ActionScript 3.0 :: Use Specific Font, Swf Size Too Big?
Oct 12, 2011
I have a pure AS3 project and I want to use a specific font. The problem is when I embed this font, my swf application is too big.I saw I can specify unicode range to embed just the characters I need. This seems to be usefull especially for asian fonts but it's a latin font and I need all the letters it contains.I saw I can load the font dynamically, but I need it everywhere in the application, from the home page,
Why do the dynamic text font size appears smaller than what I specified in the flash dynamic text properties? I used a font size of 50 for the dynamic text and when I test movie, it appears to be only a font size of 12. Why is it so?
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 a list of fonts obtained via Font.enumerateFonts() and I want to display them all as 12 pixels tall. The problem is that I cannot simply set the point size because this can vary in actual pixel size for each font. So basically I want to determine what the correct point size is for a font in order to make it exactly 12 pixels tall. Because I'm doing this with a potentially large list I'm looking for an efficient method to do this.
While creating one photo gallery I am facing one problem in controlling the Font Color, Font Size and other characteristics of a text loaded into a text field from an XML File. The name of the text field in question is �my_txt� it loads the title from the xml file attached herewith. how I can control the behavior of the text loaded in that text field.
is there a way to embed certain characters instead of embedded the entire font package which would increase my file size tremendously. I tried creating a textbox and type in the characters I need in hopes that would embed those characters but that didn't work.
For this project I'm working on currently I've had to create a Font Symbol and select 'Bold' in order for the 'Bolded Font' to display in my dynamic text box.I'm just wondering, is there a way to only select uppercase A - Z to be embeded with the Font Symbol, rather than the whole font?Note I had to create the font symbol as this is the only way to attach the 'bolded' version - Else I would be using the 'Embed Font' button and selecting which characters I wanted.
We have a serious issue while saving images from a flex editorOur editor is adding some text to images and php script (imagick) is saving that image by receiving all parameters from Flex editorThe problem we think is because of the font measurement in flex and in php. In flex fontsize is calculated in pixels and in php it is calculated in points. Hence when we write a text "Hello" in flex with fontsize "10" and while we write the same text with same font size in php looks different
When embedding fonts programmatically, (example here), is it possible to specify certain characters as you might if embedding within the Flash IDE?Here is my code so far, which simply embeds the font. It works, but I am assuming that it is embedding an entire character set.
i just figured out that the flash on my resume website is messed up on a lot of computers! how embarrassing! im running windows 7 64 and it looks fine on the top 5 browsers here, but on some computers the font is large enough to split words in my menu bar and send half of the word to the next line! {URL]
I don't know whats going on but my code is not changing the size of my text.I have a toggle button that works great on everything exept the text size.I have a text dynamic text field called myText and here is the code I'm using.
function maisLegendaF(e:MouseEvent):void{ var formatT:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); if(!e.currentTarget.toggle){[code].....
In my movie, I have a dynamic textfield on the timeline starting the first frame and going to the end. At various points during the movie, I change the text in the textfield (and that works just fine), but I also want to change the font-size when I do that. I've tried using setTextFormat to a different TextFormat object, but that doesn't seem to work. Maybe someone has a better idea?
I am trying to implement a large font for sIFR, but it seems to have a ceiling where you cant go any higher. I have adjusted the the variable MAX_FONT_SIZE within the sIFR.as to no avail. Is this possible or is it a limitation with flash?
I would like to display a set of Text like this "DISCONTINUED (02-02-2012) Crocin" in label. But i need smaller font size for Date. How can I set the value to Label so that I can display smaller size font for Date.
I only need to assign a single string to label? like this "DISCONTINUED (02-02-2012) Crocin"
How do I use a comboBox to change Font Size of a textfield?
What's Working I have all the sizes loaded into the comboBox - when clicked it displays all the possible font sizes (ie. 4 - 40 for my uses). The thing is when I click it it doesn't do anything.
I really don't know where to start getting this to work. I did the easy part. I know there are text Editors (and even better ones that cost), but I'm wanting to 1) know what I'm doing and 2) have it just change the font size.
Current Settings Publishing with AS 2.0 and using the ComboBox Component that comes with MX2004 (F7)
Script
Code: sizeListChange = new Object(); sizeList.addEventListener("change", sizeListChange); myTextFormat = new TextFormat();
trying 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.
Code: public static function makeTextbox(target, clipName, depth, w,h,fontSymbol, nColor,nSize,txValue){

I'm using Flash CS5 and AS3. I've made a form using the library's "User Interface" object and I want to change the font size for the TextInput and TextArea fields but I can't find any option in their properties to change it.
I've tried this code var myTextFormat: TextFormat = new TextFormat();myTextFormat.size = 14;email_txt.setStyle("textFormat", myTextFormat);
even though I don't get any error while publishing, my page doesn't appear, if I remove this code the page comes back to work.
Does anyone know why the font size in flash is smaller than in Microsoft .NET GDI+.Does anyone know how much smaller?Does anyone know how to calculate the font size to get the 2 to match?
I'm working on some banners in various sizes and I noticed that I can only enter a font size in full pixels but not in decimals. I can type them in but noting happens to the size.
