I have the following code:
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "arial";
aRButton.textField.antiAliasType = "advanced";
aRButton.setStyle("textFormat", tf);
aRButton.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
When i run this i get antialias on my radiobutton but the Swedish characters å, ä and ö disappears. Is there a way to manually embed these characters?
Is it possible to get the component's single lable without having all the labels of the component appearing? Like, I'm trying to include the label into a text's .text the code I'm using now is MoVName.text=MoV.labels; but it gave me all the labels that were included in that particular component.
View 12 RepliesI have created a dynamic text box which is used to put the length of a sound clip (which is worked out using AS2).
I want to use a font which isn't standard - VAGRounded, so I need to embed the characters.
If I select Family : VAGRounded and Style : thin then all is well. Ditto if I pick style:light but if I pick Style:bold or Style:black then the nothing displays
In my windows font folder all 4 appear to exist.
I notice that exactly the same appears to happen with the times font too (except some of the family options are different)
When I open the font-mapping box it tells me that there aer some fonts that I can't use but there is not list of what they are.

I have to embed VAGRounded bold. I can't seem to get it to work reliably. I have created 4 dynamic text boxes, one for each of the 4 styles and embedded the characters into each one for the 4 versions of the font. I then wrote some text directly into the boxes on the stage.
I created a 5th dynamic box and called it "test". I set the family to VAG ROunded, style:bold (ie just like one of the ones above). I then embedded the characters into it.
I added this dead simple as2
Code:
stop();
test.text="hello"
THis 5th text box looks NOTHING like the bold one from above, as you can see in the attached image.
I am starting to learn how to style components in Flash/AS3.
One of the things I unable to figure out is whether or not I can apply a filter/effect on the label of a component rather than on its skin.For example I want to have a button with a drop shadow applied on the text.
I am trying to embed a font in my actionsrcipt and the characters don't display at all when the embedFont = true. If it is set to false it displays the characters. I really need this to work because I want to maintain consistency with the font used through out the site.
The problem is that its not a common device font. The TextField is set up in another class I created and the the text formating is applied when the for loop runs in the initialization of the class I'm working in. I've tried everything I can think of and it just will not embed the font and display it.

I'm developing an app in Flash AS3 for a target audience in Europe and America. So now I need to embed the characters for the photo caption text field. There are "Basic Latin", "Latin Extended A", "Latin Extended B", "Latin Extended Add'l" and other sets available.
Are there some informations on which characters are really necessary or do I need to embed all sets? (There is an option to pick just some characters of them)
I made a page with a dynamic textfield which gets its text from an xml file.The text is italian, so contains characters as. None of these are recognised if I test my page, instead of these letters I see blank spaces. -I tried with embed, include special characters autofill, but that didn't do anything. -I read an article on this site about embedding international characters which says to put System.useCodePage=true; I did so, but got an error message. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

View 2 RepliesWhen embedding fonts programmatically, (example here), is it possible to specify certain characters as you might if embedding within the Flash IDE?Here is my code so far, which simply embeds the font. It works, but I am assuming that it is embedding an entire character set.
