What is the most common way to change the font of a textField within a package. I read a little bit about styling the text in the textField with CSS, or possibly embedding the fonts, but I know little about accomplishing either.
View 3 RepliesI'm new to this and I'm following a tutorial on Kongregate.com that teaches you the basics of making a flash game. This is what the tutorial said to do:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;

I'm making a form and I add a DateField, and I would like to change the background font of the textField where the date selected is written but I don't know what I should change, I try with backgroundColor, Color, ColorFont and I just get to change the color of the text.

i tried this but i am not seeing the effect of it. Actually nothing happens.

Project: Simple Click Counter of two separate buttons.
Problem: Font size of clicks needs to be changed/increased.
link to .fla
Not sure where to place this code in the script below.(inserting it causes font to initially to be correct size of 20 but changes back to default when a mouse click is issued)[code]...
the 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.
View 1 RepliesI have a textfield that is filled by a querystring.
example: http://www.domainname.com?dName=Michael+&+Mary+Heatherbaum
myTextfield.text=myQueryStrings.dName.toUpperCase();
If the persons name is only 3 letters I want the font size to be 120 but based on the amount of characters, I would like to shrink the font size in order to fit the whole name inside the text field. I was playing with autosize, but couldn't get it to work.
making a textfield font size auto adjust accordingly?
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...
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
var tNew:TextField = new TextField();

i 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
In my application, I allow the user to change the font of a text field. They use a combobox component to select the font. Can I change the font of each individual label in the combobox to match the font it is named? Like, Microsoft Word style.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a as3 project in which the user select a font from Combo Box and that font SWF should be loaded Dynamically and then i need to change the font of the Dynamic text field.
I have swf font files downloaded from [URL]
My question is that how can i load the font swf dynamically from server and add them to the library and how can i use that swf to change the font of dynamic text field.
if there are embedded fonts in library the i can access them using this- --
var fontList:Array = Font.enumerateFonts();
for( var i:int=0; i<fontList.length; i++ )
{
trace( "font: " + fontList[ i ].fontName );
}
But How to use dynamically loaded Font swf as a font type.
I 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.
[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.
I load a text from an xml file which has a code like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><xml>

When i change the font size and font color i get the result i want.But when i try to change the font-family, or to make a part of text in italics or bold i fail to get what i want.I also tried this:
<font style="font-style:italic">my text</font>with no success
I 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?

I've got a flash document using AS3. It dynamically reads data from an XML file, and creates a bunch of single line textFields. Could be like this:
<XMLdata>
<Line>this is line 1</Line>
<Line>this is line 2</Line>
<Line>this is line 3</Line>
</XMLdata>
So, for each node, it would create a new TextField, and change the textField.y value so that they are "stacked" on top of each other. All this if fine, except that if you hae so many "lines" (or textfields) that the "stack" is taller than the Flash Document size. What I would like to do is have a scroll bar or something so you can scroll the stack of TextFields. Doesnt' even need to be a scroll bar. Maybe an arrow button at the bottom, and when you click on it, it scrolls down. One for up too.
I must say, that I've searched everywhere, from the documentation, to all sorts of guides and tutorials, but none say, how do I change the color and font of a textfield?

a. Embed a non standard font (ie; Frutiger etc...)

My scene has a TextField object. I set up my TextField as DynamicText because I need to change it programmatically.
How do I prevent mouse cursor change to I-Beam form when it's above TextField? Also, user of my flash application is able to select text of this TextField using mouse cursor. I would like to disable this behavoiur too.
A tlf textfield still cannot embed a font and still cannot have a stroke applied to it? These should have been added.... very important...
View 2 Repliestrying 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.

I 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?

just copy it into the first frame and fix it and copy it back i know its something really simple but for the life of me i cannot figure it out.
We 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.
