ActionScript 3.0 :: Embed Font In Flash/XML?
Nov 3, 2009
I have for example the font Helvetica and than a different style from with for example extended thin or medium or whatever. This is something other's dont have at a computer. Now when I would upload my website with these fonts, others won't see this font eventhough it's an .swf file.
- How do I embed this in my Flash/Action script so they will also see this font?
- adding style to these fonts in actionscript, like letterspacing and other spacings...?
- also with email forms/text boxes...
changing colors for some words in the text and give it an break whenever it needs to etc...My other problem is that whenever I create an actionscript drawn Shape or Sprite. The text which is written with Action Script and also just with normal flash text, it's always UNDERNEATH the action script drawn box...

I have a swf A, which contains no font.If I download into it the swf F1, which contains few characters of Arial, then I'll have the arial font embed into A, no problem with that.But if, then, I download the swf F2, which contains other characters of Arial into swf A, will I be able to use all the embed characters font, only the F2, or only the F1 ?I'd like to have a link to somewhere where this is explained, even in very technical terms : I wasn't able to find one.
EDIT : After few tests, it seems that the player replace the loaded font... How can I merge them, then ?

Is it possible to embed a font in Flash and have it displayed as though it was a device font? In other words, can embedded fonts be aliased?Using the bitmap-text option doesn't work, Flash tends to screw up a lot of the character spacing. I haven't found any pixel fonts that mimic Arial, Verdana and Tahoma accurately. Setting the stage quality to low does alias the fonts but they become fragmented.Using device fonts is an option but, as far as I understand, some browsers/operating systems will take it upon themselves to anti-alias the text.

I bought a text scroller flash file and am now trying to tailor it to my needs.URL...It is composed of several movieclips which link to the an external text file. The external file starts off with this mytext= <font color="#000000" size="7">BACKGROUND</font> This file determines the size and color of the font but does not define the actual font itself, it also contains the content. There is a movieclip within the flash file where you can denote a device font or embed a font from the properties panel.Starting off I simply picked my font from the properties panel and used "anti-alias for animation". This seemed to work fine on the Flash preview and also once published online. However, once I used another computer to view my site the font changed and reverted to a default. This leads me to believe the font is linked to each computers font library. I am wondering if there is a way to override this and to link the font to a place on my server?I also tried to embed my font via the properties panel but it looks warped and unrecognizable, so thats out. Unless there is another way to embed fonts at stays true to the font? To add more fuel to the fire, the font I have to use is not html safe "Gotham" to be exact.URL,,,

I'm trying to embed the Chalet font to some dynamic text fields and it is causing the vertical position of the text to jump up above the actual textfield. (see screenshot) Is Chalet a messed up font? (or more likely, Flash is sooo screwed up in handling fonts) This font displays absolutely fine in Photoshop and Illustrator.

I am building a web site on flash for my very first time and I have a problem. When I see my project in another computer I can`t see the fonts I used. Flash replace them with others. I gues that's because they are not installed in the system I'm trying to use.How can I embed fonts to a text?

I have the following project structure: A Flex Project (SDK 3.3) Multiple SWCs with grafics and textfields that are used as components in the Flex project.
Since I have a lot of SWCs that all use the same font in dynamic textfields, I do not want to embed the font in every SWC.Instead I want to have a library (RSL?) with the font from where all the SWCs load the font.
I tried to build a library file with the fonts using the "Export for runtime sharing" feature in Flash.While it works perfectly when I stay in Flash, Flex throws an "internal build error" when I try to use these SWCs in Flex.

I am creating dynamic TextFields in actionscript 3.0. Like many others, my text disappears when I set .embedFonts = true; ArialSlim is embedded and exported for actionscript. I have successfully tested with trace(Font.enumerateFonts()); Interestingly enough, when I comment out the embed line (as shown below), the font works properly. Alternatively, .setTextFormat(); also works properly without the .embedFonts line.

I have a dynamic text field. I have added a font object in the library, and selected that embedded font for my text field. I am using the font size I embedded. I also opened the Embed window & selected the characters I want.
When I do all of this, the text does not display in the text field. If I select DON'T embed from the embed window, then my text shows up, although, not in the right font.

I wanted to use a special font (frenchscript mt) for captions I made in the dynamic text field. (My captions change depending on the image chosen and it has links too). I've done all kinds of embedding, including the new font symbol embedding method but nothing works. I test if embedding was done by removing the font from my fonts folder. But when I do this, the captions become Arial I even tried to put a plain dynamic text field on stage using the special font, but the same thing happens when I remove the special font from the fonts folder. What can I do to make sure that even users without this font will be able to view the caption in the special font??

I have index.swf and contact.swf.
I'm using the MovieClipLoader to load contact.swf into index.swf. contact.swf is placed in a movie clip with specific dimensions.
In contact.swf I have:
Code:
var myFmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFmt.color = 0x444444;
myFmt.font = "CorbelBold";
var metrics:Object = myFmt.getTextExtent("I love flash");
trace(metrics.textFieldWidth);
If I start contact.swf directly (not loaded into index.swf) it traces what I want.
If I start index.swf --> contact.swf is loaded into index.swf, then it traces something else. I found out that I have to EMBED the fonts in contact.swf AND index.swf to make it work.
Why do I have to embed the fonts in both .swf's ?

I am using three fonts of the Helvetica typeface,embedding them with the embed metatag, font files inside project, openType.I noticed that for some reason the bold font looks identical to the roman font.After 4 hours of ____, and testing with five fonts, it turns out that:
if i change the name of all the font files at once, and change the reference to them in the code, all of the fonts work the first time i publish. the second time i publish (without any changes except pressing publish a second time) some fonts overwrite others, randomly, for instance :
roman looks like roman
bold looks like roman,
light looks like roman,
black looks like black,
rounded looks like black.
the only way i can make sure that flash embeds all of the fonts, is to change *all* of their names and publish. additional info:second time i publish the swf filesize is much smaller than first time ( -flash really doesn't embed anything).traces to which fonts are registered show all fonts are there,no errors
using distinct fontnames
publishing cache disabled
restart doesn't help

I've been trying to simply embed a single font in my .swf webpage-- not with actionscript, just as a library symbol, using cs4-- the directions I've seen are pretty straightforward, but for some reason it's not displaying correctly on computers other than my own. I wonder if I've got the URL correct: should it just be "myFile.swf"?

But it generates errors:
