Actionscript :: Create A Flash Fonts From Different Sources?
Aug 11, 2011
In Actionscript/Flash it is possible to create a swf which contains font data for emedding like this:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Font_times_new_roman extends Sprite {
[Embed(
[Code].....
now what i would like is, to create something like this with glyphs from different source fonts.
for example unicode character x should be taken from Arial, while character y should be from times new roman.

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.

Edited Short Version:The Adobe Flash docs list a property embedFonts on TextAreas:
A Boolean value that indicates whether the font specified in fontFamily is an embedded font. This style must be set to true if fontFamily refers to an embedded font. Otherwise, the embedded font is not used. If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed. The default value is false. Regarding the "If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed" statement: How can I detect in ActionScript when this scenario happens?
TL;DR Original Version: I have a flash application which loads external .swf files containing embedded fonts, so that these fonts can be used within the main application. We're accomplishing this by using the following ActionScript code on anything which uses custom fonts:

I have a rather big (34 MB) Flash CS4 AS3 swf being loaded as a whole into a preloader like
l.load(new URLRequest("sample.swf"));
What are my options to minimize loading time? Can I split the swf and load from several servers? I'm dynamically loading images from the library:
var myBitmapDataObject:myBitmapData = new myBitmapData(100, 100);
var myImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapDataObject);
addChild(myImage);
Right now I'm declaring/referencing every single image in order to get it included in the compiled clip. Any better way? Haven't got round to using Flex yet.

Can Flash Media Encoder handle several video sources and live srteam them all at the same time? We want to stream a few over the air broadcast sources using Flash Media Server v3.0. Is it possible to install several TV tuner cards into a PC and have Media Encoder live steam each of them at the same time? If not, can several copies of the software run on the same machine (each with it's own video source live streaming)?

I've recently had to format my computer and now having a problem with the flash actionscript window: the actionscript text looks like bold, or in a different font. The problem is that when I search for something like "flash" and "fonts", no matter which other words I use, always comes a lot of things about fonts for flash files, or for flash embedding fonts, but never for the program itself. Wich font is missing in my system that flash CS3 needs?

Tried to create a dynamic text field but then realized I cant embed the font the usual way (i.e. the properties panel).
this.createEmptyMovieClip("btn", 1);
btn.createTextField("txt", 10, 0, 0, 100, 50);
txt.autoSize = true;
btn.txt.embedFonts;
btn.txt.text = "Press";
btn.txt.setNewTextFormat(myFormat);

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 combed through the forums and read every font embedding article I could find and still I don't understand what's going on. I have created a simple test case that I have attached to this post. Hopefully someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.Here's the situation ...ultimately, my goal is to be able to dynamically create text fields with embedded fonts (I'm using Arial or Arial Unicode) that can display a variety of languages (English and Russian are the primary ones I'm working on right now). In the attached sample, I have added a font to the library and set it to use Arial Unicode.I have 3 text fields on the stage: Field 1 is generated entirely from code using createTextField, Field 2 is a design-time text field that uses the embedded library font, and Field 3 is a design-time text field that uses basic Arial rather than Arial Unicode.For the 2 design-time fields I have embedded the glyphs necessary to display English and Russian as well as some others.I also have a few buttons on the stage to create the 3rd text field (using createtextfield), send english or russian text to all 3 fields, and turn embedding on/off of the generated text field.
Here are the results I've found:With embedding OFF:English shows up fine in all 3 text fields (in the generated one, it uses the system default font instead).Russian shows up in the generated field and in the 3rd field (basic Arial) but NOT in the field that uses the embedded library font.With embedding ON:NOTHING shows up in the generated text field the 2 design time fields function the same as they did before.I REALLY don't understand why the design-time text field doesn't work when it uses the library version of the font. Why should that matter? I also don't get why even ENGLISH doesn't work in the generated field when embedding is on.
//EDIT: I just tried using Arial as the font for the generated text field rather than using the linkage name for the library font and now the embedding works. So I guess my main question is why it doesn't work using the library font....I thought that using the library font .

Right I can upload the font to the server.But the only examples I can find - require registerFont(Verdana);Which means I'll need to create a new SWF with the new font embedded and reupload to the server. I need an automated way of doing this or perhaps something different altogether?

In Mac OS X I previously had the ability to export FLV from a variety of sources- QuickTime, MPEG StreamClip, Unexpectedly, the flv export option is now missing. In CS3, there used to be an Adobe QuickTime plugin called "flv.component". That item is no longer installed by CS4.
- The Questions
1) Is it still possible to export FLV from QuickTime, etc.?
2) If possible, which installed file or files provides this capability?
OS X 10.5.8 QuickTime Pro 7.6.2

I'm curious if anyone has any idea how to use properly-formed XML, generated via script (and user-interaction) as a source for captions?
Since this is an AIR app, I know that I have the option to write a temp file to the application storage directory, but if I can avoid doing this, things will go much smoother.

I have an mp3player that loads an external mp3 file and plays. It works just fine if the url/location is hardcoded in the swf file. However, I need to be able to have the url passed to the flash externally so that a number of users may utilize this single swf build.
Example:
Current location need to be filename.mp3 or [URL]. However, I need this location to be edited per use of the swf. In php i know I could call it such as:
$myLocation = "123";
[URL]
or
$myLocation = "[URL]";
(The "123" is what changes for each page use)
Here is the code i have that is working just fine. Until I need to use a full url that changes for each page the swf is use on.
onClipEvent (load) {
if (playing!=true) {
playing=true;
soundIsLoaded=1
myMusic=new Sound();
myMusic.loadSound("myMusic.mp3",true)
}}
Limitations:
1. Because of the server set up, I am always required to call items using full absolute urls/paths.
2. php, cfm, xml etc are not available for use with this. -- the goal is to be able to give an webmaster a copy of the swf and the code to embed it on their html page... and that's it.

I have picked up a uiLoader component, and copy-pasted four times, so now I got five of them in my flash movie. Each got a different source (dresses/dresses1.swf, dresses/dresses2.swf, dresses/dresses3.swf, dresses/dresses4.swf, dresses/dresses5.swf). But When I launch the movie, all the 5 uiLoaders display the same content: dresses/dresses2.swf, and I can't understand why. For a test, I have replaced the .swf file with some jpeg files, and they were ok, but as I put the swf files back they show the same content again. The sources are ok, they work perfectly separately, so I can't figure out what is the reason why the swf files are loaded incorrectly..

I am loading multiple images into a class instance and I would like to keep track of how large the complete amount of loaded data is at any given point.I have grabbed the totalbytes from my directory of images via a PHP script... but collecting the new bytes from the ProgressEvent on each image seems tricky for some reason.Let's assume that the totalBytes variable is correct and that I am totally unfamiliar with the way that ProgressEvent works.Does an event get fired every time ProgressEvent gets a new byte? If not, how do I keep track of the current total bytes?[code]

My question is simple. Let's say I have 2 List Controls. 1 of Users and 1 of Tickets. (The 2 Sources). And I have a DataGrid (the target). Is possible to select 1 user and 1 ticket in the 2 list mentioned before and drag & drop them at the same time to the DataGrid? I know it's not as simple as they are going to get automatically mixed.. If it is possible... I would have to use the DragEnter Event of the Datagrid or something to mix them and create my dataProvider. But I don't know how you can drag & drop 2 items at the same time from different sources. It is possible with one source.. But no idea of how to do it with 2 sources.

I'm struggling setting up 4 live audio sources with fms 3.5. I have 4 streams input from our studios into 1 encoder server. From here I need to pass it to the internet via 4 FMS 3.5 servers. I do not want to have 4 * 4 encoding sessions on the encoder in order to service the 4 FMS servers. Is there any way to pull the streams from the encoders? I have also tried configuring explicit connections using 1 server as an origin server and 3 as edge servers but being a live stream the load and connections seem to get passed to the origin server which will eventually not handle the load. I've looked through the application.xml server settings but cannot seem to see any noticeable settings?

loadText.load("index.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
