why I'm getting this "flashing" screen when ever I try to load a font. I use to load fonts all the time. Now when I try to load fonts, as soon as I click on the download I get this flashing screen and have to shut my computer down to get rid of it.

Its literally just to highoight some text on screen I need to make sure everyone reads.
View 3 RepliesThe graphic designer has ordained that Helvetica be used for a Flash project.
However, using embedded Helvetica in dynamic text fields yields less than desirable results.
Basically, some edges of the text appear blurry (despite setting the antialias to Advanced).
Just wanted to know whether the Helvetica font was meant to be a screen font or strictly a print font.
We are building a flash based product (coded in flash builder) and need to ensure that the font size is readable for all standard screen resolutions- we coded fontsize to be a fraction of screen dimensions... still we find that it looks smaller on low resolution and larger on higher resolution
we dont have this problem with other assets like containers/images etc
why this happens? Any thoughts on how we can make it uniform across screen resolutions?
How do you prevent all of your text automatically changing the font size when a browser is made full screen? I have a number of fixed field sizes I want my text to stay within but when the browser is expanded to full screen it changes the fonts so the text no longer fits in the text boxes and it forces scrolling.
View 2 RepliesI'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.
View 2 Repliesi have a 2 swf, one is main.swf, and another one is load.swf, the load.swf height and width will be change dynamically but i have to load the load.swf into main.swf, with best fit the screen. how?
my main.swf is 1000x780 and my load.swf more than or less than 1000x780 how can i fit this? i use to load the load.swf is content_mc.loadmovie("url");
I have a mxml component with a "s:Label" and
fontFamily="notes"
as an attribute.
Source code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:SkinnableContainer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com
[Code].....
So I thought, that would be okay and the text of my s:Label will be formatted with this special font. But the output is the normal font. By changing the "s:Label" to a "mx:Label", the font is "loaded". So, what can I do that the font will work with s:Label?
is it possible to have a .ttf font file in a subfolder of the swf one and load it as a usable font once the swf movie is opened?
I don't need to change it in runtime... just need to catch the ttf, make a usable font from it and assign it to a TextField.
Code:
private function onInit(event:Event):void
{
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
loader.load(new URLRequest("E:/projects/static/gonggao/fonts.swf"),

View 4 RepliesExample: a vendor returned a Chinese version of an SWF demo with a file size of 14,692kb. Some clients report load times up to 4 or 5 minutes and some time out.
The vendor claims they have embedded only the characters needed for the copy in the demo, however when we ran the SWF files through a decompiler we found embedded Chinese character sets with up to 21,000 glyphs (the entire Chinese alphabet, + characters in other alphabets like Arabic).
My question, would a 14.5 MB SWF file, with 2 sets of embedded Chinese fonts, each with glyph counts of 21,000+ (for a total glyph count of over 43,000), take several minutes to load from the web?
However, the client also wants to be able to use custom fonts that they would find and download themselves, and then place the custom fonts TTF file in the folder that I will specify for custom fontsIn the xml, there will be a tag for the font to use in the specific section.Question:Is there a way in action script 3 that I can load the custom font from the TTF or other related font file and then set a text field on screen to then use the custom font, even if the font is not installed on my computer at development time1. read xml2. read text content3. Set textfield.text = text content from xml4. Read colors from xml5. Set text field colors.6. Read font to use from xml7. load font from ttf file if not installed on user system.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make Flash automatically focus on an input textfield (not the TextInput component object, but a textfield object with type set to input) when the user enters the page. I want it so they can type straight away without actually having to click inside the textfield. Previously in AS 2.0 you could use Selection.setFocus("textfield_txt"); but in AS3 is it possible?

View 1 RepliesIn as2, I have a button that attaches a movieclip with inside some input text fields (a mail form). Now, as the tweening ends for the movieclip to actually appear (I set the _alpha to 0 as he's been created and change the value to 100 with a tween), I call a function for setting the focus on the first input text field:
Code:
function setTheFocus(){
Selection.setFocus(_root.mailtext.namex);
trace(Selection.getFocus())
}
Where 'namex' is the istance name of the input text field. The getFocus trace returns positive, so the focus is there but ... there is no flashing bar within the field. If I write something, the text appears in the right text field and the flashing bar appears. I can't get why there is no flashing bar without typing anything, even if the focus is set.
I want the user to know the text input box is inputable, how can I add the text cursor to the box?
View 7 RepliesSimilar to PHP and GD Library I want the SWF to load the query string and display it in a custom font.for example

I'm in the process of switching from AS 2.0 to AS 3.0, so apologies if this is really obvious.. I am modifying/updating an old template for a client and am inserting customized navigation buttons. One is a play/pause button and I was able to swap the old buttons for the new in the library and show them on the stage with no problems. When I export to swf to preview the movie, the new button just flashes repeatedly between the different "play" and "pause" states (up, over, etc).
I checked to make sure I didn't change any names of the buttons or movie clips. I tried inserting stop(); but it doesn't work...probably because I'm not putting it in the right spot. When I select the button, it has "up, over, down, hit" in the Timeline and says the selection can't have any actions applied to it.
I've built a drag and drop project with 9 elements in Flash CS5 using AS 3.0. Using code from an AS3.0 4 element drg&drp tutorial (which worked) I copy/pasted the code into the new project, renamed graphics in AS where necessary and added the additional code required to accomodate the additional graphics.When playing the test I get no errors however the first logo (element) and it's invisable target just flash on and off 11 times, then I see a frame of the whole project (for 1 frame) and then the cycle repeats.
I've double checked all naming conventions and everything is correct between movie clips and code. I've even simplified the code to just 1 element to see if I could track down where the problem starts and I get the same thing. The strange thing (to me anyway) is if I change the name of element to be dragged/dropped (in the code) to a different element on the stage I still get same original graphic flashing. So I don't think it's the code at all I think there is some weirdness in the graphic setup.
Recently, I uploaded the flashmo_212_mp3 player to my site in hopes to have a player. When I put the player into my timeline, for the specific keyframe I run into problems.

View 1 RepliesI got this pretty much working, but there is a bug, when the bird is going right the trace statement says right but I get the movieclip flashing between flipping right and flipping left. So I assume its a problem with that bit of the code. Also this function is running constantly so I don't know if that might be an issue:
Code:
public function objDirection() {
trace('old' + oldX);
trace('charx' + char.x);
if (char.x>oldX) {
trace("Bird right");

I have the buttons at the bottom of my site load each "section" of the site from external swf files in the same directory as the main movie. When you switch back and forth between the sections there is a flash (like its loading the swf file every time you press a button maybe?). I have each section loading into the same container. I tried multiple containers but I couldn't figure out how to stop one from loading over the other, then you couldn't see the previous swf anymore (once a new one loaded it was on top of the others). Basically something to do with loadMovie and containers I guess. Here is the work in progress. The buttons load the external movies on release into a container.
>>> Flashing External SWFs <<<
What I want is a nice transition that you don't notice. With that flash you can basically tell its loading a new clip in. I want it to be seemless to the viewer.
