I have a tileList component and i was wondering how one might go about antialiasing the font inside of each label. I have the font embedded using:
leftList.setRendererStyle("embedFonts", true);
I have tried targeting the label specifically with no luck so far.did not work.
var theTextField:TextField = leftList.label;
leftList.antiAliasType = "advanced";
I basically have the same question as bder on the actionscript forums, namely if I can have my text anti-aliased if it is using an embedded font (Myriad Pro) to assign it to the htmlText property of a TextField and styling that with CSS. Everything works fine with the text embedding and styling (the font is the one I want, and all its variations - bold, italic - are shown correctly), except that it looks bad, i.e. not anti-aliased. Of course, I have tried setting the antyAliasType and gridFitType properties to all possible combinations.
View 2 RepliesI am loading an external HTML file that is being styled with a css = new StyleSheet() in Flash. The only problem is that the text is not crisp, it is aliased. How can I get the text to be anti-aliased. Since I cannot use AntiAliasType.ADVANCED or shapness for more control, since I am using an external css styleSheet, I am stumped. What the heck can I do?
View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know a decent algorithm for drawing a anti-aliased (smooth) quadratic bezier curves in a raster?
I could simply draw them as vectors and then copy the image to a raster..
Is there any clever yet freely available algorithm to draw the curve directly to the pixels? I am currently using the algorithm implemented here:[URL].. I am doing this for learning purposes and because I am hoping it would be faster than using the copy pixels from a Shape option. Here is an example showing the none-smooth bezier is faster than the regular bezier:[URL]..
has anyone made a Custom Skin for a TileList component in Flash CS5. I want to change the scrollbar of the TileList, i want the track bar as just a thin white line and the thumb a orange circle, this for a Touch Interface.
View 1 RepliesBut now in Flash CS5 the new font embedding window is changed, and there is no Bitmap text checkbox, so how am I to create dynamic Text Fields with ActionScript, and embed the fonts in them using Bitmap text [no anti-alias]?
View 4 RepliesI am having a problem with the anti-alias that is applied to my text.I am using a sans-serif narrow font and this problem appears based on the color that I set to the text.From 000000 to c8c8c8, the font is displayed properly. From c9c9c9 to ffffff, the font is displayed with what I think is a lot of anti-alias, so much that it looks like it is bold.I have tested a different font and this is not happening with other fonts.
View 3 RepliesI have Flash AS3 Project with tile list. I have buttons on stage. each of them when clicked adds tile with a picture on it to the tileList using the addTile() function. I'm using 2 columns in the tile list and I want the new tiles will appear from right to left (1st item - right column, 2nd item - left column..). additionally, is it possible that each new item will be added to the top of the tileList instead of the bottom of it?
View 1 Repliesi am trying to use an embed font in a movie. while editing, everything looks great but when i publish to swf, the text displays pixelized and rough, as no the anti-aliasing is not applied. any tips on how to correct this? i imported the font properly to my working library and set the linkage to "export to actionscript". I also noticed that when i do not import the font to library, the font displays just fine..
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create a listing of thumbnails using the TileList component, and so far it's working great. Is there a way to change the appearance of a single ImageCell within the component.I'm bringing in the thumbnail data as XML, and I have an attribute for whether it's a "new" image or not. I would like it to display a small badge over the individual thumbnail in my application.
I should note that I made a subclass of the ImageCell class (implementing ICellRenderer) to set my custom skins, but when I tried adding conditional code here (checking for the "new" parameter I set, It simply doesn't work (no error messages).
I have embedded it using flex then loaded the swf in flash CS4 to make it available. But its very blurry and I can find a way to turn off anti-aliasing in as3.Its the right size and placed with whole numbers. The reason I have embedded this method is because I don't want to load an entire font library.
View 2 RepliesIs there a difference between text anti aliasing and font smoothing in flex? If so, what is the difference?Could you provide links or examples?

View 6 RepliesI'm working with the TileList component in an application, and loading in an MC from the library to display multiple times across some columns and rows.How do I make an event function for the MC in the TileList, so that when a user clicks it, it will trigger a custom function? I do not see that the TileList has something like this inherently for it's source item.I made an external class for the MC being used in the TileList, but my standard "addEventListener"s are not working.[code]}

View 3 RepliesSo we have a component we have written ourselves that deals with text display and translation between languages, reading translations from a file. Ideally what we would like to do is have this component be compatible with any font we can embed in the main .swf's library. What's the best way to do that?
Currently we are going down the route of having our component have an attribute for the font name, lets say 'Font1'. We drag the component into the .FLA file we want and then add a new font to the library called 'Font1' and set it to the typeface we want. This is proving to be inconsistent and problematic which implies it's not really an ideal way of doing it.
Is there anyway to achieve the feature we want? The key is flexibility, we want to easily support languages (hence the component) but we don't want design to be limited in their font selection. Its not practical to embed a range of fonts in the component for example, as it adds to file size and is restrictive.

View 3 RepliesI've made an mc with an attached txt field offstage from which to print from. The text that populates the off stage tf is all blocky and non vector looking...so are the printed sheets. I am using both html formatting and textformat formatting on the print text. It is a dynamic text field. It has this problem with both the printed result and when i peak off stage to look at the actual fields loaded with this text. I've already tried adding dummy fields offstage with the "embed" option activated.
View 7 RepliesWe have a TextArea that is created dynamically reading in XML data with the textFormat set to Arial font as the default. When we publish it the font tag for a subscript and superscript fonts is not displaying even though we have embedded the fonts. It displays
properly if the font is installed.
I have been using both a tutorial and a post I found on here regarding changing the fonts on the list component.
I put a list componenet on my stage and named it: myFlashList
I set up the font to embed and set up the linkage as described.
Here is my code thus far:
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import fl.managers.StyleManager
import fl.controls.List
var stencilReg:Font = new stencilReg();
