View 8 RepliesThe navigation buttons in my .fla file are set to the font, Arial MT in Bold. It displays no problem on my desktop computer. However, when I view the website on my laptops, the font changes to what looks to be something like Times New Roman. The same thing happens with my "Read More" button text. It's also originally in Arial MT Bold. On my desktop it appears fine but on my 2 laptops it appears to be in Times New Roman. This is more of an issue because I have these buttons underlined. When viewing in my laptops, these underlines appear to be too long. If I shorten it, it'll probably appear to be too short when I view on my desktop. How can I get the font to be one consistent font for all computers?

A client has sent me a Flash CS3 website template she was working on. I'm supposed to do some work on it. When I load it, it displays incorrectly. The body type appears incorrectly. It's different then what it appears on her computer. Causing all the body text to overlap each other. She has Windows Vista with Flash CS3. I'm using Windows XP Professional with Flash CS4.
When I open the file, it says that 'tahoma' font is missing on my computer. And asks me to select a replacement. Obviously, I have Tahoma on my computer -- everyone does. I even got her to send her version of Tahoma to me from her Windows Font Folder. When I tried to install it, it says "font already installed". So, I pointed it to my Tahoma font as a replacement. This could be the problem. But why does it not recognize my version of tahoma?
I have this function within my flash program that allows a person to make notes, at the moment they notes are just saved from a dynamic textfield to variable and hover around in flash output space, now I really need to get it so that when they click 'save' it exports the text from flash and saves it onto the users computer. I really don't want to use fscommand... and I know it can be done with PHP but trying to find a suitable tutorial is harder than I thought... so I would wondering if anyone could recommend a good tutorial or has done it before and can give some tips?

View 6 RepliesWell i have basically 2 input boxes, one is small and one is very big which has a scrollbar next to it. But for some reason, when you type text into the big input box, the text typed is size 20 around there; even though i have set the text size to be only 10.Its also on multiline so everything should be fine but i don't know why its not working?! Is there something i have to change?is will the scrollbar automatically be scrollable if too much text is entered? or do i have to put in some actionscript to make it do that.
View 6 RepliesUsing loadVars and importing variables into Flash through a text file, is there a way to automatically list all of the variables that are in the Text file? For example say my text file had these variables:
&foo=chuck&
&mario=luigi&
&frodo=hobbit&
If I didn't know the names of the variables foo mario and frodo, could I somehow scan the text file for all variables and simply list:
chuck, luigi and hobbit?

View 3 RepliesI am inputting text from an xml file into dynamic text boxes; I have static text boxes as titles of each.
making the dynamic text boxes expand if the xml text is of a larger size & moving the static text boxes so they don't start getting over written.
The code Ive used to put the text into the dynamic boxes is very simple:
var xmlData:XML = new XML ();var theURL_ur:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xml.xml");var loader_ul:URLLoader = new URLLoader(theURL_ur);loader_ul.addEventListener("complete", fileLoaded);

I have a text box that is about 300 pixels wide and can't be any wider. I also have a lot of text, so wordWrap and multiline are set to true. Works great! Only problem is that the text wrapping creates a lot of unused white space in the right margin of the box. This white space takes up a lot of room and looks kind of rough.
Is it possible to have Flash automatically hyphenate the text in the box to avoid the big white spaces along the right edge of the box?
I have trouble making a code that automatically writes the mouse's current x and y position as text every frame.
