I download the files for Lee's "Preloading in ActionScript 3" Tutorial and encounter a problem when I try to change the font family for the percent text. No problems when changing the size and color, just the family. Does anyone know why this happens? [URL]
View 5 RepliesI have a Movie Clip which consists of a text-box with some text in it.I am trying to tween this movie clip so it either moves randomly throughout the animation or have the movie clip bounce off the edges similar to a standard screen saver you might see. While slowly changing it's text through many different font families Is it possible to have a movie clip tween randomly through an animation and is it possible to change the text to many different families in a slow transition.
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flex 4. I'm trying to apply a embedded font in all Alert components of the application, to get the same style that all the app, of course. I code in my CSS file:
[Code]...
The font-family worked to all componentes, but not to the Alert component. In alert the text message and title got unvisible. If I change to other font-family it works correctly, just the embedded font doesn't work on Alert component. Anyone got this problem? Obs: The embedded font worked in all the app, just the Alert no.
I seem to have trouble setting the font size of the text of a legend item when the font family is set to Courier.
legendItem.setStyle("fontFamily", "Courier");
legendItem.setStyle("fontSize", 7);
doesn't work.

I have installed the entire Helvetica Neue LT font family on my PC running Windows XP. There are 51 different variants in this family. While I have had issues before with Flash not recognizing that the fonts I have are the same as those in a .fla file created elsewhere, I used to be able to just map the fonts to the same font (which might have a slightlydifferent name) in the font substitution window. However, I now find that, of the 51 variants, only 21 are available to me in Flash CS3. I have tried many different solutions, including uninstalling the fonts and rebooting and re-installing. I also found a forum that suggested I delete a particular Adobe file which caches the font list
View 1 RepliesIn Flex/AS3 font embedding has been totally revamped. You have to use the Embed tag. Simple embedding of a single font isn't a problem but when I try to embed multiple members of a font family, I get into trouble. I want to embed Helvetica and Helvetica Bold in one of my projects. Embedding Helvetica isn't a problem but I can't get the bold to work. If I just embed the bold font I get this error:
[Code]...
I'm trying to set a text field to arial, helvetica, sans AFTER I disable embedded fonts, but I'm having trouble with the CSS. This is what works for embedded fonts when I'm using English text:
Code:
.specialtext{
font-family:"MetaPlusBold" ;
font-weight:bold;
font-style:italic;
}
But then if I switch languages and therefore have the embed fonts = false I get a serif font. That's not surprising, because I can't use anything else in there... adding other font families doesn't help and "breaks" the embedded version:
Code:
font-family:"MetaPlusBold" , Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
btw, I have to use weight and style so it looks right when using device fonts. I guess I really need a way to set everything to "_sans" but not on the actual text fields themselves. That didn't work for me, because this doesn't help:
Code:
body {
font-family:"MetaPlusBold-Roman" ;
}
I have to set my text fields to the embedded font. They're dynamic but already on the stage so I can animate them easily.
I am working on a as3 project in which the user select a font from Combo Box and that font SWF should be loaded Dynamically and then i need to change the font of the Dynamic text field.
I have swf font files downloaded from [URL]
My question is that how can i load the font swf dynamically from server and add them to the library and how can i use that swf to change the font of dynamic text field.
if there are embedded fonts in library the i can access them using this- --
var fontList:Array = Font.enumerateFonts();
for( var i:int=0; i<fontList.length; i++ )
{
trace( "font: " + fontList[ i ].fontName );
}
But How to use dynamically loaded Font swf as a font type.

I am trying to use the External SWF Preloading Tutorial. Its a great tutorial, but when i try and load the swfs inside the holder it loses some of its functionality. The rollover states of the buttons work but when one clicks on the calender it does not work and some other things dont work also.

Does anyone know why this might be or if it has been answered before.
I got it to work by using loadMovieNum but then lost placement of the swf it keeps going to the top left. I would really like to use loadClip it seems alot more customizable.

View 9 RepliesSo in Illustrator you can "Find Font" in your document so you can pinpoint and change or delete text using that said particular font.In Flash I have a piece of text using an old font somewhere in my FLA (I've updated with a new one for all text since) and I'd like to locate it and either delete it or replace it with the font I'd like to use. When I open the file it prompts me in regards to me not having this old font any longer (the font I'd like to remove) and I tell it each time to use the newer font
View 2 RepliesI am loading a small scrolling text box dynamically from a .txt doc in the same folder, but I can't find anything about changing the font properties. No matter what changes I make to the code, the font stays size 12, times new roman, black. I want to change all three of these properties, but most of the related forum posts I have found are about changing the font for a given sentence, manually input into the AS. I need flash to list all font in the text file as Arial, 13, and white in color.This is being set up so members of managment can update news without needing flash to do so, so they obviously can't type everything into the AS.
Here is the code I'm using:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myTextField_txt:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField_txt.wordWrap=true;
myTextField_txt.width=200;
var style:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
style.size = "12";
style.color = "0xFFFFFF";
style.font = "Arial";
I have created a new font in the library with the settings required, and named it Arial, but this was still unsuccessful.
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {myTextField_txt.text = e.target.data;addChild(myTextField_txt);}
myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("myText.txt"));
i would like to modify the font weight of a word (my title) that is into a textfield that is "scrolled" : so when i modify this word, the whole text is being modified as well, and i can't write it in another textfield, because i want it to be scrolled as the rest of the text.Do i "have to" set the title and the text dynamically to change the font? or can i do it directly from the fla (which would save me some time, i have several texts in the same case)
