Css :: Embedding Font In Flex Locally With A Installed Font Works, But With Url To Refer To A Ttf Font File Doesn't

Feb 7, 2011

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.

Professional :: Font Embedding Or Change The Font When Need Subscripts And Superscripts

Oct 4, 2010

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.

Way Of Embedding A Font In Flash?

Nov 16, 2011

I'm using Flash CS5 and I have a problem with my exported SWF file: it's over 100kb in size. I have 2 vectorial symbols and 4 dynamic text with embed Calibri font boxes which are displaying information from an external XML file. These text boxes are the ones which are generating the most size of my swf file. I need to cut down somewhere, I've searched but I haven't came across a "best practices guide to embedding fonts in a flash file". I find it hard to believe that if you only embed alphanumerical characters of 1 single font your file size reaches >100kb..

Embedding Font In Flash Movie On Site?

Nov 13, 2009

I've searched the web and tried a number of different approaches to embed a font in my Flash movie but each has ended in frustration. I have created several buttons with dynamic text fields that use the font I need. I have added the font to my library, given it a unique name, exported for actionscript and then used the unique name when selecting the font in my dynamic text fields. I am probably not using the right AS code to embed and use the font. What's the easiest way to embed the font? I am also using the same embedded font in a around 5 flash movies on the site.

fontFamily: WhitneyLight;

And the output I get is:

Fontarray length: 1

Flash - AS3 Font Embedding From Parent To Child SWF

Jan 10, 2012

I have a parent swf with fonts embedded in the library, which have export for actionscript set and a class name assigned. The patent swf loads a number of child swfs to which I'm trying to pass a textformat object using a desired font from the parents library. How can this be achieved. I have tried Font.registerFont(font class) and created a new instance of the font before setting the textformat, but this only works on machines with the font installed. In the child swf, the textfield text is set, then the textfomat applied with setTextFormat();

ActionScript 3.0 :: [CS4] Flash Library Font Unicode Character Embedding?

Aug 20, 2009

This is a rather advanced problem but apparently I'm not the only one having it.So far I've been using external font loading in all my projects. A Tahoma.swf with a Tahoma Font library item and basically two lines of code:ActionScript Code:import flash.text.Font;Font.registerFont(TahomaSmooth);As soon as I load the font in my application it's ready for use. This is Jesse Freeman's method, in case it looks familiar.The problem is Flash CS4 doesn't embed polish fonts. And clients dnt lke t read tet that hs mssng chrcters. Unfortunately for anyone who isn't english Adobe didn't forsee that people might actually want to specify the character set when embeding Fonts. This strikes me as odd, as supposedly the whole font was supposed to be imported, at least that's how it originally worked, AFAIK.

Flash 10 :: Cross-platform Random Font-glyphs Missing Inspite Of Embedding

Jul 29, 2010

A project I am am working on has an extremely strange font problem. We have completely unpredictable glyphs missing on Mac compilations inspite of correct font embedding and correct font installations on the machines. Here is some of the context:

1. The Font is a custom truetype font which belongs to the client.

2. We are working on CS5 on the Mac, and CS4 on PC.

3. We are using classic dynamic texts, assigning striungs to the text attribut (not to htmlText). However the probel also occurrs with other classic text modes (single-line, multi line, kerening on or off, etc)

4. It is not predictable whether the glyphs of the font will show or not on the Mac CS5 compilations or not.

5. The issue does not seem to occurr with standard fonts like Courier or Helvetica.

6. Compiling on CS4 on PC works correctly.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Embedding Font In CS3

Nov 13, 2008

I am trying to embed font in CS3. The chinese text is visible on local desktop but not on remote desktop. Below are the steps that I have followed.

* created a new font in Library and given a linkage name to it. [Tried with Arial UniCode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode]

* Given this font name to textField on stage.

* Registered this new font.

* enumerated the font in an array.Later assigned this font name to Font instance.

* Used FontInstance.fontName as textFormat's font and applied this textformat as defaultTextFormat.

* Assigned chinese hardcoded text.

I tried with textFieldName.embedFont=true, but it didn't. This swf shows chinese text on local desktop. But same swf when viewed from a remote desktop, chinese text appears as squares. Let me know if I am missing any step.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash CS5.5 - Font Embedding Horror (bug, Not "does Anyone Know How To Embed Fonts?")

Apr 12, 2012

I am using three fonts of the Helvetica typeface,embedding them with the embed metatag, font files inside project, openType.I noticed that for some reason the bold font looks identical to the roman font.After 4 hours of ____, and testing with five fonts, it turns out that:

if i change the name of all the font files at once, and change the reference to them in the code, all of the fonts work the first time i publish. the second time i publish (without any changes except pressing publish a second time) some fonts overwrite others, randomly, for instance :

roman looks like roman
bold looks like roman,
light looks like roman,
black looks like black,
rounded looks like black.

the only way i can make sure that flash embeds all of the fonts, is to change *all* of their names and publish. additional info:second time i publish the swf filesize is much smaller than first time ( -flash really doesn't embed anything).traces to which fonts are registered show all fonts are there,no errors

using distinct fontnames

publishing cache disabled

restart doesn't help

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Font Embedding Bug

Feb 3, 2010

Is there a known bug for the following case?
 
Case:
A project I'm working on doesn't seem to handle font embedding correctly when the font is added dynamically using actionscript. When I test my movie it does not display the embedded font at all. Curious about this is, that when I create an empty project using the same code and then embed the font and test the movie it displays the font without any problem.
 
Sometimes a reboot of the machine I'm working on will suffice to make the embedding work again, but sometimes is not all the time. So I was wondering if there was a memory related bug that causes this behavior. If so, is there any sight on a solution for this bug? It's more than annoying to reboot eight times a day, just to test a movie.
 
How did I embed the font:

1. Create a "New Font" in the Library, set the properties and give it a classname.
 
2. Using actionscript to embed the font in a dynamically generated TextField.
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.text.Font;

ActionScript 3.0 :: External TTF Font Embedding?

I'm a typical embedder. I just embed the fonts, register them from another file and be done with it. Though I'm starting to desire to embed some ranges and also use test loading external .ttf files.
 
What is the best practice for embedding an external TTF at runtime? Is it still basically like this? Anything more modern? I find most blog posts on the subject range in the 2007 area.

Flex :: Possible To Automate Font Embedding

Aug 5, 2010

I've searched high and low for an answer and it might be a foolish endeavour but i'd like to be able to read fonts from a directory at runtime for use in an actionscript/flex app.Ive seen the answers on the web and all rely on putting fonts in external swfs and certainly rely on embed meta tags or styles when i'd like a local fonts directory to be able to be used, its not too user friendly asking a user to compile their own swfs to use the app.The only answer I can see is to have a server running mxmlc and creating .mxml files with embed tags every time a user wants to update their fonts and recompiling the app when needed but its a bit much.

Actionscript 3 :: Font Embedding Does Not Work Or?

Sep 1, 2010

i have this weird problem. I have a major project, no details needed except that it is split to many SWFs, and so - I would like to use a Shared Library to embed the fonts. Done - sl_fonts.swf loaded, fonts - checked and working, the rest of the SWFs are loaded AFTER (checked by a preloader).

Now - again, I traced the result of the request to the font, it is all like

DEBUG: REQUEST ArialBlack RETURN [class EMArialBlack] (main.swf)
DEBUG: GOT [class EMArialBlack] (loaded.swf)

The loaded SWF file requested for ArialBlack and it seems that it got an answer - EMArialBlack, which is the embedded font's class.

The weird thing is that when I put this return to a TextFormat's .font, it does not really work. I even traced the TextFormat.font after setting it to the return. It actually traced [class EMArialBlack]. BUT when I set this TextFormat to a TextField it does not work? If embedFonts is off, it has no result (it keeps the old _sans placeholder font). If it is on, no text is shown at all.
