Find Out What Movie Clip Contains The Missing Font Flash Is Complaining About?
Sep 1, 2011
I have a fairly convoluted FLA with oodles of MCs that in turn have tons of text fields. When I first fire up the IDE I get an error saying that there's a missing font and offering me my font list to substitute. The thing is that I don't know where this font came from and would love to just set it correctly once and for all, but I just don't know what text field its in, and am unable to find it, just doing a manual search.
Is there some mechanism by which I can locate where this is set and change it?

When i open the same file in Flash CS4 IDE i get the Missing Font Dialog and then it asks to Map "Arial" to another font.When i map missing "Arial" to "Arial" with style "Regular"..all Arial text boxes change to "Regular",even the one with "Bold" face.I even installed Arial font again but found the same problem?

Q1) The registration point of a created clip is top left - my question is how can I dynamically change it's registration point - say to center center?
(I am trying to attach a movie clip to a created clip and I wanted it to be centered inside the container - a related sub-question, how can I find the x-y coordinates of the attached movie clip within the created movie clip?)
Q2)When I tried to create two different movie clips, I found I had to create them at different depths, else the first would load and the second would not. Why would that be so? I'm on MX 2004 Pro.

A project I am am working on has an extremely strange font problem. We have completely unpredictable glyphs missing on Mac compilations inspite of correct font embedding and correct font installations on the machines. Here is some of the context:
1. The Font is a custom truetype font which belongs to the client.
2. We are working on CS5 on the Mac, and CS4 on PC.
3. We are using classic dynamic texts, assigning striungs to the text attribut (not to htmlText). However the probel also occurrs with other classic text modes (single-line, multi line, kerening on or off, etc)
4. It is not predictable whether the glyphs of the font will show or not on the Mac CS5 compilations or not.
5. The issue does not seem to occurr with standard fonts like Courier or Helvetica.
6. Compiling on CS4 on PC works correctly.

I have a Flash CS4 FLA throwing the following error when I hit Ctrl+Enter to test the movie: WARNING: Multiple 3D objects on the same frame have the same instance name. 3D instance names must be unique. All but one of the instances will be renamed during export. On my layers, I can't see any duplicate instance names, and Flash doesn't give me ANY indication as to which names are causing the problem. I know it's to do with two layers making use of 3D Tween. When I hide them, the problem goes. I've even tried removing and replacing the Symbols. First of all, I have to have the objects on those layers Tween in 3D, and I have to give them instance names as I refer to them from ActionScript code.

I am attempting to write a font panel that shows a list of the users fonts. I am coming across a problem however where enumerateFonts seems to skip many font variants for several fonts. For example, I have 50 variants of Myriad Pro activated on my machine, but enumerateFonts only returns 12 of them. The missing ones seem to primarly be bold, itlaic and oblique variations.

having a really frustrating problem. I have a file, originally penned by anoother developer in CS3 and resaved as CS4. It uses datagrids extensively. When clicking on a cell in a data grid it now fails to render the font (or a blinking carat for that matter). When you click off and finish the edit the text you enter is there, of course that isn't much use because you can't see what you're typing.I haven't changed how these grids work in anyway, and it was working in CS4 before *mysteriously* stopping.Have tried setting the font to one that is embedded in the setStyle of the custom renderer the cell is using but it makes no difference - everything renders fine when not editing but disappears when editing.

Here is my dilema. I need to know how to find what level a specific movie within a movie on the main timeline is on.
I am confused because I am not even using external swf's so there should be no levels
I have tried finding the level using
_root.moviename
_level0.moviename
but when i try to assign this to an array variable it outputs as undefined.I have been able to put some other movies in arrays using _level0.moviename
but these movies are nested inside a main movie that is found on the main timeline.

I have a Movie Clip which consists of a text-box with some text in it.I am trying to tween this movie clip so it either moves randomly throughout the animation or have the movie clip bounce off the edges similar to a standard screen saver you might see. While slowly changing it's text through many different font families Is it possible to have a movie clip tween randomly through an animation and is it possible to change the text to many different families in a slow transition.

I am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

So in Illustrator you can "Find Font" in your document so you can pinpoint and change or delete text using that said particular font.In Flash I have a piece of text using an old font somewhere in my FLA (I've updated with a new one for all text since) and I'd like to locate it and either delete it or replace it with the font I'd like to use. When I open the file it prompts me in regards to me not having this old font any longer (the font I'd like to remove) and I tell it each time to use the newer font

I have a very simple practice program for Flex 4 ( Gumbo ).
[Code]...
Why does it think that cPicker is static? Or that cPicker.hexValue is undefined? Also it seems that even after importing the ColorPicker library in the code using the import keyword, I somehow have to import it on the commandline for building as well. Is that correct?

I recently updated text in a page. Now, when I test the movie, random characters within the modified text are missing. Is this a bug or am I overlooking something? I am using Adobe Flash CS3 on Windows XP.

I'm using Flash CS 5. When I look at FLA project tree, I see Use Count column next to a movie clip. How do I find where this movie clip is used?
I'm hoping there is a 'Find usages' or 'Find references' feature since Flash CS knows about usage of a movie clip.

I've searched the web and tried a number of different approaches to embed a font in my Flash movie but each has ended in frustration. I have created several buttons with dynamic text fields that use the font I need. I have added the font to my library, given it a unique name, exported for actionscript and then used the unique name when selecting the font in my dynamic text fields. I am probably not using the right AS code to embed and use the font. What's the easiest way to embed the font? I am also using the same embedded font in a around 5 flash movies on the site.

I have a cms where my client loads banner ads from their clients. They don't know the dimensions or don't want to enter them when they upload the banners. Is it possible to capture the dimensions to set the object attributes as we grab the movies from the db to display in the page?I read that the movie dimensions are available in the loaderinfo object, but this is a AS3 object right? Are AS3 objects available outside the flash movie? Can I access the loaderobject via javascript?The Flash movies we're trying to load are not ours, we don't have access to the flas or anything like that so we can't edit anything to do with the movies themselves.

I'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.

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]

I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.
