ActionScript 3.0 :: Fonts Will Not Embed - Characters Don't Display

Mar 24, 2010

I am trying to embed a font in my actionsrcipt and the characters don't display at all when the embedFont = true. If it is set to false it displays the characters. I really need this to work because I want to maintain consistency with the font used through out the site.

The problem is that its not a common device font. The TextField is set up in another class I created and the the text formating is applied when the for loop runs in the initialization of the class I'm working in. I've tried everything I can think of and it just will not embed the font and display it.

Jan 30, 2007

I am using the following line before my class declaration .

[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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Embed Fonts Using The Embed Button In "Properties"?

Apr 8, 2009

Is 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.

Flex :: Fonts - Displaying Thai Characters In FTE Components On Mac?

Nov 14, 2011

I am running into issues displaying Thai characters in Flex components that make use of the Flash Text Engine (FTE), specifically on Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.Here's a blurb of my compiler font managers in flex-config.xml:

<flex-config>
<target-player>10.2.0</target-player>
<!-- Specifies the version of the compiled SWF -->[code].....

Thai characters render correctly in mx components such as TextField so far. However, FTE components such as TextLine show those crappy-looking boxes as a substitution. My initial guess was that somehow one of the compiler font managers declared in flex-config.xml was not finding the right system font to fallback to for Thai characters. So, I ensured the system font was installed by going to System Preferences > Language and Text > Edit List. Then I changed fontFamily to Arial, Ayuthaya.Still was seeing the boxes of evil.

Next I figured that perhaps the Arial font might be assigning a box for each unicode value corresponding to a Thai character. So it was effectively overriding the Ayuthaya system font. So I changed fontFamily once more to just Ayuthaya and this worked with one issue - Ayuthaya looks inherently different from Arial for non-thai characters.is there a less invasive way to support Thai in FTE components such that the appearance of the text is closer to the Arial font? I would rather not embed a font because I'm constrained on SWF size.

Data Integration :: Dynamic Text, System Fonts, And Special Characters?

May 5, 2006

I've got a dynamic text area pulling text from a MySQL database via AMFPHP.The text includes special characters such as accents,umlauts, etc (multi-language site platform). Most of them work fine, and ALL of them work fine when I'm on a Mac client. However, if I use a Windows client machine in either Firefox or IE6, there are a couple characters that for whatever reason just don't seem to show up-instead I get the [] box character.

The only characters I've found that seem to be affected like this are European quote characters like ' " and " (hex characters 146, 147, 148). I'm using the familiar ampersand-pound-number-semicolon escape sequence for them. And like I said, they all display fine on Mac/Firefox and Mac/Safari. Why are all my other special characters (umlauts, accents, etc) working fine and just these things failing? It's also worth noting that they look fine if I dump them out to a PHP file and pull it up in a browser...

CS3 Can't Get Characters To Embed Properly

May 7, 2009

I have created a dynamic text box which is used to put the length of a sound clip (which is worked out using AS2).

I want to use a font which isn't standard - VAGRounded, so I need to embed the characters.

If I select Family : VAGRounded and Style : thin then all is well. Ditto if I pick style:light but if I pick Style:bold or Style:black then the nothing displays

In my windows font folder all 4 appear to exist.

I notice that exactly the same appears to happen with the times font too (except some of the family options are different)

When I open the font-mapping box it tells me that there aer some fonts that I can't use but there is not list of what they are.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Embed Fonts From Fla Ide To Flex

Jul 21, 2009

Since 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..

Professional :: How To Embed Fonts Using Code

Apr 2, 2010

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]

Professional :: How To Embed Fonts At Runtime (AS2 In CS3)

Nov 6, 2010

I have a shared fonts.swf file containing a variety of fonts that my main swf uses. I have a movieclip within the fonts.swf file which is exported for runtime sharing. In my main swf I have the fonts.swf imported for runtime via a movieclip. This all works fine and allows me to use the fonts within the fonts.swf file in my main swf. I am trying to work out how to import fonts.swf for runtime via as2 (instead of manually within the library), as in different circumstances different fonts are required and it is massively increasing the filesize having to import all fonts every time when only a few are needed.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Embed Several Fonts For Use In ONE Textbox?

Jul 23, 2007

I have a dynamic Textbox in my SWF. It is attached to a movieclip and can be moved around and such. All somewhat simple. That's not the issue yet

What I need to accomplish is for it to accept different non-standard Fonts (from a list of about 50 Fonts that need to be available). I don't care if it's done by using the "htmlText"-property of the textfield or the "font" property of the TextFormat object... or any other way- I just need it to work.

What I mean it- I need to find a way to get the characters of a bunch of non-standard Fonts (such as "Army.ttf" and "College.ttf") to be available in my SWF so that the textfield can draw from that resource.

I know how to use textfields and TextFormat (at least well enough, I think) and AS 2.0 in general (though I am certainly not a pro)... I know how to Embed a Font to a Textfield (not that that is an accomplishment. heh) I just can't seem to tie the loose ends.

I thought it might be enough to have some textfields in the SWF, "off stage" (one for every font I wanted to embed) and have *them* embed the font I want in order for it to be in the SWF file for the *dynamic* Textfield to use... but I guess it's not at all that simple.
