I added a custom class for a custom font in the flash project library.Now when i try to embed the font and use it from actionscript , the text is not getting visible.[code]
View 3 RepliesI am creating dynamic TextFields in actionscript 3.0. Like many others, my text disappears when I set .embedFonts = true; ArialSlim is embedded and exported for actionscript. I have successfully tested with trace(Font.enumerateFonts()); Interestingly enough, when I comment out the embed line (as shown below), the font works properly. Alternatively, .setTextFormat(); also works properly without the .embedFonts line.

I bought a text scroller flash file and am now trying to tailor it to my needs.URL...It is composed of several movieclips which link to the an external text file. The external file starts off with this mytext= <font color="#000000" size="7">BACKGROUND</font> This file determines the size and color of the font but does not define the actual font itself, it also contains the content. There is a movieclip within the flash file where you can denote a device font or embed a font from the properties panel.Starting off I simply picked my font from the properties panel and used "anti-alias for animation". This seemed to work fine on the Flash preview and also once published online. However, once I used another computer to view my site the font changed and reverted to a default. This leads me to believe the font is linked to each computers font library. I am wondering if there is a way to override this and to link the font to a place on my server?I also tried to embed my font via the properties panel but it looks warped and unrecognizable, so thats out. Unless there is another way to embed fonts at stays true to the font? To add more fuel to the fire, the font I have to use is not html safe "Gotham" to be exact.URL,,,

View 3 RepliesI am building a web site on flash for my very first time and I have a problem. When I see my project in another computer I can`t see the fonts I used. Flash replace them with others.

View 1 Repliesdesperate for some assistance in getting two bits of script to combine... Can anyone help please? I want to be able to apply an embedded font to an externally loaded .txt file. I have named the dynamic text field 'myText', but the code that embeds the font wants me to enter the words. Both work individually, but they won't combine:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
// the data is loaded in the myLoadVars object as a property of the object
myText.htmlText = myLoadVars.topHTMLdata;

henever I try to embed fonts for dynamic text fields, no text appears in my text box. The text is loaded into the dynamic field from another variable, long story short it all works, except for if I try to embed fonts. One thing, the dynamic textbox is html enabled, and I have <b> tags within the code, so the text ends up being bold. This is how I want it. Do I have to 'embed' a bold variation of the font as well as the regular variation?

View 11 RepliesWhy's my dynamic text field blank when I embed the font chosen? The text field loads text from an external .txt file with html codes. There's no problem when I mark "No charaters" but when "All" or "Only" is marked the text field is blank? I've tried to remove the html codes from the external file, but it makes no difference!

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to embed the Chalet font to some dynamic text fields and it is causing the vertical position of the text to jump up above the actual textfield. (see screenshot) Is Chalet a messed up font? (or more likely, Flash is sooo screwed up in handling fonts) This font displays absolutely fine in Photoshop and Illustrator.
View 1 RepliesI have a swf A, which contains no font.If I download into it the swf F1, which contains few characters of Arial, then I'll have the arial font embed into A, no problem with that.But if, then, I download the swf F2, which contains other characters of Arial into swf A, will I be able to use all the embed characters font, only the F2, or only the F1 ?I'd like to have a link to somewhere where this is explained, even in very technical terms : I wasn't able to find one.
EDIT : After few tests, it seems that the player replace the loaded font... How can I merge them, then ?
Is it possible to embed a font in Flash and have it displayed as though it was a device font? In other words, can embedded fonts be aliased?Using the bitmap-text option doesn't work, Flash tends to screw up a lot of the character spacing. I haven't found any pixel fonts that mimic Arial, Verdana and Tahoma accurately. Setting the stage quality to low does alias the fonts but they become fragmented.Using device fonts is an option but, as far as I understand, some browsers/operating systems will take it upon themselves to anti-alias the text.

View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic text field. I have added a font object in the library, and selected that embedded font for my text field. I am using the font size I embedded. I also opened the Embed window & selected the characters I want.
When I do all of this, the text does not display in the text field. If I select DON'T embed from the embed window, then my text shows up, although, not in the right font.

View 6 RepliesI wanted to use a special font (frenchscript mt) for captions I made in the dynamic text field. (My captions change depending on the image chosen and it has links too). I've done all kinds of embedding, including the new font symbol embedding method but nothing works. I test if embedding was done by removing the font from my fonts folder. But when I do this, the captions become Arial I even tried to put a plain dynamic text field on stage using the special font, but the same thing happens when I remove the special font from the fonts folder. What can I do to make sure that even users without this font will be able to view the caption in the special font??
View 1 RepliesI have index.swf and contact.swf.
I'm using the MovieClipLoader to load contact.swf into index.swf. contact.swf is placed in a movie clip with specific dimensions.
In contact.swf I have:
Code:
var myFmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFmt.color = 0x444444;
myFmt.font = "CorbelBold";
var metrics:Object = myFmt.getTextExtent("I love flash");
trace(metrics.textFieldWidth);
If I start contact.swf directly (not loaded into index.swf) it traces what I want.
If I start index.swf --> contact.swf is loaded into index.swf, then it traces something else. I found out that I have to EMBED the fonts in contact.swf AND index.swf to make it work.
Why do I have to embed the fonts in both .swf's ?
I want to be sure that all users will see the same font. I have tried many different ways and all of them seem problematic. Non of them work the way it should be.

I've been trying to simply embed a single font in my .swf webpage-- not with actionscript, just as a library symbol, using cs4-- the directions I've seen are pretty straightforward, but for some reason it's not displaying correctly on computers other than my own. I wonder if I've got the URL correct: should it just be "myFile.swf"?
View 10 RepliesI am experimenting on embedding external fonts. I found this example on the webbut it does not work for me. Anyone tried it? I just changed "somefont" to a font that exists on my system like AGENCYB.TTF:

But it generates errors:
unable to resolve 'C:WINDOWSFontsagencyb.ttf' for transcoding

Attempting to embed two weights of the same font will cause CS5 to produce a differently named font for each weight.
I've created a sample FLA that clearly shows the problem[url]...
When exporting CS5 will not set the bold flag on the fields defaultTextFormat, forcing this on (also show in the attached FLA) produces the correct result.
I've got big site-like project with hundreds of differently formatted TextFields; and this bug pretty much forces me to export my SWF assets in CS4 (where the behavious is correct)
I don't understand why, when I check my website on BrowserLab,the embed Font (AndaleMono) chosen by me is not the correct one.It happens, since I work with mac and FireFox 3.6, in the window browser tests.Do you know why my font is not charged on the window side?-"Font1" is the class name of my Font in the library, "cb" is the instance name of a combobox on the stage.[code]
