Sheared Text Rendering?
Dec 9, 2011
I have to animate a bunch of text flags on a timeline, which my artist layed out in Illustrator. I import them from AI and if I am zoomed in they look fine, the verticals of the text are straight up and down. But if I zoom out, the verticals rotate to the slant.
Same goes for when I publish the swf. I have the flags all scaled small on the screen, and the text is all messed up. Then I scale up each flag to focus on it, and somewhere in the scale Flash decides my text is now big enough to look the way I want it. It is erksome. Is there a way I can force it to render straight up and down, without having to break everything and un-editablize my text?

I would like to ask the experts for help. In a flash movie I want three lines of text where I want line1 to appear with a preset motion, then line2 directly below line1 to appear with a preset motion, then line3 directly below line2 to appear with preset motion. I want to have the smallest possible fla file.

I recently upgraded my IE from 8 to 9 and immediatly saw problems with text. No problems in loading, or giving errors, etc. Just quality of some text.
With IE9, in many of my flash (cs4) applications, text that had been quite sharp is now blurry and hard to read. Some text is fine, other poor, and I cannot seem to see what is common to the places where text is poor. If I shift to IE8 compatability, all is fine there. Back to IE9, the problem.
If in IE9 I check in Internet Options/advanced to "use software rendering not GPU rendering", my IE9 flash stuff looks fine. That solves in my end, but obviously no help for publishing on the web. (This was a recomendation somewhere.) have apps that looked fine, only to have parts of them almost unreadable when viewed in IE9. All fine in Opera, firefox, safari, IE 8/7. Has always been somewhat a problem in chrome, but have seen where that is a documented problem.

I've create a website that scales to the size of the browser, and as such have lots of images that are down-sized after loading:
loughborough degree show .co.uk
For example: Click on the work section, then humble. The text (part of the jpg) looks terrible!
Is there an AS3 rendering class or package to ensure smooth rendering of images (and as a result smooth rendering of text within images)?

I have two separate projects I am working on, very basic, and the Input Text Box on one is only returning the value in HTML format... I cannot figure out for the life of me why.
The Input Text Box on the Stage has a variable assigned to it. I then have a button that checks the users input... the problem is, the input is being converted to HTML so the check is always failing. When I trace the variable it returns the following result[code]...

I'm having a bit of confusion about how to render text in a pure AS3 project. There are classes like flash.text.StaticText but these are designer-only, you can't create them in code. I was half-expecting the Graphics class to have text-rendering options but alas, no. Specifically I was going to add a label above each player's sprite with their name, health %, etc. So I expected to add a child text-element or draw text using Graphics in some way... it's read-only and should not support user-input, I just want to draw text on-screen.

I cannot seem to get a horizontal rule to appear in either html or css.Here is my as3 code. I am briniging in a RSS feed and displaying nodes in a Dynamic Text field. It is working very well but I cannot get the Horizontal Rule to work...
ActionScript Code:
var myText:String = "<p>"+firstheadtext+"</p>"
+"<span class='myTextStyle1'>"+firstbodytext+"</span><br/>"
[code]....
This is not the whole code. I have omitted the RSS loader and the CSS loader and the Text field.

1) If I don't embed any font outlines for that text field, the text field displays the string correctly (with the html right formatting) since my system has Arial installed.

I have an application which displays employee information. If the user opening the detailed employee information page is not authorized to make changes I set the TextInput to disabled. Some users are reporting rendering issues with this. The TextInput's text value does not appear inside the box but is misaligned and is outside of the component. You can see the screenshow below of the disabled ID column where the numbers which are supposed to be in the TextInput box are far off to the right.

It's been a about seven years since I have done any work with Flash but now my employer is asking me to create a custom online magazine tool (we're publishers). I've been immersed in PHP and AJAX and building Mac apps with XCode so I've got a bit of a relearning curve to go through.
Anyway, I'm pulling in some XML into a Flash file and want to display some of the various node values in a dynamic text box. That was easy enough, AS3 makes it a charm compared to the dark old days. The problem I am running into is displaying the values - its kind of a runsheet for a magazine - num of pages, ads, features, etc. etc. and I want to display that in one text box in a list type format. So I have something like this:

i have found that:
1. There has a subtle difference between a static text field in flash authoring tool which has been set to use the device font when it's got focus(state that user can type character in) and lose focus;
2. There also has a subtle difference between when it is being rendered in flash player and in flash authoring tool.(Note that the key factor here is setting the text field to use device font.)

I scripted a DropShadowFilter to render on my Movie Clip. The MC just consists of static text and its using the Tween class to move on the screen. Can't figure out why its not showing up. I'm using the same method on another movie clip that is just images, and works fine. Not generating any errors either.
Code:
import flash.filters.*;
var tds:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(3,90,0x000000,40,3,3,1,3,false,false,false);

I used FalshDevelop to compile PanoSalado opensource ".as" files to produce corresponding ".swf" files.it works great and my movie shows.However, when I run it via a webapp under Tomcat, it just sits there. The url is:Note that I'm running the same file (.swf) from the same place in the filesystem.And I even tried to embed the swf in an html page (actually a jsp page) to see if it would work.. but no dice... same issue.FWIW the html that is used to invoke the swf is :
<div id="flashbanner">this will be replaced by the SWF.</div>
<script type="text/javascript"> alert('0'); var so = new SWFObject('maps/ModuleLoader.swf','mpl','555','416','9', '#336699'); alert('1');

I'm trying to create a video background for a game using the FLVPlayback component. I need to smoothly trasisition between multiple videos so I make a FLVPlayer for each one so that I can just tween the alpha when I need to show it. When I start the game I load everything and store the Playback components in a Vector, I think add them to the stage like this
for(var i:int = m_Videos.length-1; i > 0; --i)
{
addChildAt(m_Videos[i], 0);
}
Once the game is loaded though the first video dosnt render at all, so I have a see thoough background. But once I transition to a video that is on top of it, the top video renders.

I am trying to find a way to render a Flash object, more specifically a Open Flash Chart, in the server, and save a screenshot of it to a temp file to embed it in on a PDF report.
I've found some solutions that use Javascript to generate a temp file in the browser, and then send it to the server (like here). However I need to generate reports automatically and send them as e-mail attachments, so I cannot render it using a browser.

I'm playing with Air and trying to get the PaperVision3D engine to display some 3D models.
But its really slow since Air seemingly does not support GPU acceleration. Any way to enable GPU rendering in air apps? browser apps can use "wmode=gpu" in the HTML settings...

The idea is to increment the height of the TextField (with font embedded) and see the difference when it becomes too big. When container.height is over 279 you can notice two things:
1. container starts to increase its width property.
2. The "pixelated" glitch is gone now. (the original ugly pixelation comes from rendering multiple TextFields on top of each other - you can check the for loop). It looks like the issue of one font covering the other is solved differently now.
My question is: what changes when the font becomes too big? is there any property of the TextField (besides the size of course) that I can check to catch the moment? (gridFitType, antiAliasType, thickness, sharpness do not change)[code]...

I'm working on better performance on mobile device with gpu rendering set to on. I use only bitmaps for animations, but I have some doubts:
1. If my content is poor bitmap (jpg or png file) should I cache its container as bitmap?
2. Shoud I use cacheAsBitmapMatrix for my bitmaps to have smoother animations or poor bitmaps are already optimized?

I have a flash file that loads dynamic text from a text file. When you press the space bar, it animates the text upward like movie credits. It works fine until I add more than 50 lines or so, at which point it delays showing the text until it's well into its scrolling.the kink here is that it only displays this error when it plays in fullscreen mode (which it is set to do by default, and what I need). if I escape out to window mode, it plays the text animation just fine.

rendering performance when scrolling some content. I have a large sprite with a lot of content that I need to scroll and the problem that I am encountering is that when scrolling this big sprite, the rendering of the Flash Player seems to slow down and the movement is choppy. I wrote a custom scrollbar class that simply updates the target sprite y or x properties on an enter frame event. The large sprite that I am scrolling mainly contains other sprites that have drawn shapes, loaded bitmaps and text fields.
Considering that I am simply moving the sprite, there are no other animations happening, nor other intensive processes at the same time, I do not think that it should be that resource intensive as to slow down the Flash Player that much. What can I do to improve the performance when scrolling the sprite? (Just to give a rough approximation, the sprite that I am scrolling contains around 20-30 sprites with drawn shapes, 2-5 loaded bitmaps, 5-10 text fields.)

I'm using a lineseries chart, but it gets fairly slow to re-render when I add a new point when the total # of points is ~1200 points. Granted, this is running on a fairly slow PC (~600 MHz). Reading the Flex documentation on how to speed up rendering (turning off dropshadows, turning off filterData, etc...) doesnt seem to help. I bound my chart to an ArrayCollection (rather than the array I used before which I manually updated) and it doesnt seem to be any faster. Adobe's documentation seems to have me believe that the Chart looks only at what changed since the last time it was updated, but i'm only adding one point!
If their info is correct, why does it take significantly longer (5 seconds) to update one point when I have ~1200 points then when I only have 2 points (instantaneous)? FYI - When I add a new point to my ArrayCollection, I have to do a "AC.refresh()" to get the DataBinding to pick up the new data.
