IDE :: Can't Embed Special Font
May 2, 2009
I wanted to use a special font (frenchscript mt) for captions I made in the dynamic text field. (My captions change depending on the image chosen and it has links too). I've done all kinds of embedding, including the new font symbol embedding method but nothing works. I test if embedding was done by removing the font from my fonts folder. But when I do this, the captions become Arial I even tried to put a plain dynamic text field on stage using the special font, but the same thing happens when I remove the special font from the fonts folder. What can I do to make sure that even users without this font will be able to view the caption in the special font??

I bought a text scroller flash file and am now trying to tailor it to my needs.URL...It is composed of several movieclips which link to the an external text file. The external file starts off with this mytext= <font color="#000000" size="7">BACKGROUND</font> This file determines the size and color of the font but does not define the actual font itself, it also contains the content. There is a movieclip within the flash file where you can denote a device font or embed a font from the properties panel.Starting off I simply picked my font from the properties panel and used "anti-alias for animation". This seemed to work fine on the Flash preview and also once published online. However, once I used another computer to view my site the font changed and reverted to a default. This leads me to believe the font is linked to each computers font library. I am wondering if there is a way to override this and to link the font to a place on my server?I also tried to embed my font via the properties panel but it looks warped and unrecognizable, so thats out. Unless there is another way to embed fonts at stays true to the font? To add more fuel to the fire, the font I have to use is not html safe "Gotham" to be exact.URL,,,

I'm trying to embed the Chalet font to some dynamic text fields and it is causing the vertical position of the text to jump up above the actual textfield. (see screenshot) Is Chalet a messed up font? (or more likely, Flash is sooo screwed up in handling fonts) This font displays absolutely fine in Photoshop and Illustrator.

I have a swf A, which contains no font.If I download into it the swf F1, which contains few characters of Arial, then I'll have the arial font embed into A, no problem with that.But if, then, I download the swf F2, which contains other characters of Arial into swf A, will I be able to use all the embed characters font, only the F2, or only the F1 ?I'd like to have a link to somewhere where this is explained, even in very technical terms : I wasn't able to find one.
EDIT : After few tests, it seems that the player replace the loaded font... How can I merge them, then ?

Is it possible to embed a font in Flash and have it displayed as though it was a device font? In other words, can embedded fonts be aliased?Using the bitmap-text option doesn't work, Flash tends to screw up a lot of the character spacing. I haven't found any pixel fonts that mimic Arial, Verdana and Tahoma accurately. Setting the stage quality to low does alias the fonts but they become fragmented.Using device fonts is an option but, as far as I understand, some browsers/operating systems will take it upon themselves to anti-alias the text.

I made a page with a dynamic textfield which gets its text from an xml file.The text is italian, so contains characters as. None of these are recognised if I test my page, instead of these letters I see blank spaces. -I tried with embed, include special characters autofill, but that didn't do anything. -I read an article on this site about embedding international characters which says to put System.useCodePage=true; I did so, but got an error message. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

I've created dynamic textfield and textformat, I also embedded the fonts but, special characters(like č,ģ,ļ,ķ,ņ) won't show up, how to embed them? In library I have my specific font with linkage name myFont. Here's the code :
[Code]....
From Flash UI I would go to dynamic text properties -> embed fonts and then manually enter desired special characters. But how to do it with code? Seriously I searched a lot and can't find the answer, surely there must be a way how to do it properly with actionscript.

Code:
myText.html = true;
myText.embedFonts = true;
myText.multiline = true;
myText.wordWrap = true;
var myVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
[Code]...
What should I do to also embed special characters? I thought importing font symbols should take care of that?

I'm planning a webapp. I have all the wireframes defined, the interfaces designed in photoshop, data structures etc. It will be built on php and mysql however I've been unable to decide on which technology to use as a GUI. All your insights are welcome.
The problem with going the html way is that the GUI makes use of a special font that is crucial to the visual aspect of the app. So this font is required. For headers and fixed sections I could do sfir or use images but being a webapp, the amount of dynamically generated content makes it imposible to use image replacements. Enter flash. Flash solves the font problem easily, it even adds font antialiasing and animations which makes it look even sexier. Another pro is being able to deploy as an air app to use local storage for users that have troublesome connections. This way when internet access is restored the app can sync with the main servers. BUT... flash is being ignored by major developers, this would mean the app wouldn't be accessible to mobile devices, ipads,search engines, etc and requires the installation of the flash plugin which is not that big a deal but should be considered.

I have a dynamic text field. I have added a font object in the library, and selected that embedded font for my text field. I am using the font size I embedded. I also opened the Embed window & selected the characters I want.
When I do all of this, the text does not display in the text field. If I select DON'T embed from the embed window, then my text shows up, although, not in the right font.

I have index.swf and contact.swf.
I'm using the MovieClipLoader to load contact.swf into index.swf. contact.swf is placed in a movie clip with specific dimensions.
In contact.swf I have:
Code:
var myFmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFmt.color = 0x444444;
myFmt.font = "CorbelBold";
var metrics:Object = myFmt.getTextExtent("I love flash");
trace(metrics.textFieldWidth);
If I start contact.swf directly (not loaded into index.swf) it traces what I want.
If I start index.swf --> contact.swf is loaded into index.swf, then it traces something else. I found out that I have to EMBED the fonts in contact.swf AND index.swf to make it work.
Why do I have to embed the fonts in both .swf's ?

I've been trying to simply embed a single font in my .swf webpage-- not with actionscript, just as a library symbol, using cs4-- the directions I've seen are pretty straightforward, but for some reason it's not displaying correctly on computers other than my own. I wonder if I've got the URL correct: should it just be "myFile.swf"?

I am experimenting on embedding external fonts. I found this example on the webbut it does not work for me. Anyone tried it? I just changed "somefont" to a font that exists on my system like AGENCYB.TTF:
[Embed(source="C:WINDOWSFontsAGENCYB.TTF", fontFamily="foo")]
But it generates errors:
unable to resolve 'C:WINDOWSFontsagencyb.ttf' for transcoding

Attempting to embed two weights of the same font will cause CS5 to produce a differently named font for each weight.
I've created a sample FLA that clearly shows the problem[url]...
When exporting CS5 will not set the bold flag on the fields defaultTextFormat, forcing this on (also show in the attached FLA) produces the correct result.
I've got big site-like project with hundreds of differently formatted TextFields; and this bug pretty much forces me to export my SWF assets in CS4 (where the behavious is correct)
