I have a strange issue where a dynamic text field will not show a bold version of a font (Gerstner BQ) if the regular version is on the stage in a static text field.Remove the static text field and the dynamic text field displays the bold font correctlyI have created a test FLA to reproduce this and by turning the layer with the static text field on and off (Publish settings -> Flash -> include hidden layers [unchecked]), the issue is quite clearhis issue is so big for me that I have had to abandon a project in CS5 and start again in CS4 just to work around this.

I want "<b>bold</b>" to be... well, let's say... bold !
I have a mask layer under which there is a text field.
The text field shows htmlText, and i must embed chars. If not embedded, it doesn't display because of the mask. So the solution of importing 2 user fonts ( one bold and one regular) does not work.
i'm using a font called "AGBookBQ-Regular" in a dynamic text box, which loads a text file. i understand that to include the bold and italic options, i have placed another text box just out of view off the stage with these two options selected.italic works fine but the bold makes very little difference... it only stretches the font slightly.i've searched for the answer to make a much bolder font and it seems you can use a specific bold font as the bold font.i've tried this, but nothing happens. i think i'm interpreting it correctly, but if someone could please confirm this works and perhaps explain it a little clearer (using my specific font names... "AGBookBQ-Regular" and "AGBookBQ-Medium" as the bold font).

Where's 'CS4' as a prefix to the post title? Anyway. I'm using _sans font for my flash work, because i want the font to display as the default _sans font on the device/platform. Why in CS4 (not checked earlier versions, but im sure CS3 didnt do this) is the (font) 'Style' drop down greyed out?
View 2 RepliesWhen creating mobile apps I thought the best practise was to use _sans font, so that the device uses its' native device font when the app runs (for dynamic text, anyhow...)? So, I use _sans font for my app. But why in CS3 could I make _sans font bold, but in CS4 I can't? Am I being stupid here....is there something obvious I'm missing? The 'style' box is greyed out in CS4.

I am working on a as3 project in which the user select a font from Combo Box and that font SWF should be loaded Dynamically and then i need to change the font of the Dynamic text field.
I have swf font files downloaded from [URL]
My question is that how can i load the font swf dynamically from server and add them to the library and how can i use that swf to change the font of dynamic text field.
if there are embedded fonts in library the i can access them using this- --
var fontList:Array = Font.enumerateFonts();
for( var i:int=0; i<fontList.length; i++ )
{
trace( "font: " + fontList[ i ].fontName );
}
But How to use dynamically loaded Font swf as a font type.
I've got a bunch of dynamic and input text boxes. I want the display font to be Arial-bold. I don't have a genuine Arial-bold font so what I really want is Arial with a bold attribute. I've tried all of the following but the result is always just plain Arial:
1. Put dummy text in box, specify Arial, click Bold attribute, click Embed and include numbers and punctuation - run time result: plain Arial
2. Import Arial to library, give it the name f-Arial Bold, click the bold attribute box, check linkage and export for AS3 in first frame, get warning about class name (not sure why), put dummy text in box, specify f-Arial Bold*, click Embed and include numbers and punctuation - run time result: plain Arial
So I have a MovieClip asset with a dynamic textfield sitting inside of it. I export my .fla as a .swc to use within Flash Builder 4, and create instances of the asset with code, populating the text dynamically from XML.
My issue is that even though I have htmlText enabled, bold and italics tags don't appear to be working. I have a feeling it is because when I created the asset in Flash CS4, the text field makes you specify the font, and the subset of that to use (Regular, Bold, Oblique, etc).
Is there any way to get the htmlText to render bold and italics tags properly without having to completely rethink the way I'm creating all these fields?

I am putting the finishing touches on an as3 project (developped in flex for code and flash cs4 to create the UI) and I am running into a mysterious font issue.
1) I am loading in a swf file with the font outlines (empty dynamic textfields with embedded characters on the stage. One text field for each regular / bold / italic / bold italic font styles).
2) I then load the swf and then in order to make sure that all font faces are properly available I list them in the output window with the following function:

The font just displays as normal and the 'fontWeight' property is ignored.

-Adobe Flash IDE (CS3)
-AS3
First off let me say I did try creating an extra text field off of the main stage set to Bold, and it's Verdana so I'm not exactly "selecting" a second font file all together to be embedded. Instead I am just setting the textfield property Bold to ON.
SO FAR I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but it does not want to go Bold. Aside from using Flex, which I know nothing about.
In the Flash IDE, I have made a dynamic text field bold. When the Flash is compiled and run, the bold styling disappears. How do I retain the bold styling?

View 9 RepliesI have a client that I build a business card "builder" application for in Flex. All the text elements that users add to the stage are Flex spark TextArea. I have a list of fonts that we allow the user to set on the text areas and some of the fonts included do have Bold and Italic versions of the font. The others that do not I simply disable these options in the control panel so the user doesn't have the option to click bold or italic buttons.
Photoshop does something similar if you load a font that doesn't have Bold or Italic options they disable the dropdown that would allow you to select these options in the text pallet http://grab.by/bOTC
When bold and italic aren't an included font face then Photoshop as a couple of buttons for applying Faux Bold and Italic to the font. Basically they programmatically thicken up the font face or slat it to make it look italic.
I've tried just setting fontWeight and fontStyle on the fonts that don't have bold or italic included in the embedded fonts and the result usually is a "web safe" font shows instead of the selected font or nothing at all happens.
I am wondering if there is a programmatic way that anyone has found that will do this in Flash / Flex. Basically thicken the font face or tilt it slightly to look italic. My guess is this would be pretty difficult and not worth the time and effort to the client but would be a neat thing to figure out and have a solution for.
I want to use the "Calibri" font bold/normal styles.It doesn't seem to embed properly though.I have tried every different way to embed it but it just doesn't embed properly.Its blurry compared to static textfields,and the bold text shows up as not bold...has anyone been able to embed this font properly?

I have a text field in Flash (CS4, using AS3), the font is set to Helvetica Neue, and it looks fine as a static text field, but looks bold when it is set to dynamic. What causes this? Is there anyway around this problem (other than setting the field to static)? Is there a way to control tracking with TextFormat in AS3? You can control leading with the object, but I can't seem to find a way to put more space between letters.
