From what I can tell on the Google Fonts API, these fonts are meant to be accessible by JavaScript/CSS. Is there any way to dynamically load them for a Flash application without having to download them locally to the server?Update: So I've been piddling around with this some more, and the following are just some thoughts I had about how to go about it. None of them work, but I feel like they're on the right track. Just for future reference...When you choose a font to use in the Google API, you're provided with a link to a CSS stylesheet that's generated based on your preferences:[code]
I initially tried using just the href URL inside my <fx:Style source=.../>, but ActionScript rejected this (not sure if it was because it wasn't local, or it realized it didn't end in .css).After that failed, I copied the link into my browser and manually retrieved the CSS, pasting it inside <fx:Style> tags like you would with any other CSS. Again, ActionScript didn't like this because it couldn't locally locate the URL.I suspect some of these precautions are in place due to the whole 'security sandbox' bit that Flash enforces.
my web site has a lots of text field. it is xml based site.it is locally run perfectly but after i upload it to my server it's text fields' fonts replace to default fonts.some text gone down.so its confused to me.i used Myridpro font.now it is replace to default font .can u tell what is the solution for that..?

I save my (embedded) fonts in an external file (fonts.swf) that gets loaded at runtime. Pretty standard. I also use a bunch of UI artwork generated in the Flash IDE. Some of this artwork contains static textfields (thus, not proper TextFields that can change. Just frozen glyphs). Here's the problem: if I use the same font in any static textfield and then embed that same font into my collection of runtime fonts, the runtime font will refuse to render. It's the same effect you get if you set a textfield with embeddedFonts=true to use a font that isn't embedded. If I change the static textfields to use a different font, the runtime fonts work just fine.
Edited Short Version:The Adobe Flash docs list a property embedFonts on TextAreas:
A Boolean value that indicates whether the font specified in fontFamily is an embedded font. This style must be set to true if fontFamily refers to an embedded font. Otherwise, the embedded font is not used. If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed. The default value is false. Regarding the "If this style is set to true and fontFamily does not refer to an embedded font, no text is displayed" statement: How can I detect in ActionScript when this scenario happens?
TL;DR Original Version: I have a flash application which loads external .swf files containing embedded fonts, so that these fonts can be used within the main application. We're accomplishing this by using the following ActionScript code on anything which uses custom fonts:
I've recently had to format my computer and now having a problem with the flash actionscript window: the actionscript text looks like bold, or in a different font. The problem is that when I search for something like "flash" and "fonts", no matter which other words I use, always comes a lot of things about fonts for flash files, or for flash embedding fonts, but never for the program itself. Wich font is missing in my system that flash CS3 needs?
I wanted to put a search box in my flex app that would act just like google or google finance: you start typing and a drop down list just below starts filtering the results dynamically. Does anyone know how to do this in flex? I am using flex and php so as the user types it will pull results off the server dynamically.
Right I can upload the font to the server.But the only examples I can find - require registerFont(Verdana);Which means I'll need to create a new SWF with the new font embedded and reupload to the server. I need an automated way of doing this or perhaps something different altogether?
I'm trying to set up Google maps in my Flash 8 site (Win 7) I've downloaded the SDK but not sure which folder I should be placing the map_1_18 file.Have tried placing under the Components folder but still can't see it when I open Flash and check the Components libary.
I want to get input ZIPCODE from user and want to get distance from my Location > user enter zipcode (home town location ) > send data to google maps > return of distance from user's location to my location Is that possible?
I know its not possible to copy and paste the javascript code into Flash, because Flash won't do anything about it (or cause an error).But I do know the Google Adsense code generates an iFrame to show the ad. So I was thinking if I were to grab the iFrame source (the src attribute) and load that html page into Flash... maybe? So I guess my question would be is it possible to have Flash load an HTML page?I know there is MochiAds, but I would like to get a little bit more % of the $ :)

root.currentPage.text is the generated page number- but this does not seem to work- looks like within this getURL parameter i can not add any variables.. is there any other way to get the same result..
Does anyone know if it's at all possible to embedd a google maps image that's created using code generated by google? The Image is interactive, the main reason to embedd in flash as apposed to a flat image.
I am studying land surveying and cartography and I am doing my final project. I am trying to make a google earth like map in Flash.I already have the map , in the form of swf files.
I am trying to push in the Google Analytics library into my As3 widget. I plan to use the EventTracking feature in addition to the regular HTML-like pageview tracking that it provides. I plan to use the library in As3 mode (not the Bridge mode) since the widget is embedded on a lot of external domains.
Using the SWC to add the component to my project adds about 50k in file size. And my widget in itself is a very painstakingly achieved 120kb. I cannot afford the 50k overhead and every KB trimmed takes me closer to actually using GA with my player.
I got the code down from [URL].. and am trying to figure out any libraries that I can weed out to save file size, yet retain core functionality.
I really like the dashboard line chart which is used in google analytic, Which charting solution they use, is it made by google, I can't find it in google charts.
If I made a homepage with an embedded .swf which had buttons that linked to other html pages on my website using the getUrl() function, would those links be spiderable by google? Or should I also put in text links outside of the .swf (which would ruin the design a bit)?
I am using the google maps API with regular key (not premier).When connecting to my server with http, everything works fine, but when connecting with https i receive the following instead of map: initialization failed please check the API key swf location, version and network availability.Is that because it is not premier key? can I force the google maps API to use http instead of https so that I will receive the maps?
are there any Flash/Flex API for Google Earth like the Map API? i haven't seen an API in Google earth API official page. or is there any way to use all the features of its javascript API with actionscript/flex.
(using flash) I have a Sprite object that I want to show on google map. So I made a GroundOverlay object using my Sprite object, but it doesn't show up. I guess it's because Sprite is higher class than DisplayObject. (GroundOverlay seems getting DisplayObject only..?) Is there any way to us Sprite for my GroundOverlay?
I've got an AS2 flash movie that I need to add Google Analytics tracking into. The only classes I can find are for AS3, do you know of any class method to track in AS2?
I have a Google map and I want to refresh or reload map from my code. How is it possible? I go through this link [URL] but there is nothing for refresh/reload map there.
I would like to add Google Analytics to my flash file. The flash file is contained in a HTML file, which I already added the script provided by Google Analytics. At the moment, when a user visits my site, regardless which page is visited, only the homepage is counted.What as3 do I add to the flash file to keep track of each page that is being visited? I've tried a few codes provide on Google Analytics page and other tutorials, but none worked. The as3 for the menu buttons is displayed below.[code]
I design and build primarily full screen flash pages using AS2, and making my segway to AS3. I know that as of last year google can now crawl through SWF files, but I was wondering if anyone out there can offer some of the best ways to make a Fullpage Flash site work in conjunction with Google. I get this question a lot from my customers.
