View 5 Repliesmy web site has a lots of text field. it is xml based site.it is locally run perfectly but after i upload it to my server it's text fields' fonts replace to default fonts.some text gone down.so its confused to me.i used Myridpro font.now it is replace to default font .can u tell what is the solution for that..?

View 1 RepliesI save my (embedded) fonts in an external file (fonts.swf) that gets loaded at runtime. Pretty standard. I also use a bunch of UI artwork generated in the Flash IDE. Some of this artwork contains static textfields (thus, not proper TextFields that can change. Just frozen glyphs). Here's the problem: if I use the same font in any static textfield and then embed that same font into my collection of runtime fonts, the runtime font will refuse to render. It's the same effect you get if you set a textfield with embeddedFonts=true to use a font that isn't embedded. If I change the static textfields to use a different font, the runtime fonts work just fine.

Edited Short Version:The Adobe Flash docs list a property embedFonts on TextAreas:
A Boolean value that indicates whether the font specified in fontFamily is an embedded font. This style must be set to true if fontFamily refers to an embedded font. Otherwise, the embedded font is not used. If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed. The default value is false. Regarding the "If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed" statement: How can I detect in ActionScript when this scenario happens?
TL;DR Original Version: I have a flash application which loads external .swf files containing embedded fonts, so that these fonts can be used within the main application. We're accomplishing this by using the following ActionScript code on anything which uses custom fonts:
[Code]...
Right I can upload the font to the server.But the only examples I can find - require registerFont(Verdana);Which means I'll need to create a new SWF with the new font embedded and reupload to the server. I need an automated way of doing this or perhaps something different altogether?
View 2 RepliesI've recently had to format my computer and now having a problem with the flash actionscript window: the actionscript text looks like bold, or in a different font. The problem is that when I search for something like "flash" and "fonts", no matter which other words I use, always comes a lot of things about fonts for flash files, or for flash embedding fonts, but never for the program itself. Wich font is missing in my system that flash CS3 needs?

Is there a way to get a unique machine-specific system ID in a Flex application running in a browser, so that is can be used for example to determine if the machine is properly licensed to run the application?
View 5 RepliesCS3, actionscript 3.0 -- I'm creating a menu page (that looks similiar to a standard DVD menu.) It loops, has graphically rich layers done in photoshop, buttons on top layer.I'm importing the PSD file/layers. The larger background layers have transparency with blend mode and rotate to create a galaxy turning type effect. As I expected -- testing the SWF in browser, it is clear that stagequality.LOW is best to get realistic smoothness due to graphic demand of a big, cloudy turning galaxy.
I would like for the buttons and graphics above the galaxy to have .BEST quality setting to smooth them out.When I set the stagequality unique to each mc, I notice in the SWF that the background though set to LOW, has assumed the setting of button.mc stagequality. Now, I thought about creating a base SWF for the StageQuality.low galaxy layers and then using a loader to place buttons (in seperate SWF) on top of that at high stagequality.It would seem reasonable to want to assign different stage.quality settings to different movieclips to reduce CPU load to minimum while having flexibility to decide which mc gets what quality setting.
I am trying to store data in an object about different objects, but right now i am using their names. This was working at first but if I have 2 movieclips of the same class (from the library), then their children will both have the same names and this messes with my data storage.

View 2 RepliesI'm wondering if it's possible to create variables in a for loop that uses an incrementing number in the variable name.
This is the code I've tried (as a long shot) but isn't working:
var i:Number;for(i = 1; i < 10; i++){ var ["number" + String(i)]:Number = i;}
trace(number5);
What I'm trying to create here is a series of variables called "number1", "number2", "number3", etc. Is there another way of doing it? I'd need them to be public (I think that's the term?), so they can be used elsewhere in the script.

View 2 RepliesWhen we reference a SWF file from our ASP.NET page we append the version number to the SWF url, like App.swf?1.1.0.0. In a recent update, Firefox has continued to use a cached swf even when the version number changed, App.swf?1.2.0.0. We haven't noticed this behavior in other browsers.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? We don't want to disable caching completely. At this point we're probably going to change the name of the swf for each version, like App.1.2.0.0.swf, which seems a bit excessive.
I have made a short script to generate some random numbers that must be unique. But it doesn't work as I thought it would have done! What is wrong in my code? Preciate some help to change my code so that generate unique random numbers.

I'm trying to find a simple way to solve this problem: I have an array of integers and need to find the highest value that is unique.Specifically, my array holds player scores. Ex: (4,7,6,5,2,7)I need a function that will give me the highest score that it is not tied with another score. So for the example above, it would return 6 (not 7 since there are two 7's)

View 3 RepliesI have a for loop that runs depending on the length of an XML file. What I want to do is create a unique text field for each run through of the loop, and give it it's own position on the stage, and finally assign it the text from an external text file that is specified in the XML file. Everything I know how to do except creating the textfields.

This code creates only one Text Field, but then replaces it's text with new text with each run through.
