Professional :: Disappearing Embedded Fonts - DYNAMIC TEXT
Apr 7, 2010
I have a static textfield using Myriad Pro bold font that, when set to STATIC TEXT works absolutely fine, in the correct font. If I set it to DYNAMIC TEXT and test the SWF, the text shows up as a system font; not Myriad Pro If I set it to EMBED CHARACTERS the text doesn't show up at all on ANY system, whether the font is installed or not.
I have tried adding the font to the Library and using that "Family" for Properties>Character in my dynamic text box, but get the same results as when I don't set that to EMBED CHARACTGERS. I've tried selecting the font for the textfield as both the standard OS Font, as well as the one with the Asterisk next to it, but get the same results both ways. The library font is set to "export for actionscript" and "on frame 1". I don't think it's an issue with the font not being available, as I'm able to see it when setting textfield to STATIC type, and I use the font in other CS4 products (Photoshop, etc.).

I 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.

embed 20 fonts into a movie. Upon the user typing a word in an input text field AND checking a box or radio button indicating a font style, could Flash generate the input text to an output field with the font choice in the next frame?

i'm trying to use htmlText on a dynamic text field with embedded fonts. i've searched for an hour for an answer and i still don't have one.
on stage, there is a dynamic text field with no text. i've embedded both regular and bold versions of Myraid Pro. the text field on stage is set to regular (have to choose something). "Render Text As HTML" is selected.
the following code in my document class doesn't work:
myText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
myText.htmlText = "Not Bold <b>Bold</b>";
the html tags only work if the text field on stage is set to "use device fonts" in the anti-alias setting.

I'm having some trouble getting my fonts to show up correctly. I have the fonts embedded properly, being read from an xml file. Attached is a screenshot - don't mind the terrible colors; it's all brought in through xml. The alignment of the text boxes are not complete, but I have the top headers set up properly, yet the right header is squished down.

I bought this template a while back ago and now I am going to use it, the thing is the contact form is not accepting some characters like "q,w,e,r,t,y,@" etc. I remeber I had this issue a while back ago and I embeded the fonts and that fixed the issue, but with this one, aint working, I embeded all the fonts the template uses and it is not working.When I export the movie I always get the message "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 went to text> Font Embedding> I added pretty much all the characters for the fonts but I am still getting the message and still I am unable to add characters into the contact form.

I save my (embedded) fonts in an external file (fonts.swf) that gets loaded at runtime. Pretty standard. I also use a bunch of UI artwork generated in the Flash IDE. Some of this artwork contains static textfields (thus, not proper TextFields that can change. Just frozen glyphs). Here's the problem: if I use the same font in any static textfield and then embed that same font into my collection of runtime fonts, the runtime font will refuse to render. It's the same effect you get if you set a textfield with embeddedFonts=true to use a font that isn't embedded. If I change the static textfields to use a different font, the runtime fonts work just fine.

I have a couple questions about dynamic text fields. Is it possible to embed multiple fonts? Are color and font size dynamic? Is there a way to make scalable text? Is there a way to make a the contents of a dynamic text field a link to whatever URL might be typed into it?

So, I have some basic actionscript code. It's a legacy site, so I'm using AS2. The line of code simply does this:
myField.text = "some text"
So, I select the text field on the stage, then ensure the font is embedded. All the glyphs I want are checked, but then when I compile and test, the fonts don't show up when the code is executed. Instead, the textfield is blank! What happened?! Where did the text go?
I should mention that the .swf which I compile is loaded into another parent .swf during runtime. If that parent .swf does not contain embedded fonts, is that why it's broken?

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?

I have a series of dynamic text fields that do not show text when published. The fonts for these text fields are embedded and I do not get any errors on publishing. The project worked perfectly in CS4, but now in CS5, I had to re-embed all of the fonts in the dynamic text fields, but they won't show. What could be the problem?

Create new AS3 fla fileIn publish settings, click 'Generate Size report'Put some text on the stage - Classic text, static (Though it doesn't seem to matter)Make sure the font is '_sans' (There is no 'Use device fonts' option for this font choice)Publish the fileNote that _sans is now embedded in the SWF, occupying bytes in the size report. Try the same in CS3, and there is nothing embedded, as you would expect. Unfortunately I can't get my fla loaded into CS3 because CS5 will only allow me to export as CS4.
Similarly, change the font to something specific, like Verdana, and set it to use device fonts and it still embeds font data (We're talking about 3 or 4k) but doesn't list any glyphs. Occasionally though, by screwing around, it doesn't embed anything. Then nudge some text in some magical way and it's back to embedding redundant data.

I used the proLoader that comes in Flash5.5 to load a swf which contains a tlf text with an embedded font. The proLoader works great but it doesn't display the font instead it displays a font that looks like Helvetica. I also tried 'merged into code' in RSL settings default linkage and the swf still does not display the font I want. It works fine in Classic Text.

I am really at a lose end with this - I have a flash file called in xml into a dynamic textfield. It works fine with English but when I try and put Greek into the xml the flash file then doesn't show the font. The font is verdana - which can be translated and I have embedded the font, with greek and made sure my xml is unicode-8 - but it still shows nothing.

I have a setup where an air app dynamically reads files, and throws the contents to an SWF inside of it. This SWF is a Flash 10 file and contains a textField where the contents are then displayed.I want to display the text as htmlTest so i can have it formatted. However, without embedding fonts, the htmlText is jagged and unprofessional.Though it is a pain to figure out, I am able to embed fonts and display regular dynamic textField text, however i have not been able to a) embed fonts and b) display htmlText without the text disappearing.

I have a dynamic text field on my stage with the instance name of "yesno". In the text box panel, (so not the code) I have it set to embed all the glyphs.In my code I have the following:[code]but that text does not appear when the function that it's in is used. If i do not embed any glyphs, it appears exactly as written.I've done this in other animations and never had a problem with it. (in fact the yesno text field is copied directly from another fla)Nothing looks different and my publication settings aren't any different, any clue what's going on?

I'd like to display antialiased text on a component (in this case, a FB4 Spark Label, but that's irrelevant).
Am I reading the docs correctly, and the only way to antialias the text in Flash Builder 4 is to actually embed the whole damn font, even though it's vanilla Arial which 99.9% of all users have???

If I import a font into my library for use with dynamic text fields, but my swf also contains a lot of static text, would I save much in the way of filesize by making all the static text dynamic too. Seems to me if I have imported the font, then publish the file and have flash convert all the static text to outlines, I'm going to be wasting filesize because all the font info is already contained in the swf.

Anybody know the trick to getting both bold and regular text in a dynamic text field? I can do it with system fonts no problem (using htmlText), but the client wants copy to be Futura Medium and Futura Bold. I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time anyone's had to do this.

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.

In it I have a few text fields on a bar that I use to display some dynamic info. I have had them set with embedded characters (Upper, lower, punctuation, and numbers). One is Verdana 14 and the other is Verdana 10. Everything has been working fine with no problems and then today i go to test the scene and they completely disappear!! I traced them and thier visibility and they seem to be there but they don't show up. When I turn off the font embedding they are visible again. I can't seem to figure out why this is happening.

I've been struggling to get some text antialiased in a static text field in CS4. The text field is using an embedded font, with antialiasing set to "Anti-alias for readability".
The field is referring to the font symbol in the library and the symbol does not have bitmap text enabled.
When viewing the field itself, the text looks properly antialiased. The field is inside a graphic symbol. When I navigate out of the graphic symbol, the text loses its antialiasing. It is also not antialiased when published.
It has something to do with the font symbol, as it antialiases properly if I set the font to the actual font on the system. It's not a standard font though, so will need to be embedded.
The three images show the text in the text field, the symbol and the published swf.

I'm having issues with dynamic text disappearing under a specific circumstance. When the playhead enters the Photos frame the code below is executed. This code sets the text value of the linkTEXT textfield and adds a bitmap to the linkTHUMB mc. The code runs perfectly and everything is populated most of the time.
The exception... The website has 4 frames which it can navigate to (home, photos, order, contact). If I stay within the first three, each time I navigate to Photos the textfields and bitmaps will be populated and display correctly. However, if I navigate to the Contact page, either before or after I've already visited the Photos page, only the bitmaps will display.
Strangely enough, the textfields still trace their proper values. It also appears as if their parent movieclips are still in the display list since I get the hand cursor when I mouse over their x+y coordinates. If I trace the parent's numChildren property I can see the textfield is still a child.
So where is the text going, or why does it suddenly disappear? If the textfield is still there and it's on stage in the display list why isn't the text being displayed?
