I have created a dynamic text box, made itscrollable and added a scroll bar. I have entered my text and now want to set off a quote from the person making the statement so I want to make the person's name italics. However, when I highlight the text (it is on a separate line) and click italics - all of the text turn to italics. Is there a way just to have one line in a different font?

View 1 RepliesHere is my issue : I have a dynamic html text field, to which i passed html text / textformat such as : <P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Trebuchet MS" SIZE="14" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Some text<B>some bold text</B><I><U>and some italic underline</U></I></FONT></P>My problem is, i can't use embedfonts because if i do, and use Trebuchet MS for instance, the bold tag will never render as in flash you have to select if the font your embed is bold or not.

I have a library MovieClip the I am putting into the Scroll Pane. Inside this MovieClip is a Dynamic Text field that I fill with data. I have the ScrollPane on my stage and have used the source, refreshPain and update to try and get the new information from the dynamic text field into the Scroll Pain. To no avail all I get is the orginal text that was in the box when it started.
View 2 RepliesI am making a Flash movie where a user can change the font of a text field(AS3), and due to the embedded fonts functionality even fonts that ar not on the users computer can be selected.The problem is that I can embed only one font per text field. This should be no issue because they are embedded in the example text and are included in the library. But this does not work!It does not matter whether I use the font name or the name of the font in the library with trailing '*', it simply shows _serifThis problem drives me cray because it disables the main feature of the application.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to embed multiple fonts into my input textfield for my html document to display different fonts. How do I do this?
My html <font style="Arno Pro" color="#99CC00" size="+3">TITLE</font><br />
[Code]...
I'm using Flash CS5 , Actionscript 3.0 and export fo Flash Plaer 10.
I create a class, myHtmlText.as, that builds a basic TextField. I create an empty file myHtmlText.fla I embedded two fonts inside the myHtmlText.fla: "Ghotam Light" and "Ghotam Book"; I selected all characters for each font and exported for actionscript with the following linkage name: "GhotamBook" and "GhotamLight"
I wish to use the fonts embedded, in the TextField using htmlText, like this:
var tf:TextField = createTextField(10, 10, 400, 22); tf.htmlText = '<p><font face="GhotamBook">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</font></p>';
//tf.embedFonts = true;
[Code]....
but it does not work; the text is not displayed; If I use .text instead fo .htmlText, the latin text is displayed with a system font.
I know this question comes up often, but I have been through the forum several times and I am now confused as to which approach I should take. Hopefully someone can guide me as I am new to AC3.I have a Flash file with a dynamic text object.I have some existing AS3 which loads in text content from an XML file, and drops this into the dynamic text object. This all works fine.What I would like to do is be able to specify a font name in the XML and hence change the font used in the Dynamic text field.Later I would like to explore the option of dynamically loading in the fonts as and when needed, but for now I have embedded two fonts in the Flash file.I have tried the code below, which just manually changes the font (not from the XML yet), but this just doesn't seem to work? Have I missed something?
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import flash.text.Font;

I create some text, make it dynamic, load an XML file into it, and it works just fine.However, when I copy and paste the code into the web site that I'm using it for, it ONLY works if the font is set to Gill Sans Std(the font that the site uses). Otherwise, no text appears but the area where it SHOULD appear becomes selectable.I know this isn't a very good description of my problem, but I'm working with someone else's code and it's some of the worst I've ever seen.Can anyone think of why this might be happening? Also, when I try to add HTML tags, they don't work and the text effected by the tags disappears. Again, this works fine as an independent script, but when I try to use it where I need it it doesn't work.

View 3 RepliesI am having trouble embedding a font in my Flash file. I have the font in my library. I have the text field selected to that font with the * next to it. In my actions I have: vid_title_txt.embedFonts = true;

Presume there is a textField with fonts embedded using Flash (CS4) IDE's "Character Embedding" option of the textField property panel.How these embedded characters are stored actually?Is the embedded fontset accessible beyond this single textFiled and how?Is there any way to clone such a textFiled in runtime having a new dynamic textFiled object with all embedded characters included?

View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a text box with actionscript, using an embedded font, and populating it with HTML text. It seems I can either use an embedded font, or HTML formatted text, but not both. To illustrate the problem, I have created a little test.
1. Create a font symbol in the library. Export it for actionscript as "_mainFont".
2. Create a dynamic text box on the stage using _mainFont and type some random text in it, including the use of bold and italics. Set the font size and colour to whatever you like. Name the instance "templateText".
3. On the first frame, type in these actions:
[Code]...
The textbox should display correctly, using the correct font, colour and all the HTML formatting. Unfortunately, I need to create text on the fly. So modify the actionscript to create a new text field instead of using the template text:
[Code]...
What happens? I get the right font. The < font color > tag works OK, I get the breaks and the underline, but I get no bold and no italics. Finally, let's make some use of the templateText box by using its formatting. Replace the line:
var textBoxFormat = new TextFormat(); with
var textBoxFormat = _root.templateText.getTextFormat();
Now the text is formatted with the right font, the same colour and size of the templateText box, but I've lost the HTML font colour and underline in addition to the bold and italics.If I take out the Embed Fonts, I get back bold and italics, but loose font colour and underline, as well as the wrong font.

View 1 RepliesAfter a lot of experiments and reading many articles, Q&As, I still didn't find the answers to my problem, then I decided to ask my question at great stackoverflow forum:-)
The setup of my project is as follows:
- Create an AS3 project in Flash Builder 4 (Main.as3proj), and write source code in it;
- Create graphical assets in Flash CS5;
- Load the graphical assets in the AS3 project;
In the graphical assets (swfs), there are text fields, we would like to use Embedded fonts for the text fields. But we don't want to embed the fonts in all swfs, we want to create a swf as a font library (FontLib.swf), that embed all the fonts needed across all the graphical assets (swfs).
After loading or embedding the FontLib.swf to the main application (Main.swf), the embedded fonts is availabe: TextField.isFontCompatible(myFontName, myFont)
is true. And when I create a TextField with the embedded font at runtime, it works fine. But besides this, I want to use the embedded fonts for the TextFields in other graphical assets like what I described at the begging, but when I try to change the text for the dynamic text field in a movie clip, the text field will disappear. (Before changing the text, it can be displayed because Flash CS5 automatically embed the fonts for the characters already input in the fla/swf file).
I tried to clone the text field with the same properties of the text field in the movie clip and replaced the old one, as I said, this works as other text fields created at run time. But I have other problem with cloning and replacing the text fields in movie clip. I wonder if there is a way to instruct the flash player to use the externally loaded embedded fonts for the text fields in movie clip.
