Flash :: Textfield Embedded Font Only Adjusts According To Textfield Height?
Jun 14, 2011i would just like to ask why is the case that when i use embedfonts = true on a textfield, the textfield's text only resizes according to the textfield's height but not the textfield's width. meaning if i make the textfield's height bigger, the text also gets bigger in terms of height, but not width, can't the embedded font maintain aspect ratio according to the textfield height?
I'm only wondering about this because this is not the case when embedfonts= false
Actionscript 3 :: Possible To Use A Non-embedded Fallback Font When Using An Embedded Font With TextField?
Sep 10, 2010I 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?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Textfield Max Font Size?
Jan 16, 2008trying to build a Textfield dynamically in AS2/F8. I can't seem to get the text size to be larger than 127, and I am wondering if there is an upper limit when building them in AS. I have a class that has the following static method, which works well (for any size less than 127 apparently) If I pass in 200 as my nSize arg, when I trace(t.getTextFormat(0,1).size) i get 127 every time.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Embedded Font - Rotate TextField
Dec 12, 2009I Was playing around with fonts for hours. Trying to rotate textField, but as we know text disappears when fonts are not embedded. I want to let users to be able all the fonts they have on their system, but embedding massive amount of fonts is not a smart idea, because the application get bigger and slower while publish/loading just because user need to rotate selected font. Embedding one or two fonts isn't bad, but this limits users not be able to use the font their liking.
I was wondering maybe embedding selected font on fly isn't all that bad idea, but is it possible to load fonts from user's local folders according to their OS and embed them on fly? won't the application become huge and slow?

IDE :: Flash CS3 - Incorrect Font Assigned To TextField
Mar 9, 2009We are having some issues with phantom TextFields in our projects and about 5% of the files I encounter have a TextField with an incorrect font (which is how I know they exist). However, these TextFields don't show up in the "Movie Explorer", nor "Find and Replace", nor can an JSFL scripts find them. So the only way to hunt them down it to delete the elements in the Library until the Font in question no longer shows up in the Missing Font Warning on startup. I revert the file in SVN and dive into the components and then select the Textfields and without question there is a Textfield that had the incorrect font assigned to it.

Then exported this movieclip for use in ActionScript. This movieclip's class is called TF_Container Then I embedded and exported for AS a font called NeonFont.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Font Symbol And Dynamic TextField
Dec 29, 2004I am trying to use a font symbol from an external shared library. When I place the script below in my frame, trying to format a textfield on the stage, the textfield disappears. Only when I place another element (from the same shared library) in the stage, the textfield responds to the script. Although, when I tried to create a static text using the same font symbol, the dynamic textfield dissapeared, while the static text got the font symbol without any trouble.
var myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.color - 0x999999;
myFormat.font = "Harmony";//Harmony is the Identifier of the symbol
myFormat.size = 16;
_root.my_txt.embedFonts = true;
_root.my_txt.text = "Some text";
my_txt.setTextFormat(myFormat);

Jun 25, 2008I try to use an external StyleSheet with an embedFont. But as soon as I switch embedFonts to true, nothing happens anymore.The font is embedded in an dynamic TextField on the library (so I can embed parts of the font and doen't have to import the whole font), it's definitively there, I can find it width enumerateFonts and use it with TextFormat. But if you click here, you see the un-embedded TextFields most likely in an alternative Font (wich both are shown correctly on my system), the correct embedded-font TextField with TextFormat but nothing on StyleSheet with embedded font.[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Embed Font With Inline Css For Textfield Htmltext?
Aug 20, 2010I am having a major issue with a textfield. I have a dynamic text field which receives html so its htmlText I cant use the regular textFormat as the overrides the bold tags in the html. So I need to use css. Minor complication I have to do inline css as I cant load external data due to the project specs. Not a problem I have done inline css pretty easy. But they want a non web safe font. Again no prob I can embed fonts via the library. The problem is getting the css to use the embed font from the library. I have tried adding the font as a object to my code and then in the css referencing it via myfont.fontName, as a string etc.. 5

View 1 RepliesActionscript 3.0 :: Dinamically Change The Font Size To Fit In A Textfield?
Sep 30, 2010the idea it's to have a textfield of 200px width where the username gets loaded. The thing is that i need the font size to be as big as possible to fit in that textfield. So if the username is shorter the font size should increase if the username is longer the font size should decrease. So I am guessing i should be counting character and knowing how big each character is and then according to that make a mad algorithm to set the font size to make the text fit.
