Flash :: Font Rendering In Flex Sometimes Results In Characters A Couple Pixels Lower
Oct 31, 2009
Sometimes while typing in a textarea in Flex many characters will be rendered at one height then at some point on that same text line the rest of the characters are rendered a couple pixels lower than the rest. Here is an example, look at the last 'I' character, its low:
Sometimes changing the font size will fix this but its not consistent and its not something I can detect (and fix even if I could). Anybody got an idea why this happens? It happens for embedded and non-embedded fonts.

I'm currently upgrading an app from Flex 4.1 to 4.5.We've noticed that the Arial font is rendered differently between the two versions when used at small sizes.Here's a simple app example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"[code]....
When run against the 2 different sdks, here's an image of the font rendering we get:
Note that in 4.5 the font looks slightly squashed.
What's the cause of this, and how do we resolve it?

When I publish as a PNG with Alpha there are black pixels that are rendered on the edge of the image near where the text is.If I remove the text from the image the black pixels do not render and the alpha looks as intended.

i'm suddenly experiencing errors in font rendering in my project.the following image is a square sprite with a texture and 2 dynamic text fields as children.the text itself is correct. the bottom field is a 32-bit hexadecimal color ("H: 0xFFFFF4A1"), but as you can see some of the characters are stretched ("x", "4" and "1"). it's the same in the first text field which lists each color in ARGB format.
the font being used is Myriad Pro Condensed. i was originally using Myriad Pro Bold Condensed, which i was using for months, but suddenly yesterday the font became even crazier than what's visible here so i switched. now this font is being rendered incorrectly also.
i've validated the fonts.
i've deleted my ASO files.
i'm using cacheAsBitmapMatrix on the parent sprite object, but cacheAsBitmapMatrix is suppose to only affect mobile devices so i'm not sure why it would be rendering the font like this (if it's the problem) while running under ADL on my desktop.
newSwatch.cacheAsBitmapMatrix = new Matrix();
newSwatch.cacheAsBitmap = true;
this is how i'm calling the font, which is embedded in my library.
//Create Text Field
private function swatchTextField():TextField
{
var myFont:Font = new MyFont();
[code]....
UPDATE:this error was indeed not a problem with Flash but a bug Apple introduced in Mac OS X 10.6.7 that affected the display and printing of some open-type fonts. [URL]

How come when you make a button in flash, and you roll over it . the font seems to move some. It doesnt accually MOVE but it looks like a few pixels get bumped around. Its the wierdest thing.

I have seen this somewhere, people make a swf just for the fonts, import fonts they need into the library (and embed just the wanted characters) and they probably load this swf somewhere....

Does anybody know how to force Flash to embed all neededcharacters when creating font symbol? When embedded font is used in textfields instead of device fonts a lot of characters stop to be accessible. IsFlash limited to use only with a couple of languages? What about rest of them?

The idea is to increment the height of the TextField (with font embedded) and see the difference when it becomes too big. When container.height is over 279 you can notice two things:
1. container starts to increase its width property.
2. The "pixelated" glitch is gone now. (the original ugly pixelation comes from rendering multiple TextFields on top of each other - you can check the for loop). It looks like the issue of one font covering the other is solved differently now.
My question is: what changes when the font becomes too big? is there any property of the TextField (besides the size of course) that I can check to catch the moment? (gridFitType, antiAliasType, thickness, sharpness do not change)[code]...

I'm working on a project where I fill textboxes in Flash with content from a mysql db. This is working pretty fine, but somehow characters like "�" and "�", "�" etc.. aren't displayed.
I made sure the font is included (uppercase, lowercase, numerals AND punctuation) and I included the specified characters again with the "include these characters-box".
However, when I put a trace-command, they don't appear in the output-box: Itali� comes out as : "Itali�i"
It's got something to do with the mysql-collocation I'm guessing and/or the string handling by the php-script. This is what I do:

Anyone ever notice that Flash renders the same font totally differently depending on whether its a static or a dynamic textfield? It's really frustrating when you're trying to make everything look consistent, and it looks like you are using two different weights of the same font.

I am having trouble rendering text that has html tags. I has to do with the font embedding options.I am passing a string to a field text variable (same thing happens for fieldname.htmlText) and here is what happens:let's keep it simple and say I pick Arial as my text field font.
1) If I don't embed any font outlines for that text field, the text field displays the string correctly (with the html right formatting) since my system has Arial installed.

I have used the script below to load the mp3 file, but I couldn't do what I used to when I imported the mp3file to stage and I did it there. Is there a way to place fadeout at the end of the music and make the sound lower and lower, is there a way to apply something like that via Action Script?
mySound=new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("sommeu.mp3",true);

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.

In my application I'm using a custom embedded font for English (Helvetica New) which does not contain characters (glyphs) for chinese unicode range. In the application, wherver chinese characters are avaiable they are not displayed (suppressed) since they are missing in the custom embedded font. How can I make the flash player to use a fallback system font for the missing characters? And the fallback should be for the missing characters alone. For the Engligh characters it should use the embedded font.

is there a way to embed certain characters instead of embedded the entire font package which would increase my file size tremendously. I tried creating a textbox and type in the characters I need in hopes that would embed those characters but that didn't work.

For this project I'm working on currently I've had to create a Font Symbol and select 'Bold' in order for the 'Bolded Font' to display in my dynamic text box.I'm just wondering, is there a way to only select uppercase A - Z to be embeded with the Font Symbol, rather than the whole font?Note I had to create the font symbol as this is the only way to attach the 'bolded' version - Else I would be using the 'Embed Font' button and selecting which characters I wanted.

When 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.
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;

I've got a suite of unit tests for my project (pure AS3), and they all work brilliantly outputting standard JUnit XML to the trace output window. However, when I tried to get my test suite running on our continuous integration server I ran up against a wall.Flash is a sandboxed beast, isolated from the file system. I can't see an intuitive way to get this generated JUnit XML in to our CI software so it can be verified as passing.
I've taken a shot at implementing the approach shown in Continuous Integration with Flex,but it relies on reading trace output logged to flashlog.txt that is prone to failure on many fronts (debug player must be installed, flashlog.txt must be created, mm.cfg file must be configured properly). Also, I find that some of the time it fails to find the results in the flashlog and the build fails despite all the tests passing. This could be because I have too many tests and some are being pushed out of the log file.

so instead of the pixels being dissolved, the pixels being added? :
ActionScript Code:
var Anim:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(blackbox);
Anim.startTransition({type:PixelDissolve, direction:Transition.OUT, duration:1, easing:None.easeOut, xSections:35, ySections:35});
basically what i would like is the end point to be the start point and the start point the end point.

I have a swf file that loads into my main movie, and within that swf there is a masked image that i would like to scale using zoom in and out buttons and also by using a slider bar.However i cant find any tutorials that will allow me to combine the two.I have used the following code for the buttons. Which seems to work ok but i would like it to be a little smoother. (using speed or some sort of easing??)
ActionScript Code:
zoomPlus.onRelease = function(zoomIn) {
if (test_shirt.shirt._xscale == 400 && test_shirt.shirt._yscale == 400) {[code]....
but for this code it keeps shrinking my initial object down to 10 pixels by 10 pixels..

I have a movie clip called column1_mc. when I click a button I need to move the movie clip in incremental moves consisting of 30 pixels.
column1_mc._y = 30;
Does not work because that is giving a _y coordinate.For example.I need to make the movie clip jump to _y 300 but make 10x30 pixel incremental jumps. Moving 10 times 30 pixel jumps.
