Flash :: Crashes After Changing Font
Feb 17, 2010
I experienced a very strange problem today. As I was working on my FLA file, I tried to paste some text into a static text field using CTRL+V (I am using Vista Home Premium). However, at the time the focus was on the font field in the property window instead of on the text field and all the text I wanted to paste replaced the font name. As I tried to open the font drop down list to select the correct font flash crashed.
Since then I have not being able to open any FLA files. Flash starts without a problem, but if I try to open any FLA file it crashes again. I also tried creating a new FLA file but without success. I copied the FLA in question to another machine and there the file opens without a problem, so the file itself is not corrupted.

I am assuming that the long text I copied in the font field somehow had corrupted Flash and maybe I have to reinstall it.

I have been using both a tutorial and a post I found on here regarding changing the fonts on the list component.
I put a list componenet on my stage and named it: myFlashList
I set up the font to embed and set up the linkage as described.
Here is my code thus far:
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import fl.managers.StyleManager
import fl.controls.List
var stencilReg:Font = new stencilReg();

I have created an animation where I have pictures and text accompanying the pictures sliding in and out. However, I want to change the font of the text across the entire animation. What is the easiest way to do this? I have found when I have tried it, (changing the font in the text box) that sometimes it throws the whole animation out for each key frame that has that text (if this makes any sense). In other words, suppose I change the font in keyframe 1, the change it at the next keyframe, sometimes the second keyframe is no longer consistent with the first, perhaps only slightly and therefore the animation can run a bit choppy as it goes from keyframe to keyframe.

how to make this:
Code:
format = new TextFormat();
format.bold = true;
tfield.setTextFormat(format);
into something like this:
Code:
var col = new Color(this.background);
col.setRGB(0xf4faff);
I'm no AS expert but i think the first example changes the font from outside of the object and the second example from inside the text object.how to make the "this.background" in the second example into "this.whatever points to the font".

When I publish the movie I get an error saying "Statement must appear with on/onClipEvent handler"
Ok, I understand that, but putting an onClipEvent handler in still doesn't work.

I'm using Flash CS5, and dcepending on what the user does, I'm changing the font in a dynamic text box using
gFormula = "Na<font face='GG Superscript Sans'>+</font>"
txt_Names.htmlText = gFormula
The correct font appears on the computer where the font is installed but not on other computers, so I assume that it is a font embedding problem. I have embedded the font.

change the font of a Textfield at runtime. I know how to embed fonts into an SWF and I know a little bit about the TextFormat() Class, but I can't seem to be able to change fonts when there is text already in a dynamic or input TextField

I have a static area that I'd like to fill completely with text regardless of whether the text is 30 characters or 2 characters. More specifically the user has to find a certain number of any given letter before moving on in the game and I'd like their progress to be displayed in this static area.
So first I tried scaling the TextField but the text inside stays the same size.
Then I tried putting the TextField inside a MovieClip, turning on autoSize, then scaling the MovieClip but that distorts the text too much because autoSize doesn't retain the original proportions of the TextField.
This makes me think that the best solution would involve dynamically changing the size of the font to fit all of the characters inside a given area.

I have a list component in my flash movie, and I managed to change the look of it by going into it and physically changing the assets, but I don't know how to change the font size/color/family.I've seen lots of documentation, but nothing complete, and definitely nothing that I can paste into my document.

have created a scrolling text area in flash CS3 using a dynamic text box with text inside controlled by a couple of buttons using the .scroll property to add to the scroll value on each click of a button.i am wanting to add two new buttons to decrease and increase the font size of the text within the dynamic text area, which i thought should be fairly easy. i found a .size property which could be applied to text, but i do not think i am using it in the right way. here's what i have tried to do (where 'myText' is the instance name of my dynamic text area):
on (release) {
var myFormat = myText.getTextFormat();
myFormat.size += 10;

Not really a AS3 issue, but I'm having a bunch of trouble changing the font size in a text field that pulls data from and XML file. I've changed every font size with the css file, but it doesn't result in any changes with the swf. If it's really that simple the XML and CSS are both here. Or if more is needed, here is the entire project.

I'm running CS3 and using AS2. I'm not new to Flash, but this is a new problem that suddenly just started happening.My text is displaying at the wrong size within flash, and when I export it, the text looks completely different. It's making it extremely difficult to work on my site, because any graphics I align with the text are way off when I preview the file.
I attached an image showing what I mean- notice how the green bar didn't change size, but in the preview image, the bar is way longer than the text. I have been working on this site for a while, and I had no trouble with it until today. Now all of my text in all of the files is screwed up in flash, but still looks fine in the html page.. I need to get this fixed so I can keep working on it!
