[URL] This is the link of my project. I embedded a kind of pixlated customfont say "font.tff". As you can see the clock in the right corner uses this font, but the glow behind it, doesn't (on my other computer it is). How do I fix this? I already manually embedded the characters at the dynamic textfield. If you hover over the "city" in middle left, you'll see a stats window. The font there works fine.
View 1 RepliesI'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.
View 2 RepliesWhen publishing this FLA, the mac finder gives this message "flash is trying to access files on your external HD. Allow?"When I allow it, all goes well. When I don't allow it or when the external HD is not present, flash cannot embed fonts.I do have the proper fonts on my system and in the library. I don't have these font problems with other FLA files.If I copy all the internal frames and library elements into a new clean FLA, the problem still exists...
View 1 RepliesI am creating an application for iPhone4, and one of the problems I am having is the lack of filter support. I am trying to create a "stroke" around some bitmaps... an example would be a text field that is white on a bright background - I would put a black stroke around it to contract it... there are other needs as well, but this is an example.
Before, I would just put a glow filter on the text field, tweak the settings and it looked good and did exactly what I wanted.But iPhone4 high resolution with gpu acceleration don't support filters - and I can't change those requirements... so any and all bitmap filters are out. Any way I can create a glow filter effect without using filters that would not be a major performance hit for fps and memory?
I'm trying to apply/remove a glow filter to a movie clip on a MOUSE_OVER/MOUSE_OUT event. Basically when I hover over a movie clip I want the glow to animate on, and then animate back off when I mouse out.

I'm trying to add a glow filter to a single MovieClip out of a few I've got on my stage. This is what I've got so far but for some reason it applies the filter to absolutely every layer on stage, instead of just the one MC I want..

Come to think of it, all I'd really need would be a stroke, rather than a glow; but I don't know of any "stroke filter".. If the big picture would help at all, what I'm trying to do is "add" borders to a few (intersecting and growing) disk layer masks.. I'd like the stroke intersection to look like the "Liquid Form" found here: [URL]

View 7 RepliesI need to highlight a button's border, so I have created a glow filter like this:
<s:GlowFilter id="GlowFilter1"
color="0xD9D919"
blurX="30" blurY="40"
alpha="1"
/>
The problem is that I don't know to remove the effect. The effect remains in the opction as it was highlighted. Thus, I'd like to set a duration, or something that removes the effect I create.
I am trying to apply the glow filter to a dynamic text box when the text is clicked on. However this seems to be canceling the rest of my animations. The text glows for a moment or two when clicked upon, but then it disappears and the url address it is linked to does not appear. Below is the code I'm currently trying to use.
Code:
text1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, MouseDown);
var color:Number = 0x003366;
var alphas:Number = .8;
var blurX:Number = 5;
var blurY:Number = 2.5;

I've seen this a couple of times on different projects, not sure if it has something to do with how I positiion things, but curious if anyone else ever sees this. Sometimes when I add a GlowFilter to a MovieClip the MovieClip seems to move just a fraction.

Is it possible to add an eventListener in a main .swf's timeline that listens for when the external .swf reaches its last frame? What I would like to do is when the external .swf reaches its last frame, the next button on the main .swf's timeline would add the [glow] filter to the next button.
View 9 RepliesI was given the following code to establish a motion tween for five different movie clips. The code also ensures that a glow filter is applied at 5-second intervals. My user has now requested that the code be changed to ensure the following occurs:
Once glow filter has been applied to the darkBlue_mc and when the glow filter is beginning to be applied to the red_mc, then the glow needs to disappear from the darkBlue_mc, and so on through all five movie clips, so only the current movie clip should have the glow filter shown. When the glow filter is applied to the last movie clip, which is lightBlue_mc, then he wants all movie clips to have the glow filter applied after a five second delay.

View 2 RepliesI 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.

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.
This is what I am trying to do, but I am not sure if this ispossible with the constrains of AS3.I am trying to embed the font outlines to be used fordynamically created textfields by creating (using the Flash IDE) adynamic text field off of the stage, embedding the fonts in it andthen refer to the font when creating a TextField using code.
Here is some quick sample code...

View 2 RepliesI 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.
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..
View 1 RepliesCS4 and CS5 font embedding is different and when creating TextFields dynamically you need to do the code differently in both cases in order to ensure that the font is properly accessed by ActionScript 3.0.Is there any reason why the way that it worked in CS4 still works in CS5 ?
View 1 RepliesIs 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;

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.
Embedding a font in the engine/main file, does not require embedding the font individually in each swf file?
View 2 RepliesI'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.
