Actionscript 3 :: Make A Custom Flash Component Work With Any Font?
Jun 21, 2011So we have a component we have written ourselves that deals with text display and translation between languages, reading translations from a file. Ideally what we would like to do is have this component be compatible with any font we can embed in the main .swf's library. What's the best way to do that?
Currently we are going down the route of having our component have an attribute for the font name, lets say 'Font1'. We drag the component into the .FLA file we want and then add a new font to the library called 'Font1' and set it to the typeface we want. This is proving to be inconsistent and problematic which implies it's not really an ideal way of doing it.
Is there anyway to achieve the feature we want? The key is flexibility, we want to easily support languages (hence the component) but we don't want design to be limited in their font selection. Its not practical to embed a range of fonts in the component for example, as it adds to file size and is restrictive.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Custom Dynamic Font Implementation?
Mar 19, 2011I've come across a potential issue that I think I will be able to solve, although it seems to be to be something that may already have a solution, so I thought it best to save time and check.
I'm basically looking to create a menu where the labels are highly detailed and visually pleasing. The problem is that each and every label needs to be dynamically generated so that the menu is shown in the correct language.
My issue is this: is their a method in flash of defining letters for use as a font that aren't just flat colours? Imagine taking each letter into an image editing program, applying some effects to it, then important them all into flash as graphics/bitmap data. Could those graphics then be defined as letters in a font so that, when the swf is handed the string, it can create the dynamic label from my lovely looking alphabet?
I have a few ideas on how to implement a system using arrays and swapping the dynamic textfields for dynamically created movies, but that would mean building it from the ground up, something which may not be necessary if something similar already exists.
Anyway, I look forward to your replies; this forums has unknowingly solved a large number of my problems in the past, and acted as a safety rope as I learnt AS3. Now that I am on this forum I will likely try and take some time to give something back and help out other beginners, at least I will do when my thesis is finished

ActionScript 3.0 :: Custom Font - User To Be Able To Select The Text?
Jul 27, 2011ok so i have drawn some letters up, this way i can have everything looking just the way i like. i was going to put it in as an image but then it hit me, what if i wanted the user to be able to select the text? so i wanted to ask if there was a way you could make it act like a textfield. i was thinking it finds the character value and gives a value of 1-26. 1 being a and 26 being z. then it adds the movieclip to stage, changes to the frame relying on that value i just mentioned and positions itself accordingly.but what i haven't thought of yet is how you'd make it selectable.

Css :: Embedding Font In Flex Locally With A Installed Font Works, But With Url To Refer To A Ttf Font File Doesn't
Feb 7, 2011I'm trying to embed a font in my project by using url("font.ttf") rather than local("Font Name"), but it doesn't seem to pick it up. The font in question is called "Gotham Bold". When i view the details of the font, the font weight is regular, however when i use local("Gotham Bold") in the css i have to specify fontWeight: bold or else it wont pick it up. But when I use url("folderGotham-Bold.ttf"), and specify fontWeight: bold, it says that font weight is not found for that TTF. If i remove the fontweight, there's no errors, but the font is not applied to the text.

Flash :: Embed Font Will Replace Or Complete Another Embeding Font?
Feb 9, 2011I have a swf A, which contains no font.If I download into it the swf F1, which contains few characters of Arial, then I'll have the arial font embed into A, no problem with that.But if, then, I download the swf F2, which contains other characters of Arial into swf A, will I be able to use all the embed characters font, only the F2, or only the F1 ?I'd like to have a link to somewhere where this is explained, even in very technical terms : I wasn't able to find one.
EDIT : After few tests, it seems that the player replace the loaded font... How can I merge them, then ?
Embed A Font In Flash And Have It Displayed As Though It Was A Device Font?
Jul 19, 2009Is it possible to embed a font in Flash and have it displayed as though it was a device font? In other words, can embedded fonts be aliased?Using the bitmap-text option doesn't work, Flash tends to screw up a lot of the character spacing. I haven't found any pixel fonts that mimic Arial, Verdana and Tahoma accurately. Setting the stage quality to low does alias the fonts but they become fragmented.Using device fonts is an option but, as far as I understand, some browsers/operating systems will take it upon themselves to anti-alias the text.

View 3 RepliesWill Embedded Font Set Impact Load Time
May 26, 2009Example: a vendor returned a Chinese version of an SWF demo with a file size of 14,692kb. Some clients report load times up to 4 or 5 minutes and some time out.
The vendor claims they have embedded only the characters needed for the copy in the demo, however when we ran the SWF files through a decompiler we found embedded Chinese character sets with up to 21,000 glyphs (the entire Chinese alphabet, + characters in other alphabets like Arabic).
My question, would a 14.5 MB SWF file, with 2 sets of embedded Chinese fonts, each with glyph counts of 21,000+ (for a total glyph count of over 43,000), take several minutes to load from the web?
