I just read the textFormat.kerning description and the wording puzzled me.Kerning adjusts the pixels between certain character pairs to improve readability, and should be used only when necessary, such as with headings in large fonts.Why should i only be used when necessary, if it improves readability of text?
View 9 Repliesproblem stated in my title. Attach is my code.
Code:
this.createTextField("myText",this.getNextHighestDepth(),23,72,300,400);
//bgPic._alpha = 25;
var titleS:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
titleS.font = "TradeGothic";

I'm using a font that has a kerning table with a TextField object to display text. However, it appears the kerning table is never being used.[code]I figured kerning=true would force the text field to abide by the font's kerning table. If I use the same font with the new Flash text rendering engine it seems to respect the kerning tables as expected, but at this point we can't switch to the new rendering engine.
View 0 RepliesWhat I'm doing is that I want to create textfields using flash and insert them into my HTML portfolio site.The reason I'm doing this is to be able to use special fonts, kern the text properly and customize the anti-aliasing. I tried with CSS but I don't have enough control using that (regarding kerning and anti-aliasing).I have created a Flash file that can load specific .txt files into the textfield of the SWF (so that the text becomes formatted), using FlashVars. I discovered that kerning in Flash doesn't apply to dynamic textfields unless you set it using actionscript. So I've tried to use the following code on my textfield:
---
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.letterSpacing = 3;

Is it possible to adjust the kerning of dynamic text?
View 7 RepliesI'm having an issue with a particular font where, when using dynamic textFields the kerning is all out of whack. When using static textFields, it's fine, and when I check "Use Device Fonts" it's also fine, but when using dynamic textFields with embedded fonts, everything is jacked. The font is Blender Pro Bold. Regular and Heavy work fine, but for some reason Bold is messed up. Is it just that there is a problem with the font?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to add kerning (letterspacing) in-between the numbers in a date counter?
For example lets say I have a date counter that counts the dates of a month (1,2,3,etc...) and I have two circles sitting side by side not overlapping. How would i go about adding a space in-between the numbers to have the number on the left in the left circle and the number on the right in the right circle? I believe it requires strings but I don't know enough to be able to code something like this at the moment.[code]...

Here is the current code that I am using:
Code:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
now = new Date();
nDate = now.getDate();
displayDate = nDate;
}
i cant seem to control the spacing in this dynamic text field using leading.[code]
View 1 Repliesi was hoping that someone might have an answer to my question. is there ANY way to dynamically change the kerning of an input box? i'd like to give users the ability to modify the kerning of my .swf file. i know flash allows you to change properties like font size, colour, alignment, etc., but i can't find a way to change the kerning property. i don't even think one exists for them. so is there any kind of work around to this?also, is there any reason why i can't use negative values for leading for the input box? it only allows me to use positive numbers when i try to change it dynamically.
