ve attached 2 screenshots. The first shows the flash stage at its default size - as you can see my font is all distorted and weird looking but when you zoom in (image 2) it's exactly like it should be. What would make it look like this when the stage hasn't been zoomed out or anything, it's just from pressing cmd and enter from flash?I embedded it by putting it into the fla's library.

View 8 RepliesI'm learning AS3 with Flex Builder 2, and have run into all sorts of difficulties when trying to embed a font so that a group of textfields will display correctly when they are tweened. There are a number of examples posted across the web which apparently work fine for other people, but I've tried them unsuccessfully. Perhaps this is because other people are using the Flash 9 alpha and it works differently in Flex, though I don't know why that should be. For example, with this code I receive an error that says "Unable to resolve "C:WindowsFontsARIAL.TTF for transcoding" even though the file exists in that location.

I have an embedded font in my AIR/AS3 app that lacks support for most internationalcharacters. Using TextField and StyleSheet with the font-family property, I assumed I would simply need to do this:font-family: Interstate-Regular, _sans;This works if TextField.embedFonts = false; but then Interstate-Regular isn't embedded for users that don't have it on their system. With TextField.embedFonts = true; the text doesn't even show up. Is there a way to embed Interstate-Regular and still use _sans as a fallback system font without embedding it as well?

I'm using Flex 4. I'm trying to apply a embedded font in all Alert components of the application, to get the same style that all the app, of course. I code in my CSS file:
[Code]...
The font-family worked to all componentes, but not to the Alert component. In alert the text message and title got unvisible. If I change to other font-family it works correctly, just the embedded font doesn't work on Alert component. Anyone got this problem? Obs: The embedded font worked in all the app, just the Alert no.
I have generated an swf file that contains my embedded font of specified Unicode range, then I am loading this swf into my application. The code in the generated file for the font, automatically registers the font using the Font.registerFont method. I then load this swf file into my application, I never add it to the display list, I just created an instance of the file so that the code is executed to register the font.
Then I use the font name when I create embedded text fields and there you go it works... well it used to, I am not having any luck at the moment though. Sometimes it displays fine, other times it all appears cut off and I see a few pixels of the text I am trying to display.... Anyone else had a similar issue? Know what it might be? I have created a class below that I am using for the embedded font text, any issues people see with this?

In my flash game the font i choose looks perfectly fine on my computer (being played from a website) but when i use a computer at school or my friends computer, all the font is ALWAYS times new roman.. this happens with every game i make..
I tried switching from tlf text to classic text.... but it didn't change at all.. can someone help please? I have been facing this problem for months now.
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?
I have a site I was working on that I am using two main fonts in. I had the fonts embedded in the SWF. I upgraded to CS 5.5 this morning, now some of the fonts have changed.
I have two SWF's that when loaded into the main site, no longer have the correct font. When I preview them independently, they are fine. When they load into the main SWF they use a standard font instead of the embedded one.

I 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 am observing a problem with how an embedded font is applied to certain Flex components, namely mx:Label and mx:DataGrid. I have a CSS that declares three variations on an embedded font as follows:
@font-face
{
src:url("buttons.swf");
[Code].....
(I've snipped some stuff from both style rules, so if you think there's something that may be causing a conflict I can certainly post the entire definition. It's mostly color, line and padding stuff for the DataGrid.)
The problem that is for both Label and cells in the DataGrid the text is being rendered as sort of a times new roman font. The headers in the DataGrid are fine, just the text in the cells is wonky. All other components use the correct font as defined in the CSS/SWF.
i have attached the fla and xml file. i need to display the html embeded in the xml and display in the flash.

View 1 RepliesI'm at the end of finishing this application and am completely stumped as to why ampersands (&) are displaying like, &. The app is a greeting card. The text field it is displaying incorrectly in is a dynamic text field that is pulling the data from an XML file. The XML file is being generated dynamically via PHP which is pulling the data from a database
View 13 RepliesI am aligning my display objects in the middle. stage.stageWidth/2. for some reason, they are aligning further off to the right of the screen. I haven't altered anything but the stage width in flash. Has anyone heard of this problem? Again, I haven't done anything except widen the screen and adjust the height.
My focus point on the display object is top left. So it aligns perfectly when set to 0,0
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.stageWidth = 300;
I have tried to develop my first flash project using Actionscript 3.0. When I "Publish Preview" (HTML - Default, Flash and HTML) in Flash CS5 Pro, the project seems to work just fine. However, when I actually publish the project the html with the swf file does not display correctly. The flash file is suppose to show a video with a video control skin (play, pause etc.) beneath the video. On the video I have tried to embed a button at the bottom of the display that, when clicked, takes the user to a webpage.
The flash file is suppose to look like the one at: [URL]. This is just an image of the "Publish Preview" output.
What I get with the published html and swf file is at: [URL]. Just the button displays???
My fla file is at: [URL]
I have a .Swf, which has 3 fonts embedded in it, they are all exported in frame 1 for AS. This swf loads any number of external .swfs which have dynamically generated textfields inside of them. This text must be embedded text because effects may be applied to them. I do not want to embed the three fonts into every external swf, and do not think I should have to. The font exists in the Loading swf and I have registered the fonts to the global font list. If I print this list from the loaded swf, all three fonts are present, but when I try to use any of them, my textfiels are empty.
how do I utilize a font which is embedded in a swf, from a swf which has been loaded into that swf?
From my external swf, this code:
PHP Code:
var embeddedFonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(false);embeddedFonts.sortOn("fontName", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);trace(embeddedFonts);
[Code]....
which is exactly what I would expect. Yet, my text box is still blank. I have embedText = true on the text box, and have applied a string to the "text" property, so it's nothing silly liek that.
I have an English based flash set that I'm localizing in Japanese. The client has written to embed the fonts in a font.swf. So I figured I can just add 'New Font' for Japanese fonts, add the class ID to the script file:
var font:LoadFont = new
LoadFont('fonts.swf',['ArialRegular','ArialMedium',
'MSUIGothicReg', 'MSUIGothicBold']);
then export the fonts,swf, and launch the main.swf, JPN fonts should show up correctly. But instead, I get blanks for Japanese characters. Does anyone know what I missed? I've tried other methods: 1) add a layer in main file, 'Character Embedding' in Properties; 2) 'Character Embedding' each text boxes in main; none has worked.
in the attachment, you'll see the text display is quite awful despite the fact I embed Arial font in my application.

View 1 RepliesI have a situation in AS3 where I am required to embed a font but the .tff font file to be distributed with the software can't be seen by the user for copyright reasons.

View 1 RepliesUsing FlashDevelop with the Flex SDK, I'm trying to embed a font in the swf file, using the following [code]...
But for some reason, the text won't show up in the embedded font. When 'embedFonts' is set to false, the text will be visible, but in the default font.
I have an html text field that I want to use as an ongoing chat field (dynamic) and since flash has alignment issues with images inside text, I thought I'd embed a nice picturesque font and then just code them apart
e.g <p><font face='_sans' size='12'>Hello </font><font size='21'> there</font></p>
The embedded font is the default font for the textbox, so only the non graphical text needs to have a font face. So in that example "Hello" would be in text and "there" would be the graphical font.
Problem is, after much trouble even getting the font to embed and appear, that the sans text never appears.Also, Iam constranied in that I have to publish as flash 6.
Using this font:

why a font wouldn't publish in flash and how to get around this issue?
Flash IDE's font embedding, so I gave it a try and went full AS3:
[Code]....
Problem is, this function only works in half the fields I pass to it, randomly. When it "fails", the field seems empty (even when it's not) and if it's an input one it's not possible to even place the text cursor in it.
No error, no warning and the fields are exact copies of the other with different instance names.
In the example above "txtPassword" worked but not "txtUser".
If you import fonts as symbols into the Library in Flash's IDE, are those font symbols available only to the document class, or can they be used by other classes? Do those other classes need to be passed a reference to it? Question Two: This seems to be standard way to embed fonts into a class:
[Code]...
Often embeding fonts using the above method doesn't work. I've done lots and lots (and lots!!) of testing and the transcoder is very picky about which fonts it finds acceptable. It really likes .otf fonts but often not .ttf I found out that there are 3 different font managers used to transcode fonts, and although the correct one is supposed to be selected automatically, this doesn't always happen.
[URL] The solution to this in Flex is to add this additional compiler argument: -managers=flash.fonts.AFEFontManager My question is, does anyone out there know how to force the AFEF font manager in the Flash IDE?
