I created a contact us form for my landing page. I draged few components such as "textInput" "radioButton" "comboBox" and "checkBox" into a movie clip.
Now the default font size of Flash is 10 and I would like to enlarge it.
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'm not familiar with actionscript, so I need help for this flash file... I want to change the font color and font style for the sentence that display...

View 1 RepliesI am Carlos, I am working on a little App in Flash CS5 but I cant find the way to set a Font Style to a label or button components.
The program just add values to a variable and print it to the label, that works perfect, the problem is that when I test the app, the text size in the label and button are so small that they are useless.
As a Workaround I add a text with TextTool in which I can set "Character" in list of properties, but no "Character" section in list of properties for Label or Button.
Whats the default font for components? I don't need to change it. I like how it looks but I want my other fonts to match it and I dont know what font it is.

View 1 RepliesI have a following issue:My task is to style a datatip for two charts in Flex 4.5.Both charts reside in two different <Group> based components which are added to the <Application>
So after a thorough research here is what I tried to do.First applying a css descending selectors:
#container#chart1 chartClasses|DataTip{
backgroundColor:white;
backgroundAlpha:0.01;
[Code]....
Then I would like to be able to get access to the instance of the CustomDataTip class.But I can't .So currently the only thing I can do is to create a distinct custom datatip renderer class for each chart.That could be fine if you have only a couple of charts you want to style but what can we do if we have many of them?
I've got a simple function to change the colour of a textInput component box - problem is it doesn't work. I can't see why not - surely this should be really simple, I can't understand why it is so hard?[code]...
Is it even possible to change the color of the font in textInput components?
When we are building a application in Flex the components that we add are in English. Lets say that i want to change then to French, Spanish or Portuguese. How could i do that?? I've google a bit about it, but nothing good. I didn't look too much, because you guys always now things, and here in SO its more faster to ask than search for it : I think i didn't expressed my self correctly.

I'm playing around with the scaleX/Y in the canvas tag and have noticed some strange behaviour. When I set scale in in mxml the width and height of the canvas are adjusted accordingly. For example if I have a canvas like this: <mx:Canvas width="1000" height="1000" scaleX="0.1" scaleY="0.1" />
The canvas now appears on screen to have a width and height of 100 and if inside my creationComplete callback I check the width and height property they are indeed 100. But if I do exactly the same thing except I set the scaleX/Y property from actionscript the canvas on screen appears to have a width and height of 100 as expected, but when I check the width and height property of the canvas they are still at the previous values of 1000.
How can I set a custom font while creating a link with TLF text? Here is my code:
[Code]...
Everything works fine but I would like to use:
- Helvetica Neue Bold as my custom font
- Add tracking or letter spacing
- Embed the font in my swf
[code]_root.sidearea.removeMovieClip();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("sidearea", 3);
_root.sidearea.createTextField("scriptinput", 2, 0, 0, 600, 600);
[Code].....
just copy it into the first frame and fix it and copy it back i know its something really simple but for the life of me i cannot figure it out.
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.
How can I set font size of title property (header) in TitleWindow component? If I use fontSize property, it sets the font size for all components in TitleWindow, which is not what I want. I only want to set it for the title. I'm using Flex 3.

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 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();

View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesHow do I install multiple fonts for both bold and normal, I am trying to change the default font.
<fx:Style>
@namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
@namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";

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".
