Actionscript 3.0 :: Embedding Fonts XML CSS Bold Italic?
Oct 23, 2008I've been trying everything with this issue so thought I'd put it out there to see if anyone can offer a solution or even advise if this is possible or not.This is the scenario:
I dynamically create a textField. I load an external CSS file into a stylesheet. From an XML file I load HTML content into the textField via .htmlText I have added the font to the library and have made it available for Export for ActionScript The HTML has spans with classes eg:
<span class="boldText">Flash Flash Flash</span>
The CSS states:
.boldtext {
font-family:Anivers;
font-style:italic;
[code]....
The font I'm using does not have any other family members like bold or italic Here is the problem. Leaving embedFonts = false things work just fine. But obviously I need to embed this font so all can see it. As soon as i set embedFonts = true I no longer get bold or italic.Is this a case of because the font does not have a bold or italic the system it just rendering, or am I just missing something? For example the checkboxes in the font's properties where you can choose bold and italic. I tried these but no luck.

Nov 3, 2009I have an xml-based mp3 player which loads the track titles into dynamic text fields from an external .xml file and I can't get the text to bold. I have "use device fonts" checked. If I select the text field in Flash and change the color or size those attributes will change in the published version, but... when I click the B button, it won't render the text bold in the published version.Do I have to add additional font formatting in the actual ActionScript? Here's the AS for the player. I only want to bold the track title which (I think) is about half-way down -- track_title.text = track_list[current];[code]
View 5 RepliesIDE :: Embedding Bold Font In Separate Text Field Not Working
Sep 15, 2010Using:
-Adobe Flash IDE (CS3)
-AS3
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.
ActionScript 1/2 :: Bold And Italic Fonts In Dynamic Text Fields?
May 24, 2006I have a dynamic text field with the text "IMAGES". The font is Arial, it has BOLD and ITALIC checked, and has basic Latin fonts embedded. Now, I use Actionscript to change the text:
textField.text = "IMAGES";
Suddenly the text disappears! Now, it seems to me that since BOLD and ITALIC are checked on the text field, changing the .text value should simply change the text itself, which should then be rendered in bold and italic, and since I have bold+italic Latin glyphs embedded, it should display properly. But what's clearly happening is that when I set the text using Actionscript, it is attempting to display the NORMAL font instead, and since it's not embedded, it won't display. I know this because if I create another proxy text field off the screen and embed the NORMAL Arial glyphs, the original text field's text will display just fine - as normal-weight text.
But why is this? Do I have to use a TextFormat object to set the text to Bold and Italic EVERY time I want to dynamicaly change the text? This seems silly. I simply want my text field to be bold and italic every time the text changes, and NO normal text!

Embedding Multiple Fonts Fore One Text Field?
May 29, 2009I 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.

Nov 1, 2010I have been trying to embed a font into a project I am working and its just not happening. I am having 2 problems first I am trying to embed a font that I do not have installed on my machine (Helvetica Neue Bold), I do have a copy of the otf file though. As far as I know what I have tried should work however when I run the swf I only get Times New Roman. From the enumerated fonts I can see the font has embedded but it just wont show. Secondly if I replace the Helvetia font with one I do have on my machine (Arial for example) the text displays with the correct font but if I then set embedFonts = true the text disappears.

View 3 RepliesIDE :: Embedding Helvetica Bold Into Dynamic Textfield?
Nov 12, 2009I have a single dynamic textfield containing NON-HTML text meant to be displayed in a single typeface: Helvetica Neue - 75 Bold. When I author on a Windows installation, the font displays as Helvetica Roman. When I author on the Mac, the font displays correctly as the boldface version.
how to embed multiple weights of a typeface so you can use HTML markup to, say, mix bold, italic and roman text in the same textfield. This is about manually embedding a single font, Helvetica neue 75 Bold into a dynamic textfield using the Flash IDE and it not working on Windows.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Embedding Helvetica Bold (continued)?
Dec 4, 2009Problem: although I'm embedding Helvetica Neue 75 Bold, flash displays Helvetica 55 Roman. note that it's not Helvetica Neue 55 Roman, but Helvetica 55 Roman. So a completely different Font family that I don't even happen to have installed.
I'm assigning text to a dynamic textfield using myField.text = "My text that I added dynamically.". Once this is done, if you examine the myField.htmlText property you will notice that Flash has added a bunch of crap:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Helvetica 55 Roman" SIZE="20" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">My text that I added dynamically.</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
Notice in particular the <FONT FACE...> tag which is what I believe is causing the problem - it's hard-coding the Helvetica 55 Roman font in there. Where the heck is that even coming from? And more to the point, how to get rid of it?Before you suggest a RegExp, I tried that and it doesn't work. I can strip out the <FONT> tag, but when you then re-apply the new string and trace out the .htmlText property again, that <FONT> tag is back!
Code:
var txt = String(txtQuestion.htmlText).replace(/<FONT[^>]+>(.+)</FONT>/, "$1");
txtQuestion.htmlText = txt;
trace(txtQuestion.htmlText);
Also, note that this ONLY occurs for multiline text fields. As soon as you switch to single line, everything is perfect (except that it's not multiline!!)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using A Mixture Of Bold/italic Embedded Fonts In One Textfield?
May 21, 2010I have an HTML string that uses bold and italic tags which I need to apply to a TextField. I need the font to be embedded though and I can't seem to find a way to do this. From what I've read it seems that Flash needs to use the actual bold/italic versions of the font rather than just changing it with HTML? In which case I can't do it all in one textfield because you can't change font? The only solution I found was a suggestion to use the [Embed()] method rather than the method I am using (embedding the font in a library symbol) but I don't think you can do that either with Flash CS3?
