Html :: Bold And Regular Font In Dynamic Text Under A Mask In Flash ?
Feb 20, 2010I have this text "my text is <b>bold</b> and regular".
I want "<b>bold</b>" to be... well, let's say... bold !
I have a mask layer under which there is a text field.
The text field shows htmlText, and i must embed chars. If not embedded, it doesn't display because of the mask. So the solution of importing 2 user fonts ( one bold and one regular) does not work.

Jul 21, 2009I'm populating a dynamic text field using instance_mc.textField_txt.htmlText = "some string of text";Can this method of populating a text field be styled with CSS? or do you have to use an external text file?One thing I have tried is using basic html tags <br> tags in the string and this works, and so does <b> bold is there away of just specifying in the string a different font size and colour?I've tried writing an inline css style and this didn't seem to work.My text field is not created with as, but the movie clip in which the text field resides is added from the library in a function.say for example i have "Ricky55<br>Some Street"; is it possible to make Ricky55 in a larger font that some street?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Set Up/ Dynamic Text/ Lost ?
Sep 23, 2003I want to create a draft program for fantasy league football that will be viewed on an external monitor by all of the participants.The program will have all of the "draftable" players.I want to be able to click on the player (or drag) and have that player show up in the participants picked box while deleting (or changing the properties) of the player.
Questions: 1. Should I use variables and arrays for all of the draftable players to accomplish this or would it be easier to just use combo boxes? Mind you that there are about 250 draftable players.
2.Should I have a seperate mc for all of the draftable positions and all of the participants.
3.
Code:
quarterbacks = newArray
line[0] = "1. Donovan Mcnabb";
line[1] = "2. Rich Gannon";
How do I get a hard return in the above sample?
4.How do I dynamically put the picks in the participants draft box?

I have both the regular and bold versions of the font embedded into the swf, I can test out just a bold block of text and it works fine. The css is also working as it will change the size of the text that I tell it to. Everything is working, but for some reason I am not able to get the bolder version of the font to display in the same text box as the regular one. I have also tried to change fonts but had the same outcome.

View 1 RepliesBold Font In Dynamic Text
Mar 17, 2009i'm using a font called "AGBookBQ-Regular" in a dynamic text box, which loads a text file. i understand that to include the bold and italic options, i have placed another text box just out of view off the stage with these two options selected.italic works fine but the bold makes very little difference... it only stretches the font slightly.i've searched for the answer to make a much bolder font and it seems you can use a specific bold font as the bold font.i've tried this, but nothing happens. i think i'm interpreting it correctly, but if someone could please confirm this works and perhaps explain it a little clearer (using my specific font names... "AGBookBQ-Regular" and "AGBookBQ-Medium" as the bold font).

You can control leading with the object, but I can't seem to find a way to put more space between letters.

If I select the text field in Flash and change the color or size those attributes will change in the published version, but... when I click the B button, it won't render the text bold in the published version.Do I have to add additional font formatting in the actual ActionScript?

Jan 6, 2010I'm trying to update an old CS3 project, which had a dynamic text field with HTML formatted text using the <b> tag to create bold text in places. In the CS4 version the bold text simply doesn't show up. It does in the CS3 version. I have embedded the font in both regular and bold varieties, both by using the offstage empty text field method, and the font in library method. I simply can't get it to work. I've seen other people having this problem with CS4 on other forums, but no solutions or workarounds as yet.

View 18 RepliesActionScript 1/2 :: Bold And Italic Fonts In Dynamic Text Fields?
May 24, 2006I have a dynamic text field with the text "IMAGES". The font is Arial, it has BOLD and ITALIC checked, and has basic Latin fonts embedded. Now, I use Actionscript to change the text:
textField.text = "IMAGES";
Suddenly the text disappears! Now, it seems to me that since BOLD and ITALIC are checked on the text field, changing the .text value should simply change the text itself, which should then be rendered in bold and italic, and since I have bold+italic Latin glyphs embedded, it should display properly. But what's clearly happening is that when I set the text using Actionscript, it is attempting to display the NORMAL font instead, and since it's not embedded, it won't display. I know this because if I create another proxy text field off the screen and embed the NORMAL Arial glyphs, the original text field's text will display just fine - as normal-weight text.
But why is this? Do I have to use a TextFormat object to set the text to Bold and Italic EVERY time I want to dynamicaly change the text? This seems silly. I simply want my text field to be bold and italic every time the text changes, and NO normal text!

IDE :: Dynamic Bold Text Seems To Render While Omitting Character Spaces
Oct 19, 2009Just to give you a little background, I am using CS4 and AS3, publishing to FP9. I am embedding fonts dynamically at runtime and there seems to be an issue with my dynamic 'html' text field when I have <b> tags within the CDATA.
In some cases, Flash seems to be rendering the bold text too close to the preceding character. Sometimes, even overlapping the preceding character. For the most part, this appears to be happening when the bold text appears at the end of the line before the text is wrapped.
I will note that, any text in the xml file wrapped in <b></b> tags is actually appearing bold, so I don't think it has anything to do with font embedding. In case it does, here is how I am embedding the font groups:
// Semi Bold
[Embed(source="/fonts/Anvers/AnversSemiBold.otf", fontName="AnversSemiBold", fontWeight="normal", fontStyle="regular", advancedAntiAliasing="true", mimeType="application/x-font")]
public static const ANVERS_SEMI_BOLD:Class;

View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Getting Bulleted, Bold, Embedded Text To Display In Flash CS5
Sep 29, 2011I'm trying to get Flash to display a bulleted list using bold embedded fonts.
What I'm finding is that I can get bold fonts with bullets, but not embedded. Or embedded fonts with bullets that aren't bold, or bold embedded fonts without bullets.
This is incredibly frustrating (as well as annoying).
I'm embedding the fonts in the library and exporting them via actionscript. Here's my code...
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.multiline = true;
tf.width = 100;
tf.x = 200;
[Code]....
The above code produces the regular font embedded bulleted list.
If I change the bulletTF.font line to bulletTF.font = myFontBold.fontName The font goes bold and the bullets go away.
