the font in the library with trailing '*', it simply shows _serifThis problem drives me cray because it disables the main feature of the application.
View 3 RepliesI have some problem with textField with embedded fonts.I'm using font symbols created in library and they work very well with dynamic textfields.If I make an input textfield with these embedded fonts the following problem occurs:if i set the textfield's initial value (.text) to anything not equal to "" everything works fine. I can change the text in it.but if I set the input textfield's .text initially to an empty string, I can't get the cursor in the textfield, as it can't receive the focus.If I turn the texfield's embeddedfonts to false, everything works fine, but this way I can't use custom fonts and fields are looking awful. I would like to use my custom fonts in the input textfields too...

[Embed(source="C:WINDOWSFontsVERDANA.TTF", fontName="VERDANA", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype", flashType = true)]
But there is no change in the appearance of the Text whatsoever.. I need the text to be crisp and clear.Just like the way it looks when we embed the fonts using the Embed... Button in the Flash IDE.

Ive got a movieclip that is in different rotations, the movieclip has a dynamic text field in it, but this only show text when its not rotated...
do i need to embed the text on the dynamic text field to stop this? and if so how do i do this in cs4?
Why's my dynamic text field blank when I embed the font chosen? The text field loads text from an external .txt file with html codes. There's no problem when I mark "No charaters" but when "All" or "Only" is marked the text field is blank? I've tried to remove the html codes from the external file, but it makes no difference!

View 2 RepliesIs there any solution to dynamic fonts yet. I have tried to write classes and followed so much stuff on various blogs but none of them is working. For example, i'm using a font(which is not installed in most machines) say "abc" on my Input and other TextFields/Combos/Radio etc. Now no matter whatever i do, it uses some default font instead of "abc" if accessed from a PC in which this font isn't installed.
One (bad)solution is to embed fonts using the Embed button in "Properties" FOR EACH TEXT FIELd seperately and increase the file size? Still this way wouldn't work for Combos and radio Btns.
What I need to do to use an external style sheet? Should it be a style sheet or an mxml file?I saw this tutorial, which offers quite a bit of good information (some of which I also found in the livedocs) via the comments.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI save my (embedded) fonts in an external file (fonts.swf) that gets loaded at runtime. Pretty standard. I also use a bunch of UI artwork generated in the Flash IDE. Some of this artwork contains static textfields (thus, not proper TextFields that can change. Just frozen glyphs). Here's the problem: if I use the same font in any static textfield and then embed that same font into my collection of runtime fonts, the runtime font will refuse to render. It's the same effect you get if you set a textfield with embeddedFonts=true to use a font that isn't embedded. If I change the static textfields to use a different font, the runtime fonts work just fine.

I need to embed a font in AS3. Never done that before, and the tutorials I found for it are more confusing than revealing.

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to learn me some XML and i found a simple tutorial which works, but can't figure out how to format it using simple tags (bold, italics, etc). i've tried many other tutes but can't get it to work with mine. i understand i need to embed fonts and use cdata but it's not working, as i'm not sure where to add it.
Can somebody check the attached .txt file with the simple XML and AS and show me where to add the code to each? I left out my failed attempts so not to confuse. I'm not very skilled in XML
How do you import fonts, so that you are absolutely sure, that everyone will be able to display that font? (otherwise, makybe his computer doesn't have the font).
View 3 RepliesSince the [Embed(source="1.ttf", fontName="bla", fontWeight="Bold", imeType="application/x-font-truetype")] is not embeding fonts i want couse of errros like with helvetica i try otherway. Since Flash IDE always work nice with embed fonts. I made a SWF that embed the font i want. After I make a class that have a method that returns the fontname. In my flex app i load that SWF.. set a var to the fontname of the included SWF.
Now what i create a new textfield with textformat set to that fontname all work ok. But the quality of the font is so pixel. I tried the AntiAliasType etc.. no real effect. When i look in the SWF with the embed font.. it looks nice and smooth..
Just wondering how to embed fonts using code, and not the library - the examples I have used are giving me errors, so I'm obviously not understanding something.I originally set up a library font, and got it to work fine using the following code, but ideally I'd like to embed using just code.I set up and populate a dynamic text field (JX)g1.textParamFunc(JX);[code]So how would I use the following code to replace the library font?Is there a way to take part of the code, and place it in the g1 package above? Or do I have to create a separate external as for it, and somehow call it into the g1 as?[code]
