Fonts Change In Published Movie
Hello there,
I'm using Flash MX 2004 and am having a problem where the fonts in my published .swf file appear to change for some (not all) people when they view it.
The affected text is not dynamic.
Do I somehow need to embed the fonts I am using within the movie to stop this?
Many thanks and best regards,

Fonts Change When Animation Plays
Hi, When I create an animation using a certain typeface, when I play the animation back, it's fine in HTML (although if I play the swf alone the kerning doesn't take effect). Anyway, the HTML/sfw is perfect on my machine. However, someone just sent me a screenshot and the fonts inside my animation have switched to Times (or something) on his machine.
A. is there a way to avoid this/flatten/outline the copy?
B. On another note, can I actually have type kern through a tween, and if so, how?
Thanks.

[CS3/AS2]Button To Change Fonts In A Dynamic Box.
I have a couple buttons that generate text but I want each of them to use a different font. I tried putting this code on the frame:
Code:
onEnterFrame = function () {
var Format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
Format.font = (_root.box.getValue());
YourTextBox.setTextFormat(Format);
};
And this on the buttons:
Code:
on (release)
{
var box = new Array(Arial);
//whatever
}
But it didn't work. The only problem I know I'm going to run into is that the fonts I want are ones I added like GoreFont or something. So how would I get those to work too?

Flattened Text? (fonts Change On Other Machines)
When I create something in, say "mini 7" a very fine font, i want it to stay like that no matter what machine it loads on.
But no matter what I convert it to - movie, button ,or graphic - it defaults to helvetica or some other built in font.
What's the way around this? I'm using Flash MX 2004 Professioanal.

Embedding Fonts Via Actionscript
The most common method to embed a font is the "Embed..." button and I know that a common method to embed a font is
Code:
var myFont:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFont.font = "A Nice Font";
myTextField.setTextFormat(myFont);
But my question is does the above code retain the font in the movie so that, should I upload it to a site, the font will go with it for display?
Also, is there actionscript that will embed a font in an entire movie so I don't have to click each text area and embed one at a time?
Actionscript Format Fonts
I have an input text field and a button that changes the font, here is the code the changes the font...
CODEtypeface1.onRelease = function(){
format = new TextFormat();
format.font = "Times New Roman";
format.italic = true;
format.size = 18;
test.setTextFormat(format);
}
Using Shared Fonts With ActionScript
I haven't really dabbled with shared assets before, but basically what I want to achieve is this:
I have a main interface movie, into which I load a variety of different swfs. Some of those swfs have text fields, into which I will load XML data. Now, back in my main interface, I have a neat little function which formats the xml data into html, complete with font changes. The problem is that I would have to embed all necessary fonts into each swf.
How can I make the fonts embedded in the main movie available to loaded swfs?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Embeding Fonts With Actionscript?
hey i was wondering how you would embed fonts with actionscript
i did lee's html css flash tutorial (i dont think its online at the moment i have a downloaded copy) and it works great, the problem is that if the user doent have the font i used then it would look totally different
I know i am right about this because i uninstalled the font i was using after publishing the swf and opened the swf (some totally different font is used instead)
Here is my css file
Code:
.titleText {
font-family:"Nimbus Script"
font-size:36px;
color:#E36A2E;
}
Here is the actionscript i am using
Code:
function createPage(num) {
var t = clip.createTextField("title", 100, 20, 20, 1000, 700);
t.html = true;
t.selectable = false;
t.embedFonts = true;
t.styleSheet = styles;
t.antiAliasType = "advanced";
t.text = "<span class='titleText'>" + p.title + "</span>";
}
I tried using t.embedFonts = true; but that does not work and shows nothing (i think this just tells it to use embed fonts but does not actually embed them)
Anyway help would be appriciated
Embed Fonts In Actionscript Textbox
Got an issue - if I create a textbox with createTextField, and then want to give it a custom font, it doesn't display. I use embedFonts and a font symbol as macromedia suggests, but the text still does not display.
As soon as I turn embedFonts off, it displays, but, naturally, with a device font. If embedFont is true, I still can select the text in the textbox (right click-select all), copy it, and it's the correct text! Anyone have an idea on how to make my text appear?

HELP Dynamic Text, Actionscript, XML, And Pixel Fonts...
I'm having a hell of a time with this... I downloaded a tut for a dynamic XML controlled menu from http://www.studioah.com. Here's the deal:
I've taken the whole tutorial apart, and deleted the things that I didn't need (I was only interested in the menu, not the MP3 player or even the scrollers). So I did away with everything else, and customized (in the XML) the sections in my menu. Everything was fine until then. However, I needed to change the font, to one of those "flash" fonts (I don't know if you're familiar with them, but I'm sure you've seen them. They're the kind Craig Kroeger from http://www.miniml.com designs. There's other people that make them now as well). As you're probably aware, those fonts, need to be placed in integer pixel coordinates in order to look the right way (i.e. they need to be on x=2.0 y=5.0, not x=2.1 y=5.7). I've used the fonts before and I've had no problem with them, however, on this menu, I'm having no luck at all. They work fine on the .swf as long as you don't embed them. But when you embed the font, then the .swf comes out blurry. The thing is, that when the menu expands or collapses, the fonts end up reeeeaaally blurry.
I believe that somewhere in the actionscript, (or the xml) there's a line (or lines) of code that tells the menu how far to drop down the next line of text, or where the text should be. I had a similar problem with scrollers before, and found out that the scrollers have to stop at an integer pixel number, otherwise the text looks blurry. I imagine the same thing applies here, soooo my question is, WHERE do I instruct the menu how to move and where to stop. I've fiddled with a couple of things, just replacing numbers blindly, but since I was guessing I didn't obtain the results I wanted. I've modified the speed, so that the menu expands and retracts much slower or faster. I changed a number somewhere that made the menu bounce off the screen (that was pretty funny actually, but not what I wanted); but I can't make the darn thing stay crisp. I had heard that using an 'int' function in the actionscript to round up the numbers may work (I had heard this when working on a scroller, but I solved it some other way) but I wouldn't even know what numbers need to be round up... I've used similar functions ("round" functions) in preloaders so that the preloader doesn't say "now loading 234.849282766542 KB". Are "int" functions different from "round"? Are they just the MX equivalent? (first time using MX).
Please, there's got to be someone in this whole flash community that knows the answer to this.

[Flex 2] Embedding Fonts In Actionscript Projects
Well the topic pretty much explains what I am after. I need to know how to Embed fonts in to my swf without using the Flash IDE.
The Flex 2 Help shows how to do it for Flex 2 applications and how to do it through the Flash IDE, but not how to embed fonts in Actionscript Projects.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Runtime Embedding Of Regular And Bold OpenType Fonts With Actionscript
Hi all,
I have been tussling with this all morning. Any suggestions?
Writing all actionscript in Flex 3 editor.
I am embedding fonts in an SWF then downloading the swf and registering fonts at runtime.
Its working fine with different typefaces, but I cannot get access to a regular and bold version of the same font.
Below I am embedding the fonts. I have also tried to use "FontFamily" instead of "FontName" option, with no luck.
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class EDC_fonts extends Sprite
{
// embed two fonts into an SWF
[Embed(source="/fonts/MeliorLTStd.otf", fontName='emMelior', mimeType='application/x-font')]
public static var MeliorFont:Class;
[Embed(source="/fonts/DINOT-Regular.otf", fontStyle = 'regular', fontName='emDIN', mimeType='application/x-font')]
public static var DinFont:Class;
[Embed(source="/fonts/DINOT-Bold.otf", fontStyle = 'bold', fontName='emDINbold', mimeType='application/x-font')]
public static var DinBoldFont:Class;
}
}
once the SWF has downloaded, I pull the fonts in like this (this is part of a loader):
ActionScript Code:
var EDC_fonts:Class = event.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("EDC_fonts") as Class;
Font.registerFont(EDC_fonts.MeliorFont);
Font.registerFont(EDC_fonts.DinBoldFont);
Font.registerFont(EDC_fonts.DinFont);
I have been unable to get access to both normal and bold weights of DIN. Whichever weight is registered last becomes the "regular" weight of the type, make sense?
I can't seem to find much documentation on this, so any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Trouble With Embedding Fonts In A Text Field Created In Actionscript
Hi guys
I've attained soo much help from the Kirupa forums that I thought I get involved.
I’ve been trying to do what should be a simple task and have got to the point where I'm cursing and pulling out my hair.
What I’m doing is creating a dynamic text field, applying a TextFormat to the text field to style it and then add text.
It works except when I flick the embedded font Boolean to true all font disappears. If it's false it runs at the default font.
I have search long and hard on the net and have tried many different version of the code with no success.
Below is a script I wrote just to test embedding as I was hacking up my original code too much and had to separate it.
Code:
var text_field = new TextField();
text_field.text = "the quick brown fox jumped over something that had the letter z in it.";
text_field.width = 250;
text_field.x = 40;
text_field.y = 40;
text_field.selectable = false;
text_field.border = false;
text_field.textColor = 0xCCCCCC;
text_field.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT
//text_field.embedFonts=true;
var text_format = this.text_field.getTextFormat( );
text_format.font = 'ariel font';
text_format.size = 30;
text_field.defaultTextFormat = text_format;
addChild(text_field);
I have embedded the arial font within the library and set it linkages.
I am my wits end. Can someone please help

Change A Textfield Via Actionscript
I have a text field all formatted nicely and set to exactly the size that I wish it to be with just the right amount of alpha, etc., etc...
Now, I would like to be able to change the text depending upon which page the swf is being displayed on. I wish to pass the label text in on the query line and then set the text to the new value...
First, how do I make the text stretch smaller or larger so that it is exactly the same size as the original?
eg; If I do this myText_txt.text="Something Else" and replace an old text string of "First Thing", since "Something Else" is a larger text string, the resultant text field is now wider than originally. I want to resize it back to the first size but not just the field itself. I want to stretch the text so it fits into the original area.
Also, it seems that all of the formatting on the text field is thrown out when the text is changed. How do I put it back to how it was?
Thanks,
Gary

Hello!
This is for my 1st ever flash site, so apologies for the perhaps silly question.
I've found this actionscript on the web to preload the full movie, however i want to change it to only preload upto certain frames i.e frame 28. Can this be done?
Here is the actionscript i'm using:
loadedFrames = getProperty("/", _framesloaded);
totalFrames = getProperty("/", _totalframes);
if (Number(loadedFrames)<Number(27)) {
percentageOutput = int((loadedFrames/totalFrames)*100);
setProperty ("loaderBar", _xscale, percentageOutput);
gotoAndPlay ("preload-loop");
} else {
gotoAndPlay ("begin-movie");
}

Actionscript To Change Tint
on my stage i've got a menu mc that is soo simple...just 4 text buttons that when clicked, load another mc.
What i'd like to do, is when each button is pushed and the content mc is loaded, have the button change tint and stay that way until the user clicks to go to another mc, this way the user knows what section he's on. I know how to do it the long way with keyframes and gotoAndStop commands, but i was hoping there was an actionscript method to save me some time.
any ideas?
thanks

Actionscript For Color Change
I have a list of menu items on a page that play when you click on them. I wanted them to change color when you roll over them, so I have this script:
menu1.onRollOver = function() {
trans = new Transform(this);
trans.colorTransform = yellow_tint;
};
menu1.onRollOut = function() {
trans.colorTransform = reset_color;
};
for each one. So this is great, except when the movie plays, if you are hovering over the button, the whole movie plays in that tint. Is there a way to disable the transform color while the movie is playing?
Thanks so much!!
