I recently started using FF_Hero on a project but I noticed that the bottom 3 pixels are not displaying effecting g,y,q. It has nothing to do with the text box size. Non pixel fonts work fine...is there a work around?
View 3 RepliesI've attached 2 screenshots. The first shows the flash stage at its default size - as you can see my font is all distorted and weird looking but when you zoom in (image 2) it's exactly like it should be. What would make it look like this when the stage hasn't been zoomed out or anything, it's just from pressing cmd and enter from flash?
I embedded it by putting it into the fla's library.
I have a Flash CS3 movie (AS2) wich uses pixel fonts. The text is within a movie clip that uses the tween class to move with ease. Whe I publish it, everything OK, the text looks very crispy. But I want this movie to be centered in the browser window so I've used the tags <center> </center> in the html file as you can see below. When you play the movie it plays in the center but... with IE8 the text is blurred if the browser window is maximize, but crispy if you minimize the window!! With other browsers it works well with all windows sizes, IE7, Firefox, Safari...
Here is an exemple: [URL]
Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="es" lang="es">

Is there a way to use Math.Round to ensure that ALL text boxes are on whole number, X,Y coordinates?
View 5 RepliesReason why few of the pixel fonts look more sharp when we use device font than embedding the font.
View 3 RepliesI know there is an issue with Pixel fonts that you have to set their sizes in whole numbers but here i am not using pixel fonts. I am using normal fonts like Tahoma or Arial and when I publish my flash file it looks blurry or kinda broken. It doesn't show as crispy as in photoshop. Do I need to do something like break apart the font or anything else.
View 6 RepliesI am having problem with displaying pixel font right in animation, check: [URL] Font is embed in dynamic text field. If it's 'antialiased for animation' then font is blurry and if it's 'Bitmap text (no anti-alias)' then animation is not smooth.
View 4 RepliesSo i've created an interface for a lobby display. It's running on a 52" LCD (1280x768). I have the computer hard wired to the display (HP Laptop with standalone flash player) and have the same resolution settings set on it. Now, I built the interface on my Mac desktop and have the stage set to 1280x768.
The kicker: When i run it on the display, there's a lot of extra vertical space at the bottom. When i change the resolution to 1280x1024, it fills the screen vertically properly, but then shortens it horizontally.
I am observing a problem with how an embedded font is applied to certain Flex components, namely mx:Label and mx:DataGrid. I have a CSS that declares three variations on an embedded font as follows:
@font-face
{
src:url("buttons.swf");
[Code].....
(I've snipped some stuff from both style rules, so if you think there's something that may be causing a conflict I can certainly post the entire definition. It's mostly color, line and padding stuff for the DataGrid.)
The problem that is for both Label and cells in the DataGrid the text is being rendered as sort of a times new roman font. The headers in the DataGrid are fine, just the text in the cells is wonky. All other components use the correct font as defined in the CSS/SWF.
I have a PC fiash file with static body text that is New Gothic font. The published swf looks great on the PC, though when testing on Mac, none of the text appears. I thought that with static text fields, the font is automatically embedded?
how I can get the font to display properly on a Mac?
I have a simple class which contains a TextField. The textfield is populated with data from an XML file.
i am using the code:
txtField.htmlText = xmlElement.node.node.text();
txtField.setTextFormat(txtFmt);
If i don't use any HTML tags, it displays fine. But if I add tags, such as <a> or <b>, etc... the text within the tags does not display. For example, if in the XML text i have:
<node>For more information, <a href='http://www.link.com'>Click Here</a> to see the information. When I run the flash move, it displays: For more informationto see the information.
If i remove the <a> tags, it displays fine.
I recently hired a programmer to design a flash health calculator for my website. It works great and text shows up correctly when viewing online and standalone. The problem starts when I try to edit the file. I wanted to change some text in an action layer. That seems to work out fine but when I try to publish I get garbled text.
I should also mention that when loading the file I get a Font Mapping dialog box stating "The document 'x' contains one or more fonts not available on your system. The text will display and publish with the font mapping below:". I have tried to select various fonts in this dialog box but still get garbled text.
When I publish I also get this on the Output box: "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts."
I have a 843 pixel x 181 px SWF file that is in a Dreamweaver CS4 HTML table. It plays but the Flash files actual location on the web page is off.It is shifted about 1 or 2 pixels down and 1 or 2 pixels to the right on IE 8, Firefox 3.6.12 and Safari 5.0.1 on the PC.[url]...
View 5 RepliesI am experiencing some rather quirky behaviour with datagrid itemRenderers. First, I create an ArrayCollection as follows:
[Bindable]
private var myBooleans:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([false,true]);
And afterwards I bind it to a datagrid:
<mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{myBooleans}" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
[Code].....
When running this, the datagrid only shows a row with the correct itemRenderer if the boolean == true. For the row where the boolean == false, it will display an empty row.
I would also like to add that wrapping the boolean in a wrapper object will not cut it for my use case since I will receive an ArrayCollection of unwrapped booleans through an RPC call.
I have a flex AreaChart with a custom dataTipRenderer:

This is what i am trying to do: -User enters Array Values and Labels, it should sum up the values and will push a record i.e. Total, (Sum of Values) -Example user enters Jan, Feb, Mar in Labels and 10, 20, 30 in Values, so the out put should be
{title:Jan, data: 10}
{title:Feb, data: 20}
{title:Mar, data: 30}
{title:Total, data: 60}
I was coding an AS3 file and it worked great until I started writing a class to extend the textfield class. After that, every time I tested my movie, the text field is created but nothing showed up. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that the text was actually in the text field, but was outside of the bounds of the text field and the field's height cannot be resized through code or with multiple lines of text. I found this out because I could copy the text and paste it into a text editor (and no, the text isn't set to white). Everything works properly with dynamic text fields created on the stage, just not when created in actionscript. I have tried embedding a font and using the default with no luck. The code even works on a different machine!! The same problem occurs in AS2. I have tried dumping the class file I created, reinstalling Flash, the Flash Player, and even uninstalling my font management program and still nothing.

Okay, I'm making a Flash news blog thingy using xml (obviously).

I'm just finishing an updated interface to a pre-existing multi-lingual flash site. We're using device fonts for non-western fonts. Japanese works fine. 100% fine. Korean, for some reason, does not.he text itself is being pulled into the Flash via remoting. And is all unicode. I'm confident that the Korean unicode is okay because it displays in our CMS interface fine and also displays in the old Flash interface (built in MX 2004) without a problem. Both the old and the new Flash interfaces (which are completely separate) use the Arial system font for non-western fonts. In the old interface, it displays fine. In the new one, I just see html ballot box entity characters in place of the characters.

so I'm making a site with 4 main buttons. Each of them send you to the sub-section and I'm making the sub-category buttons from 4 arrays with the names of each subCat and a .duplicatMovieClip loop. My problem is that I can't get the font I'm using (Adobe "Myriad Web Bold") to display those subCat... I tried using a "dummy" dynamic text field off stage with embedded font as well as adding/linking the font into the library. When I do a "Size Report" the font seem to be embedded but the text doesn't show up. When I set ".embedFonts = true;" to "false" then the text comes back (but in device font of course...)
Here some of the code:
// creates the new buttons
for (i=0; i < subCat_array.length; i++) {
_root.subCat_masterBT_mc.duplicateMovieClip(subCat _array[i]+"_mc", 100+i);
_root[subCat_array[i]+"_mc"]._x = _root.subCat_masterBT_mc._x;

I am making a spin wheel and the hitTestObject doesn't seems to be displaying correctly Basically, there is an arrow (the finger that locate where the wheel stopped) and the wheel itself. The wheel is divided into different segments, and each of these segments can be control by the code. Here's the problem though, my arrow is at the top of the wheel and it only touches 1 of the segment, but whenever I use the hitTestObject method with the arrow and the segments, it somehow detect several segments instead of one. These segments are not overlapping one another so I don't understand why it is detecting several hits instead of one.

View 1 RepliesI am running into issues displaying Thai characters in Flex components that make use of the Flash Text Engine (FTE), specifically on Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.Here's a blurb of my compiler font managers in flex-config.xml:
<flex-config>
<target-player>10.2.0</target-player>
<!-- Specifies the version of the compiled SWF -->[code].....
Thai characters render correctly in mx components such as TextField so far. However, FTE components such as TextLine show those crappy-looking boxes as a substitution. My initial guess was that somehow one of the compiler font managers declared in flex-config.xml was not finding the right system font to fallback to for Thai characters. So, I ensured the system font was installed by going to System Preferences > Language and Text > Edit List. Then I changed fontFamily to Arial, Ayuthaya.Still was seeing the boxes of evil.
Next I figured that perhaps the Arial font might be assigning a box for each unicode value corresponding to a Thai character. So it was effectively overriding the Ayuthaya system font. So I changed fontFamily once more to just Ayuthaya and this worked with one issue - Ayuthaya looks inherently different from Arial for non-thai characters.is there a less invasive way to support Thai in FTE components such that the appearance of the text is closer to the Arial font? I would rather not embed a font because I'm constrained on SWF size.
I can't seem to get TextArea to render any embedded fonts in project. I've searched online and have found a couple of instances of this issue but no solutions.
I have a few fonts embedded with my app. Spark Label & the mx:TextArea (switching embedAsCFF to 'false') will display them correctly so I know they're embedded OK. I have the fontFamily value in a binding but I even tried just instantiating a new TextArea then assigning one the the embedded fonts via the fontFamily style and have had no luck.

@font-face {
src:url("assets/fonts/UbuntuMono/UbuntuMono-Regular.ttf");

I have been trying to embed a font into a project I am working and its just not happening. I am having 2 problems first I am trying to embed a font that I do not have installed on my machine (Helvetica Neue Bold), I do have a copy of the otf file though. As far as I know what I have tried should work however when I run the swf I only get Times New Roman. From the enumerated fonts I can see the font has embedded but it just wont show. Secondly if I replace the Helvetia font with one I do have on my machine (Arial for example) the text displays with the correct font but if I then set embedFonts = true the text disappears.
Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;

When creating an application which needs to be capable of displaying a range of foreign characters we came across a display problem when attempting to display Swedish diacritics. The following sample application works fine using Windows Vista but doesn't display correcting using Windows XP:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical">
<mx:Label text="Arial Unicode MS - Höglund" fontFamily="Arial Unicode MS"
[Code]....
Using charmap suggests that both Arial and Verdana on Windows XP lack the necessary diacritic characters and hence don't display correctly whereas in Windows Vista the fonts are complete. The same in standard HTML appears to work correctly however (not sure if the browser is doing something in the background to insert known diacritic characters when it encounters fonts without).
Has anyone encountered a similar issue when displaying diacritics in Flash using Windows XP? I want to avoid embedding Arial/Verdana and unfortunately using Arial Unicode MS is not an option - Verdana must be used to fit with the clients style guidelines.
My issue is thus: If I use an embedded unicode font in a textfield and set embedFonts = true when displaying characters like mandarin or IPA phonetic spelling characters, certain characters will disapear from the textfield.
