I have two text fields, textL and textR, that read like a book with a specific height and width. Currently I have the external .txt/.php set up variables for each page. Example of book.txt :Code:&page1=Hi this is page one.&page2=And this is page two.I am looking for ideas on how to approach using just one variable which is split at the absolute end of textL with the rest of the variable or string loading into textR. Basically, automating the split of the text when it runs out of space in each field.
View 3 RepliesI made a page with a dynamic textfield which gets its text from an xml file.The text is italian, so contains characters as. None of these are recognised if I test my page, instead of these letters I see blank spaces. -I tried with embed, include special characters autofill, but that didn't do anything. -I read an article on this site about embedding international characters which says to put System.useCodePage=true; I did so, but got an error message. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
View 3 RepliesI have a couple questions about dynamic text fields. Is it possible to embed multiple fonts? Are color and font size dynamic? Is there a way to make scalable text? Is there a way to make a the contents of a dynamic text field a link to whatever URL might be typed into it?

in action script 3.0.
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

tf.bold = true;
tf.align = "left";
[Code] .....
I embedded the "Verdana" font in ma fla named "Verdana". But my issue is the text filed is not showing the special characters. How can I embed in codes, I don't use the text filed from the component library. Everything was created only through action script 3.0 code.
drawPanel is a movieclip which contains 23 textfields which I've created in the lib. 23 textfields has their instance name.. var1, var2.. etc... I need to ref dynamically to the textfields to input the characters. I see people using getDefinitionByName however can't get that to work.

I'm trying to embed a handful of European language characters into a little flash news ticker (Swedish, Norwegian and some others). I'm embedding my swf file in the html and passing a FlashVars variable This is the text that the ticker displays. For some reason the swf doesn't render the character when I put a foreign character such as in the HTML. I have embedded all these fonts in the dynamic text box in my .fla
Attached is the .fla and .html file where you can input the text for the swf to display. Please have a look for me! (attached zip at bottom of post)

I'm having an issue with a particular font where, when using dynamic textFields the kerning is all out of whack. When using static textFields, it's fine, and when I check "Use Device Fonts" it's also fine, but when using dynamic textFields with embedded fonts, everything is jacked. The font is Blender Pro Bold. Regular and Heavy work fine, but for some reason Bold is messed up. Is it just that there is a problem with the font?

View 4 RepliesI have created a dynamic text box which is used to put the length of a sound clip (which is worked out using AS2).
I want to use a font which isn't standard - VAGRounded, so I need to embed the characters.
If I select Family : VAGRounded and Style : thin then all is well. Ditto if I pick style:light but if I pick Style:bold or Style:black then the nothing displays
In my windows font folder all 4 appear to exist.
I notice that exactly the same appears to happen with the times font too (except some of the family options are different)
When I open the font-mapping box it tells me that there aer some fonts that I can't use but there is not list of what they are.

I have to embed VAGRounded bold. I can't seem to get it to work reliably. I have created 4 dynamic text boxes, one for each of the 4 styles and embedded the characters into each one for the 4 versions of the font. I then wrote some text directly into the boxes on the stage.
I created a 5th dynamic box and called it "test". I set the family to VAG ROunded, style:bold (ie just like one of the ones above). I then embedded the characters into it.
I added this dead simple as2
Code:
stop();
test.text="hello"
THis 5th text box looks NOTHING like the bold one from above, as you can see in the attached image.
I am trying to embed a font in my actionsrcipt and the characters don't display at all when the embedFont = true. If it is set to false it displays the characters. I really need this to work because I want to maintain consistency with the font used through out the site.
The problem is that its not a common device font. The TextField is set up in another class I created and the the text formating is applied when the for loop runs in the initialization of the class I'm working in. I've tried everything I can think of and it just will not embed the font and display it.

I have the following code:
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "arial";
aRButton.textField.antiAliasType = "advanced";
aRButton.setStyle("textFormat", tf);
aRButton.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
When i run this i get antialias on my radiobutton but the Swedish characters å, ä and ö disappears. Is there a way to manually embed these characters?
I'm developing an app in Flash AS3 for a target audience in Europe and America. So now I need to embed the characters for the photo caption text field. There are "Basic Latin", "Latin Extended A", "Latin Extended B", "Latin Extended Add'l" and other sets available.
Are there some informations on which characters are really necessary or do I need to embed all sets? (There is an option to pick just some characters of them)
I've created dynamic textfield and textformat, I also embedded the fonts but, special characters(like č,ģ,ļ,ķ,ņ) won't show up, how to embed them? In library I have my specific font with linkage name myFont. Here's the code :
[Code]....
From Flash UI I would go to dynamic text properties -> embed fonts and then manually enter desired special characters. But how to do it with code? Seriously I searched a lot and can't find the answer, surely there must be a way how to do it properly with actionscript.
this may be a basic thing, but i couldn't find an answer by serching internet. I have created a simple button - Istance name = "btnsample"and there are two layers layer 0- button design with rollovers - layer 1- dynamic text field - instance name = "txtbtnlabel"btnsample.txtbtnlabel.text = "new button label;but it's giving followin error :-119:Access of possible undefined propety txtbtnlabel through a reference with static type flash.display:simpleButton.
View 2 RepliesMaking a piano/keyboard application and trying to figure out the best way to set this up .I plan on having a directory of sounds for each 'instrument' in my assets folder (piano1/C4.mp3,piano1/D4.mpg,...)Is there a way to import/embed all of these as an array? Also is there a way I can pass a variable to this class to indicate which folder I want to import these from? Something that would be ideal
var type = "piano2"; //passed from class being called by
foreach(notes as note){
[Embed(source = 'assets/sounds/'+type +'/'+note+'.mp3')] private const C3:Class;
public var c3:Sfx = new Sfx(C3);
}
Or would it be a better idea to have a class for each of these "types" that pulls all notes?
I'm having some issue with embedding Traditional Chinese characters from the Arial Unicode MS font. I've used the character set described here (0x4E00 - 0x4FFF).[code]...

View 2 RepliesWhen embedding fonts programmatically, (example here), is it possible to specify certain characters as you might if embedding within the Flash IDE?Here is my code so far, which simply embeds the font. It works, but I am assuming that it is embedding an entire character set.

I have a Flash file which contains some dynamic text boxes. ActionScript is being used to fill these boxes using strings. However, I can't seem to get Chinese characters to appear properly. I've tried the actual unicode character as well as their unicode-escaped equivalent but when I export the movie, nothing shows up (blank - it was assumed that the characters are not even present).
View 3 RepliesI have the following project structure: A Flex Project (SDK 3.3) Multiple SWCs with grafics and textfields that are used as components in the Flex project.
Since I have a lot of SWCs that all use the same font in dynamic textfields, I do not want to embed the font in every SWC.Instead I want to have a library (RSL?) with the font from where all the SWCs load the font.
I tried to build a library file with the fonts using the "Export for runtime sharing" feature in Flash.While it works perfectly when I stay in Flash, Flex throws an "internal build error" when I try to use these SWCs in Flex.
I'm creating a wrapper SWF that needs to embed multiple swf's using the [Embed ] tag in Actionscript 3.How can i embed a custom swf when compiling a as3 project using the flex sdk, E.G:

However i want to specify the 'source' location at compile time.How can i do this?
I'm using a for loop and creating multiple textfields in that, that populate with variables from an aspx page.My issue is that no matter what I do I cannot get all these fields to datapage or scroll, I place them in another movie clip, and assign them to that clip, and I can scroll the background contents of the clip but not the dynamic fields.All the scrollbar tutorials for textfields are based on single textboxes or graphics. What can I do to get all the generated fields to scroll inside the stage area?The function of this is to pull from a database of flights that gets updated, and allow the user to select and view what times/dates etc. are available.
