Having a bit of trouble getting embedded fonts to work. The inconsistency with this is driving me crazy. I've gotten this to work before but not since going to cs5.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI'm wondering if there's a way to have a text and use 2 different embed fonts.Basically, i have a text from a xml file and one textfield that I want to scroll but I want to use a different font for the title.I tried something like:
PHP Code:
var contentMessage:String = "<font face='myFont' >"+titleArray[0]+"</font><br>"+contentArray[0]; contentTxt.htmlText = contentMessage;
[code]......
When I create a textbox by using textbox tool, I can embed the fonts and the Turkish characters with embed button (autofill). But when I create a text field by AS2.0, I can embed the font but text box shows only the English characters with my font.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to embed fonts at runtime in actionscript and it somewhat works. I can embed fonts by either using the embed tag or by loading a font library asset with a linkage name and use it with a new TextField. However, a textfield that exists on a movie clip already does not have the embedded font and is missing characters.
A quick example in code (textInstance exists on the movieclip):
var embeddedFonts = Font.enumerateFonts(); //Shows embedded font
var textFormat:TextFormat = textInstance.getTextFormat();
textInstance.text = "Don't be lazy"; //missing characters

I want to embed the font at runtime and I'm loading multiple SWFs and I don't want to embed the font in each SWF.
I'm trying to embed multiple fonts in a spark RichText component but not sure how to go about it. I'm wanting to be able to display bold font using tags in HTML. With the font i'm using, the regular and bold character sets are in different .ttf files.
Can I set more than one font family in CSS for a component?[code]...
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?

I know fonts and flash are always an issue
How am I supposed to add fonts to a textfield that loads the info dynamically trough XML say I want to be able to have Arial, Verdana and Tahoma in both bold and Italic
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 am using the following line before my class declaration .
[Embed(source="C:WINDOWSFontsVERDANA.TTF", fontName="VERDANA", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype", flashType = true)]
But there is no change in the appearance of the Text whatsoever.. I need the text to be crisp and clear.Just like the way it looks when we embed the fonts using the Embed... Button in the Flash IDE.
Is there any solution to dynamic fonts yet. I have tried to write classes and followed so much stuff on various blogs but none of them is working. For example, i'm using a font(which is not installed in most machines) say "abc" on my Input and other TextFields/Combos/Radio etc. Now no matter whatever i do, it uses some default font instead of "abc" if accessed from a PC in which this font isn't installed.
One (bad)solution is to embed fonts using the Embed button in "Properties" FOR EACH TEXT FIELd seperately and increase the file size? Still this way wouldn't work for Combos and radio Btns.
What I need to do to use an external style sheet? Should it be a style sheet or an mxml file?I saw this tutorial, which offers quite a bit of good information (some of which I also found in the livedocs) via the comments.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI need to embed a font in AS3. Never done that before, and the tutorials I found for it are more confusing than revealing.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to embed fonts by using actionscript? I have many different text areas on a flash page that use exotic fonts. Instead of changing each one of those into "dynamic text " and then embedding it, can I just use code?
View 1 RepliesI've been trying to learn me some XML and i found a simple tutorial which works, but can't figure out how to format it using simple tags (bold, italics, etc). i've tried many other tutes but can't get it to work with mine. i understand i need to embed fonts and use cdata but it's not working, as i'm not sure where to add it.
Can somebody check the attached .txt file with the simple XML and AS and show me where to add the code to each? I left out my failed attempts so not to confuse. I'm not very skilled in XML
How do you import fonts, so that you are absolutely sure, that everyone will be able to display that font? (otherwise, makybe his computer doesn't have the font).
View 3 RepliesSince the [Embed(source="1.ttf", fontName="bla", fontWeight="Bold", imeType="application/x-font-truetype")] is not embeding fonts i want couse of errros like with helvetica i try otherway. Since Flash IDE always work nice with embed fonts. I made a SWF that embed the font i want. After I make a class that have a method that returns the fontname. In my flex app i load that SWF.. set a var to the fontname of the included SWF.
Now what i create a new textfield with textformat set to that fontname all work ok. But the quality of the font is so pixel. I tried the AntiAliasType etc.. no real effect. When i look in the SWF with the embed font.. it looks nice and smooth..
Just wondering how to embed fonts using code, and not the library - the examples I have used are giving me errors, so I'm obviously not understanding something.I originally set up a library font, and got it to work fine using the following code, but ideally I'd like to embed using just code.I set up and populate a dynamic text field (JX)g1.textParamFunc(JX);[code]So how would I use the following code to replace the library font?Is there a way to take part of the code, and place it in the g1 package above? Or do I have to create a separate external as for it, and somehow call it into the g1 as?[code]
View 5 RepliesI have a shared fonts.swf file containing a variety of fonts that my main swf uses. I have a movieclip within the fonts.swf file which is exported for runtime sharing. In my main swf I have the fonts.swf imported for runtime via a movieclip. This all works fine and allows me to use the fonts within the fonts.swf file in my main swf. I am trying to work out how to import fonts.swf for runtime via as2 (instead of manually within the library), as in different circumstances different fonts are required and it is massively increasing the filesize having to import all fonts every time when only a few are needed.

do you know how to use the embed fonts feature and css? or anti-alias the text that is styled using css? i have tried to set:
titlefield.embedFonts = true;
titlefield.stylesheet = sheet;
but it does not work. if i comment out the embedFonts the css works fine but the text is very aliased. but as3 does not support the embed font property within css.
how can I embed fonts in Flash CS3 ?
In CS4 it is in the textfield property..

Just i want embed swf font dynamically in my flex application,but statically its working fine
ActionScript Code:
[Embed( source="assets/BIRTH OF A HERO.swf", fontFamily="BIRTH OF A HERO" )]
public static var BIRTHOFAHERO:Class;
but i want to give dynamic path for my source,that means the embed source should be variable, so that i can add any swf font file dynamically.
I went to research these Text Fields on Google and came across some very interesting articles about them.Now I've always known that you have to Embed Fonts, but those articles thought me that there are several ways to embed these characters.What I am very curious about is, what the best way is to properly, cleanly and safely embed fonts with the desired styles.
View 4 RepliesHow do I Embed fonts for a ComboBox?
View 10 RepliesI have a dynamic Textbox in my SWF. It is attached to a movieclip and can be moved around and such. All somewhat simple. That's not the issue yet
What I need to accomplish is for it to accept different non-standard Fonts (from a list of about 50 Fonts that need to be available). I don't care if it's done by using the "htmlText"-property of the textfield or the "font" property of the TextFormat object... or any other way- I just need it to work.
What I mean it- I need to find a way to get the characters of a bunch of non-standard Fonts (such as "Army.ttf" and "College.ttf") to be available in my SWF so that the textfield can draw from that resource.
I know how to use textfields and TextFormat (at least well enough, I think) and AS 2.0 in general (though I am certainly not a pro)... I know how to Embed a Font to a Textfield (not that that is an accomplishment. heh) I just can't seem to tie the loose ends.
I thought it might be enough to have some textfields in the SWF, "off stage" (one for every font I wanted to embed) and have *them* embed the font I want in order for it to be in the SWF file for the *dynamic* Textfield to use... but I guess it's not at all that simple.
After spending hours trying to find out how get my text fields I made in AS to be anti aliased,
View 3 RepliesI am using Flash CS5, regarding fonts embedding in flash CS 5.
View 3 RepliesI realize you can embed fonts using Text-Font Embedding in Flash CS5, but I see no option for a custom font. Not sure if this is possible anyways, but let's say I create all the letters in the alphabet using Illustrator, could I have those converted to a font usable in Flash CS5 (where each image corresponds to a letter.) If so, how?
