Flash :: Convert Classic Textfield To TFL Texfield Dynamically?

Nov 22, 2011

I have a project which has loads of FLA's with embedded textfields on the timelines. We now need to localize this project into Arabic, with right-to-left text (pulled in from XML) - my understanding is that this is only possible with TLF textfields.

It's going to be a huge task to manually convert all these texfields to TLF. Is there a way to programmatically set a normal textfield to be a TLF textfield?

Flash :: Convert Textfield Into Group Of MovieClips?

Nov 16, 2011

I have a dynamically created textfield, and I would like to convert this textfield into a movieclip containing a childmovieclip for each letter of the text, so that i can animate the letters individually (for example treat them as particles and make them explode). Of course the converted movieclip should still look the same way as the original textfield.

ActionScript 3 :: Flash TextField - Dynamically Embedding Fonts Using Class

Jan 18, 2011

I'm working on font embedding in Flash (flas are compiled using CS5 made previously in CS3). The project is split into a number of separate flas, and I'm having trouble with one particular one. I'm dynamically embedding the fonts using a class I wrote that sits on top of the stage listening for Event.ADDED then searching for textfields that have dynamic text and embedding the font needed dynamically (No efficiency requirements here. I have a check so that I don't bother processing textfields that are already embedded. No textfields in any of the flas (to my knowledge) have fonts embedded.

But some textfields are saying that they are, as in
textfield.embedFonts == true.

In the fla global font embedding, that no fonts are embedded. If I click on the actual textfields embed button, I see that the font of the textfield is in the font list, but no character ranges are embedded. This is leaving me confused, as I want absolutely no fonts embedded in any flas. But the font for the individual textfield is always in the font embed list, no matter how many times I remove it. If I click on the embed button for the textfield to check it there is no embedding then the font is added to the list without any character ranges.

Professional :: Flash CS5 With Classic Text

Jul 26, 2010

I got Flash CS5 a few days ago and tried to compile some of my applications - got strange textfield representation, parts of words were missing. Very simple example to demonstrate something's not working right here:
 
-C-reate a textfield (classic; static) type "Test". Choose Arial Regular as Font.

-Create an input textfield (classic), choose Arial Bold as Font, embed the font with all glyphs (or subgroup).

-Compile it: Try to type into the input textfield - no cursor (for me at least), nothing shows up.

If you embed the Arial Regular also (which should not be necessary for a static text), the input field does respond but shows Arial Regular instead of Bold.So it seems you cannot use two weights of the same font in one Flash movie?Using TLF it works fine - but I can't switch over yet, some of my customers do still use Player 9.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Classic Tween Vs Tweening?

Oct 29, 2010

I'm new for AS3. I have some question about the classic tween vs AS3 Tweening.

I tried to compare the swf file size of both.

the first one i make an animation with the classic Tween.

the second one i make an animation with AS3 Tweening.

before, i thought the script tweening one will much smaller than the classic tween one, but after i compare both, the AS3 Tweening one has bigger file size.

So my question is, 1.will the file size bigger if i use action script to move the object?

2.then what's the advantage to tween the object using AS3 for a flash website?

3.how can I compress the filesize(i'm trying to build a full flash site)?

Flash :: Get Classic Jaggy Edge On Rotated Sprites?

Feb 25, 2011

It seems like even if you set an Image object's smooth property to false, it doesn't make the Bitmap look jaggy on non-90-degree angles (jaggy = aliased, opposite of a smooth edges = anti-aliased).Is there any way to achieve this? Or do I have to construct the rotation-spritesheet by hand and interpret the "angles to sprite index" calculations myself?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Illustrator Text In CS5 - Change From TLF To Classic

Apr 19, 2011

I've just begun using Flash CS5 and I am really at a loss to explain the problems with text in imported Illustrator files. In CS3, which I've used for years, when you import an illustrator file the text is almost perfectly preserved. It has the correct fonts, the text weights are preserved, etc. All is well. In CS5 it converts everything to something called TLF text (whatever that is) and changes EVERYTHING to either _sans or _serif. You can't have both apparently. The fonts are not the same and it's not editable.

In order to set things right I have to change all the text from TLF to classic. THEN I have to change all the text to the proper font and weight. It is a serious problem. I've looked in preferences and on some other forums and I'm not seeing any answers at all. It seems insane to only allow sans or serif when importing and what is this TLF text anyway and why can't I have it default to classic, which seems to work like CS3.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Click On TextField / Convert Text To Bitmap/image?

Nov 6, 2008

What I have so far is a carouselmenu. I got a actionscript page (page1.as) where I load another one (page2.as) into. page2.as is a Sprite (or MC whatever). I can load and display the sprite in page1 successfully (several instances). I also have an eventhandler when i click on an instance of page2. The problem now is that I have defined a textField inside page2 that is also being displayed. What's not working here is that when I mouse over the text, I cannot click on it (the cursor turns into the cursor that appears when I mouse over a text as in MS Word or similar for being able to mark the text). So I thought of making a bitmap out of the text field. how to transform a text(field or string) into a bitmap?

Dynamically Sizing A Button With TextField

Jan 12, 2010

My question today is dealing with a dynamically generated button with a textField.I have the button copy in XML and I need to add a buffer of 10 pixels to either side of the textField. I tried to CENTER my textFormat, but then I could not see my text because the button is for some strange reason 545.45 instead of 88 like it should be. When I change the alignment to LEFT then I can see my text, but still the larger issue is my button size is horribly off.[code]
