How do we load system fonts inside a comboBox?
I have written code to populate the system fonts and store it in an array.
var systemFonts:Array = new Array();
var fontNames:Array =new Array();
systemFonts = Font.enumerateFonts(true);

If myComboBox is the combobox instance, how do I get it to display the fontNames.?
I'm starting to localize my flash application.I'm trying to see if there is a way to rollback on default operating system fonts for languages like japanese so I don't have to embed them.So far I didn't find anything online.I'm currently using css to define the font family like :
@font-face
{
fontFamily: "Tuffy Regular";
src:url("/assets/fonts/Tuffy-Regular.ttf");
embedAsCFF: true;
}
Are there any fonts I can count on being on the user's system?I'm talking typical fonts like Arial, can I safely assume that it will exist? Or do I have to manually embed the ttf?

I am developing an application in Flash and am using a few system (?) fonts like Verdana & Tahoma. The application will use the fonts for static text display, dynamic text display & user input and it will be deployed on a web server to be accessed mainly by users in the US on Windows & Macintosh systems. I wanted to have a few special characters added to the font and so checked with one of the vendors of these fonts and he told me that if I'm using the font for text display (static & dynamic) its fine, but cannot use it for text input as that would violate the IPR/EULA of these two font.
View 1 RepliesI need to use multiple fonts in my Flex 4 application, so I compile them into swf and load at runtime. I have single .ttf file for each font. When I dont load font's swf file at runtime, flex uses copy of this font installed on my system, and it works fine - I can switch between regular, bold and italic faces of the font correctly.However,when I load fonts from swfs, setting their style to bold or italic makes no effect. I tried different ways of compiling swfs (css using mxmlc compiler, fontswf utility,.as files with [embed] tags), but nothing worked. When compiling using css it sometimes throw errors that font face is not supported, and it seems that some fonts are available only in bold-italic style only or bold style only.I use cff fonts, load them using etcs.ru.utils.FontLoader utility. Fonts are loaded correctly, I check this with Font.enumerate fonts.So is there any way to embed these .ttf files with all styles available?

View 10 RepliesAny thoughts on a good way to accomplish something along the lines of
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://myurl.com");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(event:Event):void {
System.setClipboard(loader.data);
});
It seems as if System.setClipboard() isn't available inside an event handler (which makes at least some sense given what I know about Flash security).get it to work? or block on the URL load so that I can then call setClipboard() in the main event flow?
I've got a dynamic text area pulling text from a MySQL database via AMFPHP.The text includes special characters such as accents,umlauts, etc (multi-language site platform). Most of them work fine, and ALL of them work fine when I'm on a Mac client. However, if I use a Windows client machine in either Firefox or IE6, there are a couple characters that for whatever reason just don't seem to show up-instead I get the [] box character.
The only characters I've found that seem to be affected like this are European quote characters like ' " and " (hex characters 146, 147, 148). I'm using the familiar ampersand-pound-number-semicolon escape sequence for them. And like I said, they all display fine on Mac/Firefox and Mac/Safari. Why are all my other special characters (umlauts, accents, etc) working fine and just these things failing? It's also worth noting that they look fine if I dump them out to a PHP file and pull it up in a browser...

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to load an XML file from the internet in a CD-ROM flash application and seem to be getting nowhere. The XML object needs to retrieve the results of a PHP script with 2 variables. The first being T (territory), and the second TYPE (type). The TYPE variable is currently fixed. In this situation, we will consider its value: 'bsc'. I have tried an on(change) handler on the ComboBox, and gotten it to at least produce the correct URL with both GET variables, but the XML object refuses to load.
I have tried using trace() outputs, the debugger, and every permutation of my code I can think of ... but with no results. I do know that my PHP code is working properly, and IS generating the output I exactly expect. What am I doing wrong, is there an access restriction between a local Flash file and the internet?

I am stumped. I have tried to load a comboBox with a for-loop to load k school names and can not get it to load dynamically. Here is what works:schools_cb.addItem({label:varLoad.data.school1});It manages to paste the name of school1 into the comboBox k times.Then, when I try:schools_cb.addItem({label:this["varLoad.data.school" + k]});orschools_cb.addItem({label:this.getChildByName("var Load.data.school" + k)});it brings up k blank entries in the comboBox.I am a poor teacher trying to make a signup page for our school's math contest
View 5 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.

I am trying to put a combobox inside a datagrid. I managed to get it this far:
[URL]
Shown in that image is my combobox, populated with data. The problem is that if I set the selectedIndex of the combobox to whatever value is in the corresponding cell, the user can no longer change the value of the combobox. What I mean is, you click on the combobox, a list appears to select from, but you can not select any item in that list.
Here's my code:
Code:
package
{
import fl.controls.listClasses.ICellRenderer;

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:

I found a tutorial that showed how to create a navigation system that would load external SWFs. I am trying to create an image gallery in essentially the same manner but instead of loading SWFs, I want to load external bitmap images.However, when I replace the SWFs with images, I keep getting an error message:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Bitmap@3e91d2e1 to flash.display.MovieClip.at image_Loader_fla::menu_1/isLoaded()
So obviously, it is trying to convert the bitmaps to movieclips. Due to my newbiness with AS3, I'm not really sure what I need to do with my existing code to fix this issue.I've provided a sample of the gallery if anyone wouldn't mind taking a look.
P.S. In the sample I provided, you will notice that on mouse-over, an external will load. The only one that won't work is the first one (Home) as it is trying to load an external PNG.

I am creating a site, and I have this navigation system inside the portfolio page. But it is not working. So it is like this it is built. Default.fla is loading portfolio.fla inside a movie clip loader. and the portfolio.fla has a navigation system for different portfolio pieces. I have set up the first one to work (dasa design). so, I need the outro to play of hm1.fla (first file loaded) and then play the intro of the Dasadesign file. I know this has something to do with the depth and so, but I have tried many ways but not succeeded. files are found here! [URL]

View 1 RepliesI have a datagrid.In this datagrid I have a combobox item editor. This datagrid also has multiple columns where a user inputs numbers in each column. These numbers are then calculated by formula where the sum is posted in the "total" column. In this combobox there are two options for the user to choose from and each option has a different formula for calculating the inputted numbers. What I want is for when a user chooses "option 1" one formula is used to do the calculation, when "option 2" is chosen by the user then formula two is used to the calculation.Here's an example:
Combobox Option 1 (formula 1) is chosen by user = (Column2 - Column1) x column3 = "total" column
Combobox Option 2 (formula 2) is chosen by user = (Column1 - Column2) x column3 ="total" column
I realize you would use a conditional such as "if else" statement, but im just not sure how to do it. I've been trying to implement this for a while with no success.
