Actionscript 3 :: Embed Fonts At Runtime To Use For Existing Dynamic Textfield Instances In SWFs?
May 25, 2011
I'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
[Code].....
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 have two TLF textfileds in my application. The first TLF textfield is on the stage and the second one is created dynamically during runtime. Now I am able to embed the fonts in the first TLF textfield by using "use device fonts" since it is on stage. The flash player the rendering the data absolutely fine. I want to get the same look and feel for the second TLF textfield which is created dynamically during runtime. I tried so many ways.
Here is the code I am trying.

I 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.

I'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;

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.

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 have created a Flash file which will act as our company's standard presentation / portfolio of all previous projects. I've pretty much got it running the way I want, but I've just tried it on a few different computers and realised that the fonts aren't embedded. I've used our corporate font so it needs to look right. Having read the following documentation [URL] I now understand how to embed fonts for one dynamic text object at a time. However, I have a lot of different dynamic text objects in the file and I would dearly love to embed them all in one step! The same embedding options can be applied to just about all objects, as they're all the same size and font.

I've seen the Loom project, but are there any alternatives that are more mature (and actively developed)? I am looking for something that would allow load-time weaving of pointcuts into existing binary code at runtime with the AVM2 runtime.
Has any work been done in this area?

Presume there is a textField with fonts embedded using Flash (CS4) IDE's "Character Embedding" option of the textField property panel.How these embedded characters are stored actually?Is the embedded fontset accessible beyond this single textFiled and how?Is there any way to clone such a textFiled in runtime having a new dynamic textFiled object with all embedded characters included?

I 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.

I've been using Flash for a few years now and I've recently (5 months+) started using CS5 package.My query is how do I successfully embed accented latin characters into a "classic" dynamic text field in my compiled Flash movie that are called from an external text file. I've searched the various forums online and all the methods demonstrated have not worked.
What I've done so far is to to select my dynamic text field, click on "Embed" within the PROPERTIES area, choose the font and the weight, then add any of the foreign characters and/or glyphs to the "Also include these characters:" area then finish up and compile. When I run my SWF file, the glyphs and accented fonts are missing but all the other typical Latin characters show up.
I tried this same method in CS4 (because we have an old Mac in the office too), and almost the same thing happened except instead of completely missing out the glyphs and fonts, it showed a box (almost like an image placeholder) instead.

I can't get my text to show in a text field created at runtime within a movieclip on _root. I use a trace statement and it loads into the Output box but is not visible in the textField area. there are no masks in the movieClip.
My function for creating it...
// Call the function to create textField
printBtn.onRelease = function() {
makeTxtBox("text/print.txt");

I am really at a lose end with this - I have a flash file called in xml into a dynamic textfield. It works fine with English but when I try and put Greek into the xml the flash file then doesn't show the font. The font is verdana - which can be translated and I have embedded the font, with greek and made sure my xml is unicode-8 - but it still shows nothing.

In my main swf I load preloader swf that contains two layers on time line. First layer is gradient shape and second layer is dynamic text field with instance name preloaderTxt that I am trying to access. Well I load it with success and in event complete I have this code:
Code:
preloader = new Sprite();
preloader = Sprite(loader.content);
preloaderHolder = new Sprite();
stage.addChild(preloaderHolder);
preloaderHolder.addChild(preloader);
I tried this:
trace(preloader.getChildAt(1));
trace(preloader.getChildAt(1).name);
First trace is: [object TextField]
Second trace is: preloaderTxt
But when I try to set its text property like this:
Code:
preloader.getChildAt(1).text = "test"
i get this error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property text through a reference with static type
Code:
flash.display:DisplayObject.

i'm pulling my hair over this. i have sucessfully (verified) loaded an xml file and can trace the data i'd like to pass. i am loading the external swf into an empty mc called X. in the external swf i am loading is a mc and in there is a dynamic textfield. i give the content of the xml to the path to the dynamic textfield and nothing happens. trying to pass the variable with: target.text = content;
i listed the variables and objects in the test movie debug option (command+enter) and i can see the dynamic text box variable. then i took copied the path from the output window to my actionscript, replaced _level0 with _root but still to no avail. what am i doing wrong? do i have to publish the swf being loaded in a certain way? why am i able to look at the variables in the debug list variables and objects option, but not in the actionscript?

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.

i have embedded the simhei simplified Chinese font in a .swf for a font Library. I need to make a list of buttons, that are labeled with all the embedded fonts in the .swf. All the other languages were done in CS4 so there is font registering and everything and the .as for it. I am pretty new to flash, and i am working in CS5 but i don't know how to get a hold of the font i already embedded to turn it into a font button.

One of my customers has many SWF and he would like to port them to iPad. However, he only has the SWFs, not the FLAs. I'd like to know if it is a way to run the SWFs inside an Air for iOS app. I've read you can import then with a Loader, but they will only run as an animation ignoring all the code inside them. UPDATE] I've read something about using SWC, but still not sure if they will run the code.

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.

I have an issue with an apparent bug in Flash Pro CS5.5. I have recently upgraded to CS5.5 Master Collection from my previous version of 4.0. The bug is when I create a fonts FLA file with fonts embedded in it that I want to use throughout an entire site. I correctly configure those fonts as export for runtime sharing.
In any other FLAs in which I wish to use the shared fonts, I either (a) drag the assets from one library to the other, or (b) add them to the new fla and configure them as import for runtime sharing (both of which achieve the same result).

Posting this is my last resortïż½I've spent the entire afternoon trying to figure this out. I'm to load a font at runtime using some updated code found here. The problem is no matter what I try I always get the following error:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter font must be non-null.
at flash.text::Font$/registerFont()
at cardmaker::FontLoader/fontLoaded()
which is saying that "FontLibrary._Bradley" is null in registerFont(); I know the swf exists on the server and the font symbol is being Exported for ActionScript with a class name and symbol name of both "_Bradley".
