ActionScript 3.0 :: Write An Editor, Which Only Outputs Bold (<b>) And Italic (<i>) Tags
Feb 7, 2009
i have a problem with the flash textFormat. I want to write an editor, which only outputs bold (<b>) and italic (<i>) tags and not the other information flash adds to an htmlText.
for example in this case the output trace (myTextField.htmlText) should be exactly the input.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.text.TextFormat;
myTextField.htmlText = "huhuh <b>asjdja</b> asdasd";
trace (myTextField.htmlText);
is there a cleaner solution than replace the other information (font-size etc)

I'm loading an xml file into flash. I have formatted certain parts of the xml file with various html tags, however I run into problems with the <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> tags. Even though I have <a href> and <ul> tags working fine?
I have set my text field to html while also using the "myTextfield.htmlText = " as well as using the CDATA tag in the xml file. I also checked the macromedia livedocs, and it says that these tags are standard and are handled by the flash player...

I've imported four fonts into the Library and used Linkage to enable Export for Actionscript. The fonts are the four versions of Trebuchet MS:
Trebuchet MS
Trebuchet MS Bold
Trebuchet MS Bold Italic
Trebuchet MS Italic
They are named like this in the Library and for example the 'Bold Italic' version has both 'bold' and 'italic' selected in its properties.
Then I drew a dynamic textfield and selected for it's font 'Trebuchet MS Bold Italic*' so that the embed font was used. I also embeded the glyphs for 'Basic Latin' and 'Latin 1'.
Then I used this code to fill it with text:
ActionScript Code:
my_txt.embedFonts = true;
my_txt.text = "This is a sample";
The text is placed, however, it is always in the Trebuchet MS regular font. Also when I click the bold and italic icons in the Property Bar, the font won't go bold/italic. The same for just bold and just italic. It only turns bold/italic when I delete all font symbols accept the Bold Italic one.

I've been trying everything with this issue so thought I'd put it out there to see if anyone can offer a solution or even advise if this is possible or not.This is the scenario:
I dynamically create a textField. I load an external CSS file into a stylesheet. From an XML file I load HTML content into the textField via .htmlText I have added the font to the library and have made it available for Export for ActionScript The HTML has spans with classes eg:
<span class="boldText">Flash Flash Flash</span>
The CSS states:
.boldtext {
font-family:Anivers;
font-style:italic;
[code]....
The font I'm using does not have any other family members like bold or italic Here is the problem. Leaving embedFonts = false things work just fine. But obviously I need to embed this font so all can see it. As soon as i set embedFonts = true I no longer get bold or italic.Is this a case of because the font does not have a bold or italic the system it just rendering, or am I just missing something? For example the checkboxes in the font's properties where you can choose bold and italic. I tried these but no luck.

I can access the read only text property of a StaticText instance (added at design time) by using "for(i=0; i <this.numChildren; i++) .... etc".I can use this text, I can trace it, etc, and I know that you can't write to it (ie its read only). BUT can I some how test that text to see if it is bold/italic/regular?[code]The charCode is the same bold or not, sort of obvious after I think about it.

How can I embed my custom font and it's bold variant (and it's faux italic variant, because there is not real italic version) and get the b and i tags working in a htmlText field?I can use the htmlText field with system fonts (with b and i tags working) ... or I can use 1 of the embedded fonts for the whole text.but I can't seem to get flash to understand the bold and italic variants are also embedded.
createTextField("dynamic_txt", 2, 40, 170, 350, 350); dynamic_txt.embedFonts = true; var emphatic:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); emphatic.size = 40; emphatic.color = 0xFFFFFF; emphatic.font = "EurostileT"; dynamic_txt.html = true;[code]...

I have a dynamic text field with the text "IMAGES". The font is Arial, it has BOLD and ITALIC checked, and has basic Latin fonts embedded. Now, I use Actionscript to change the text:
textField.text = "IMAGES";
Suddenly the text disappears! Now, it seems to me that since BOLD and ITALIC are checked on the text field, changing the .text value should simply change the text itself, which should then be rendered in bold and italic, and since I have bold+italic Latin glyphs embedded, it should display properly. But what's clearly happening is that when I set the text using Actionscript, it is attempting to display the NORMAL font instead, and since it's not embedded, it won't display. I know this because if I create another proxy text field off the screen and embed the NORMAL Arial glyphs, the original text field's text will display just fine - as normal-weight text.
But why is this? Do I have to use a TextFormat object to set the text to Bold and Italic EVERY time I want to dynamicaly change the text? This seems silly. I simply want my text field to be bold and italic every time the text changes, and NO normal text!

I am putting the finishing touches on an as3 project (developped in flex for code and flash cs4 to create the UI) and I am running into a mysterious font issue.
1) I am loading in a swf file with the font outlines (empty dynamic textfields with embedded characters on the stage. One text field for each regular / bold / italic / bold italic font styles).
2) I then load the swf and then in order to make sure that all font faces are properly available I list them in the output window with the following function:

I have an HTML string that uses bold and italic tags which I need to apply to a TextField. I need the font to be embedded though and I can't seem to find a way to do this. From what I've read it seems that Flash needs to use the actual bold/italic versions of the font rather than just changing it with HTML? In which case I can't do it all in one textfield because you can't change font? The only solution I found was a suggestion to use the [Embed()] method rather than the method I am using (embedding the font in a library symbol) but I don't think you can do that either with Flash CS3?

I have a client that I build a business card "builder" application for in Flex. All the text elements that users add to the stage are Flex spark TextArea. I have a list of fonts that we allow the user to set on the text areas and some of the fonts included do have Bold and Italic versions of the font. The others that do not I simply disable these options in the control panel so the user doesn't have the option to click bold or italic buttons.
Photoshop does something similar if you load a font that doesn't have Bold or Italic options they disable the dropdown that would allow you to select these options in the text pallet http://grab.by/bOTC
When bold and italic aren't an included font face then Photoshop as a couple of buttons for applying Faux Bold and Italic to the font. Basically they programmatically thicken up the font face or slat it to make it look italic.
I've tried just setting fontWeight and fontStyle on the fonts that don't have bold or italic included in the embedded fonts and the result usually is a "web safe" font shows instead of the selected font or nothing at all happens.
I am wondering if there is a programmatic way that anyone has found that will do this in Flash / Flex. Basically thicken the font face or tilt it slightly to look italic. My guess is this would be pretty difficult and not worth the time and effort to the client but would be a neat thing to figure out and have a solution for.

I'm using HTML text formatting with a Textfield. At the moment the <u> underline tag works fine but the <b> bold tags don't work or the italics tag doesn't work either. I read somewhere that a font with bold and italics needs to be "available". I'm just using a textfield with Arial as the font - which is embedded.

I have WYSIWYG text editor for flash. Works great. Allows me to edit text, save it as a text file and then load it either back into flash or alternatively into HTML. Problem is that Flash uses the <font> tag which is deprecated in HTML4 and will be removed in HTML5 due to CSS. So given that flash can use CSS I wonder:Is there a way to build a WYSIWYG text editor in Flash that uses CSS ?Has anyone heard of this being done? or even done it them selves I'm after any information at all even if it's just a reason why it won't work or assurance that it will.

-Adobe CS3 Web Premium. -Compiling using AS3. I'm pulling in some text values from an external XML file for a "next" button and I set the font to bold when I made it Verdana. I'm not sure why but it still is normal verdana when I compile it.
I've found several posts similar to mine saying I need to embed the bold version of the font, but I don't have the option of purchasing or creating a bold Verdana. Since it is just Verdana, is there not a method I can use to simply bold the text?
