ActionScript 3.0 :: Including Fonts In Swf Files?
Nov 10, 2009I am developing flash app to be embedded in the html page, and i have some text in the swf file with certain font.Now,on platforms that does not have those fonts, it will definitely display different fonts than the one I originally intended.I could use the character embedding feature, but there seems to be only two options.One is include all the glyphs which make the file to be monstrous size or
there is an autofill button which will only embedded letters of the font that are in the swf file.Now the problem with the second approach is that,the word will change dynamically making the second option useless. i.e. if word (thus letters) change such that it contains letters whose glyph or whatever is not embedded it is a problem you can see.
Plausible solution for me seems to be include all the letters for desired font, which I could not figure out how to do it or if it is possible to do this at all.Or if it is possible to just copy those fonts into one of my web hosting folders, and dynamically loads them.

Dec 16, 2010I'm using Flash CS4. I'm trying to load and embed an external font. The main problem I'm having is that I need to import more than just latin 1. I need many special characters imported as well. Because of this, using Flash CS4's create new font from the library is not an option. I'm using Verdana, so I know the font has all the characters I need. So what I need to do is create an external swf that holds the font. Then I need to import and use the font. Unfortunately, I've found way too many ways online that work but don't fit my needs.
View 5 RepliesFlash :: Conflict Between Fonts In Swc And External Swf?
Apr 25, 2011I have an actionscript 3 based website that is loading font outlines dyncamically, from external font swfs, using a common technique.
...
var FontLibrary:Class = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("font") as Class;
Font.registerFont(FontLibrary.fontClass);
Everything works fine until I attach assets from an swc containing text with the same font.At which point only the outlines from the swc are used. So for exampe, if the swc has a dyncamic TextField, containing the letters "abc" then only those letters will display in the website and not the entire alphabets that where previously loaded dyncamically from the font swf.

Apr 30, 2010In AS2, if I have a swf file that I have added a font to the library how do I load that swf file into my main swf on runtime and utilize that font? I figured it would be use loadmovie, but not sure after that.
I really don't want to load the fonts directly in the library of the main swf if I don't have to, because I have 12 fonts to load. So, I will be passing the main swf file a variable that will tell it which font file to load.

Jul 19, 2011I'm working on making a pretty chunky game engine for games I plan on making, but I was wondering if you make external AS files unopenable such as .lib files, so that if I give it to a friend that wants to use it, he/she cannot change my code. Is there anyway to make external AS files unopenable? Also, obfuscation isn't an option for this problem as it only stops the people who hack the finished product, not stopping people who have access to the actual files.
View 2 RepliesProfessional :: Embedding And Using External Fonts In Flash CS5?
Jan 7, 2011I just upgraded to Flash CS5. Font embedding is entirely different than it was in CS4. I've been looking for examples online but none seem to show me a solution that matches what I need.
In the project I'm working on, code changes the font a text box uses based on region and language. To keep file size down I created separate swf files with the fonts embedded. That way I only download the font I need. The way I did this and the code I used in CS4 doesn't seem to work anymore.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Fonts Via Embed?
May 3, 2011I typically embed the fonts in a library and use it this way but sometimes this gives me issues. I'm using Flash Pro CS5 and I'm trying the Embed method. I've seen many blogs/posts (here, here, here, here, etc in order of which my problems arose) but none of them are working for me. I'm getting the transcode error issue.
Can anyone shed more light on what the Error: Unable to transcode 'some/path/to/a.ttf' transcoding error is? Im sure the path is right, I've tried embedding with and without various options like mimeType, I can't get it to embed the font, or any font for that matter. Tips on embedding a font? My code would typically look like this:
[Embed(source="dat/SomeFont.ttf", fontFamily="SomeFont", mimeType="application/x-font")] var SomeFontClass:Class; var SomeFont:Font = SomeFontClass();
Actionscript 3 :: Loading Fonts From External SWF - Some Work, Some Do Not
Dec 16, 2011I have saved a dozen Fonts into separate swf files (embedded in the library of their respective .fla files). I am loading up to four of them and whilst most of them work, the script silently fails for Arial and Times New Roman. These fonts have been embedded and compiled the same as the others, and when I trace the available fonts I get an object saying that the required font has been loaded ([Object { fontName="Arial", fontStyle="regular", fontType="embedded"}]), however the text is not being rendered. If I change which font to use then the text is rendered using the correct font and performs as expected. It is only with these two fonts that I have a problem with.Is there a common problem with embedding these two fonts or is it possible I have changed a setting somewhere?

View 2 RepliesFlash :: Loading CFF Embedded Fonts In An External SWF At Runtime?
Nov 29, 2010We have a large flash site which is translated into 11 languages. We have a font loading system whereby all the characters required to display the site in each language are embedded in external swfs (so 11 swfs).recent update to the site requires us to use the Text Layout Framework (TLF) for one area of text display, which of course only supports fonts embedded in the new CFF format. I've attempted to embed a second instance of the font using the tag embedAsCFF="true", and after loading in the font SWF I can see this font is correctly registered as it shows up in the array returned by Font.enumerateFonts.The TextFlow instance I am using has the following properties set:
textFlow.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
textFlow.renderingMode = RenderingMode.CFF;
textFlow.fontFamily = "HeadingFontCFF";

Data Integration :: Loaded External SWF Gets Blurry Fonts/bitmaps
Jun 1, 2006When i load an external swf file it looses quality and renders blurry. But the swf itself (the external one) looks perfectly fine standalone. Now i ask myself, is this really a flashbug or what the heck is it?
Because i wrote an elearning player wich references hundreds of this files, its not very funny to see the quality dropping. To get some meat for you, i created a small site, wich should make the problem much clearer:

ActionScript 2.0 :: External Text Files Wont Load Into External Swf File?
May 28, 2007Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.

Flash :: Runtime Fonts Not Playing Nice With Fonts Embedded In Static Text?
Jul 11, 2010I 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.

View 2 RepliesFlash Detect Missing Embedded Fonts And/or Replace With Available Fonts?
Dec 22, 2010Edited Short Version:The Adobe Flash docs list a property embedFonts on TextAreas:
A Boolean value that indicates whether the font specified in fontFamily is an embedded font. This style must be set to true if fontFamily refers to an embedded font. Otherwise, the embedded font is not used. If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed. The default value is false. Regarding the "If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed" statement: How can I detect in ActionScript when this scenario happens?
TL;DR Original Version: I have a flash application which loads external .swf files containing embedded fonts, so that these fonts can be used within the main application. We're accomplishing this by using the following ActionScript code on anything which uses custom fonts:

Paths To External Files (jpg's) From A Swf
Jul 31, 2009I'm loading external jpgs into a swf movie. This works fine from the swf. The problem is when I embed it in the html. File Structure that I want:
movie.html
FolderB>
ImageFolder>image.jpg
movie.swf (path to the images is ImageFolder/image.jpg
When I run the movie.swf from within the directory, it runs fine. However, when I embed it in the movie.html it doesn't run. Question: Are paths from the swf relative to the PAGE that the swf is contained in vs the swf itself? Hope that makes sense.
