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 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 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 1 RepliesFlash can use 2 types of fonts such that they can be changed at runtime by actionscript.
system fonts - NOT anti-aliased so renders fast embedded fonts - anti-aliased so renders slow
The problem with "system fonts" is that you can't rotate the text. Can I use embedded fonts AND turn off the anti-aliasing so it renders fast?
I'm working on a newspaper reading application using Flex, which displays scanned newspaper pages. I need to make a image zooming function, so the user can zoom in and out, as the minimum of 25% and the maximum of 400% in the size.This is what I have so far:In the mxml:
Code:
<mx:Image id="imgContent"/>
<s:HSlider id="hsZoom" minimum="25" maximum="400" value="100" stepSize="25"

I had been using Flash MX 2004 previously to create sprites for video games. In the "export" dialog, there was a check box labeled 'smooth,' which I could un-check in order to retain the hard edges that I needed in order to use the sprites in a game.Somewhat recently, I upgraded to Flash CS4. I have since noticed that, while the 'smooth' checkbox is still there in the "export" dialog, it doesn't do anything.I have tried many different options for exporting, including all different kinds of file types. Through this experimentation, I also noticed:1) that even though it is possible to choose a palette when exporting a .gif, the exported image does not use this palette, and2) that if one exports the image as an Adobe Illustrator file, the colors are wrong.
View 1 RepliesWhen rotating a bitmap with actionscript, the edges are jagged and not properly anti-aliased. How do you force anti-aliasing of the bitmap ?
this.stage.quality = StageQuality.BEST; // Tried this, but seems useless
var imgFromLib = new imgFromLib ();
imgFromLib.rotation = 30;
I was wondering if there was a way to get better anti-aliasing than the StageQuality BEST/HIGH, where the Vector graphics are anti-aliased using a 4 x 4 pixel grid. I was thinking going maybe a 8 x 8?
I would be using it only temporarily, to .draw vector graphics into bitmapdatas, so performance wouldn't really be issue. I can always tell that Im looking at a vector graphic in Flash by the slightly poorer aliasing than if you look at the same vector path in photoshop etc. Just being a perfectionist I suppose
I've been looking in to this problem for a while now and have pretty much come to a dead end, so thoughtOur games purely use pixel art and run at 640x480, but our latest title will run as a projector in full-screen mode. I've got everything working fine, but when running in full-screen everything gets anti-aliased which of course affects the pixelated look of the game. Here's the code I'm using:
stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 640, 480);
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
I'm wondering if it's possible to run the game full-screen without anti-aliasing? So far I've found a couple of partial solutions to this:
I was wondering if there's any way of having anti-aliasing properly happen on a dynamic textbox. They always revert to no-AA mode
View 1 RepliesI have some nasty issue. I need to display dynamically loaded HTML document with images but my designer wants the document to be presented in angular (slopy) manner rather than simply vertically placed on stage. HTML document is loaded inside a .htmlText property of a textField.
While the texts itself renders perfectly with embedded fonts and "AntiAlias for readability" I have a huge problem with images inside HTML. For whatever reason they look nasty aliased - complete disaster:
Is there any way to get better quality in this case?
I've been trying to achieve the same anti-aliasing (for readability) effect with as3 as if the textField was created manually, but I just keep running into a problem. When I try to add AA(txtfield.sharpness and thickness) to text I can't get any result apart from the text appearing in the same old for animation formation. The funny thing is this only happens when the font size is lower than 20px. I've uploaded an example aswell as a source file (manually created textfield on the left, textfield created with as3 on the right): [URL]. Is this somekind of font issue with Helvetica Neue, weird flash issue or is it me?
View 1 RepliesI'm doing a lot of lineTo() operations within a sprite but now I need to draw a line WITHOUT anti-aliasing applied. I assumed it would be easy enough to disable anti-aliasing either for a single draw operation, or in the very least for the entire sprite - but I'm really struggling to work out how to do that.
View 6 RepliesI'm using Flex 4. I'm trying to apply a embedded font in all Alert components of the application, to get the same style that all the app, of course. I code in my CSS file:
[Code]...
The font-family worked to all componentes, but not to the Alert component. In alert the text message and title got unvisible. If I change to other font-family it works correctly, just the embedded font doesn't work on Alert component. Anyone got this problem? Obs: The embedded font worked in all the app, just the Alert no.
I have an embedded font in my AIR/AS3 app that lacks support for most internationalcharacters. Using TextField and StyleSheet with the font-family property, I assumed I would simply need to do this:font-family: Interstate-Regular, _sans;This works if TextField.embedFonts = false; but then Interstate-Regular isn't embedded for users that don't have it on their system. With TextField.embedFonts = true; the text doesn't even show up. Is there a way to embed Interstate-Regular and still use _sans as a fallback system font without embedding it as well?

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've got a few fonts embedded and am using them in my mobile application, and they are all working, except for the ones i try to use for the "ActionBar". They work everywhere else, and substituting "Comic Sans MS" for "titleCGF" changes it to Comic Sans. So why won't it work with my custom fontFamily?

Scenario: Flex application utilizing an @font-face declaration for embedding the font. (Embedded fonts are required to be able to rotate text.)
The application was originally developed as an English application, but during localization it became necessary to locate a unicode font capable of displaying Asian characters. The original implementation of the application uses four fonts to satisfy the various permutations of character emphasis. Bold, Bold Italic, Italic and Normal are all supplied through the corresponding Arial fonts in the Arial family.
Problem: When trying to compile in the font as one that could be used for the bold, italic, and bold italic through something like (yes its not ideal, this was just a test to see if it could be done):

It isn't so much the how to solve this issue. There are plenty of viable solutions. However what I would really like to know is how does Flex apply bold and italics to a font that it says does not support bold or italics.
How can i use a bitmap text (no anti-alias at all), i can't find that option , the same option that exists in the classic text field.
View 1 RepliesI have embedded a font type in my application. Its working fine inside a text area. Now i need to add 60% transparency to it. In fact I need multiple transparency levels. Like -
60 % transparency for TextARea

How do I add alpha values to it?
But 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 7 RepliesI am trying to get the horizontal label of a ColumnChart rotated by 45°. I already know the font needs to be embedded for this to work, but now, my label are being truncated. Note that it worked in a basic chart proof-of-concept I made months ago, but now it is integrated in a panel with a verticalLayout, label are truncated.

Note that if I use the style for the vertical axis, I also get the number truncated to the first digit.
I 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 imported a font into the Flash library in an FLA file this way in the New font symbol dialog box:

I have generated an swf file that contains my embedded font of specified Unicode range, then I am loading this swf into my application. The code in the generated file for the font, automatically registers the font using the Font.registerFont method. I then load this swf file into my application, I never add it to the display list, I just created an instance of the file so that the code is executed to register the font.
Then I use the font name when I create embedded text fields and there you go it works... well it used to, I am not having any luck at the moment though. Sometimes it displays fine, other times it all appears cut off and I see a few pixels of the text I am trying to display.... Anyone else had a similar issue? Know what it might be? I have created a class below that I am using for the embedded font text, any issues people see with this?

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.
