Flash :: About Embedding Fonts

TIP - Embedding Fonts
Here's a tip many might appreciate . . .

If you're sick of resorting to unnecessarily large .swf's because you want to embed a font, or maybe export without embedding a font, presenting the perfectionist's nightmare - Bad Formatting & Size Distortions due to someone's system having no close alternative to the intended font, then here's a tip:

Import your font(s) into 'a' .swf (making sure it's 'imported' into it's library, by setting the fon't property to 'export' - which embeds the font into the .swf when it's exported). Now name the .swf as Library.swf or something.

Now, when you create your main .swf movie, and/or (to be) loaded .swf pages etc, don't select 'embed' font on any of the texts which are to grace your fabulous font. Instead, go to 'file' and 'load imported library', and search for you Library.fla. Once selected, you'll then see that library window open - Drag the font from that library window (titled 'Library' or whatever you called it), onto your main movies library. It'll have the description 'imported' under the properties of the library window.

Select the text(s) on the stage of your main movie, then select the font from the text property window (which will have an asterix character after it's name) and hey presto!

All .swf's that load the font from that single Library.swf, will now be saved from 20KB+, which is good news if you use loadMovie alot.

Appologies for the somewhat 'uncoherent' walkthrough, but this college PC is making typing rather difficult.

Hope this helps some (if not many) of you fellow Flashers,

De-embedding Fonts
Hi all. I'm having a problem removing some embedded fonts that I used in a previous version of my movie. despite the fact that they are no longer used in any of my symbols, they still appear embedded in the size report. Does anyone know of a way of getting around this, ie having a third party swf tools type thing that lets you inspect the code and muck about with it?

Embedding Fonts In MX
Hello there,

I had originally created me site in Flash 5 and everything was running fine. I recentley upgraded to MX and some things seem to have gotten messed up in the process and I hope some one out there can help me..

.Problem one: When opening me FLA file, it says that the fonts that I have used are not available on my system and do I want to replace it with default...I navigate to the font that I am using and tell it to use that font...and to this point things seem to be fine.

But when I export the movie, it says that the outline to the font that I am useing is not available and in the swf file the fonts that are not embedded will disapear....why didn't this happen in flash 5...

Also I HAVE all the fonts that I am using in my system folder and they are activated....and my last question is please tell me HOW TO EMBEDD FONTS IN FLASH MX so that this problem wouldn't happen again.

here is the address to my old site, where I was trying to fix the scroll bar on the photopage when all hell broke loose

THANKYOU SOOO MUCH,

Embedding Fonts
I've read here and in books that if you use static text that this automatically embeds the fonts into a Flash movie.

Maybe I don't understand this clearly. I'm working on a site right now that I've used static text with some uncommon (non-windows) fonts. I sent my client my font library, she picked her fonts--the non-windows fonts. When I threw up the site live, she insisted that the fonts she chose weren't up there. Sure enough, when I looked at the site on another computer, windows default fonts replaced the ones she chose.

Why? Again, the fonts were static fonts.

(One thing I noticed later was that for the title, I did check the "use system fonts" as an experiment and forgot to uncheck it later. However, the other font texts were definitely never checked in the same way and were still replaced.)

I really don't want to break apart the fonts because it's a hassle later when editing text. I'm thinking of importing the fonts if there's no other solution, but I'm trying to stay light weight with this.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a site im making with dynamic text boxes, everyone of which uses a pixel font which of course has to be embedded. Is there a better (less filesize) way of embedding fonts than just clicking embed all characters etc. Like is there a way to embedd it for the whole .swf and ones loaded into it in one go.

I have several movies that need font embedding, all for the same font. However, all of the movies will be accessed via being loaded into another SWF.

If I embed the font outline in the primary SWF, will all other SWFs loaded into that have the font embedded? If not, is there any way to achieve such an effect?

Thanks!

Heya guys,
I was wondering if there are any tricks when it comes to embedding fonts.
I'm using pixel fonts and haffa embed them to get them all crispy. but my question is are there any tips when it comes to embedding fonts? how to get the file sizes down to a minimal etc.
the main problem im having is that im using a pixel font in the loader to read "loading" and then "complete", when i embed the fonts its like 7kb, but when i dont its about 1kb. and then when i view the movie by the time the loader has loaded the movie is already 25%. it takes time for the preloader to load basically.
once ive embedded the font for one textbox, do i have to embed for the other? are there any guidelines i should follow?
if you have any tips or tricks, or techniques that work for you, id love to hear them.
thanx
Ross

I`m from Croatia and here we have letters that are not common to English!
šðèæž are not displayed correctly when read from an external .txt file into dynamic text field!
I tried embedding fonts and I defined range from a-z, A-Z etc. and included the upper letters also, but now they don`t display at all!
When I included some other characters additionally they worked fine but šðèæž simply don`t show at all!

By the way I`m using MX 2004 v7.2

Can I embed all the fonts I need in _level0, making them available to any mc loaded into subsequent levels?

I tried creating dynamic TextFields for all the fonts I need in _level0's main timeline, I also embed the fonts in each one. I assumed that these fonts would be available for dynamic TextFields that use these fonts in subsequent levels. This does not seem to be the case.

Can I do what I am trying to accomplish?

I am using Futura Maxi Bold and Futura Maxi Book, and want to embed only numerals and punctuation. However, when I fill in the characters to embed in the properties window and test the scene, the desired embedded text is no longer even shown on the screen. WHen I turn off the embedding option everything returns to normal.

Am I doing something wrong or are some fonts just un-embeddable?

I have several dynamic text boxes throughout my flash document that use a total of 3 separate fonts. Do I need to embed those fonts in each and every dynamic text box, or can I just embed each font once (so 3 times total), and that will suffice.

Also, one of the dynamic text boxes has some masking on it. I'm not sure if that has any bearing on the answer.

Embedding Fonts With CS3
Hi, I'm having problems embedding entire fontsets with CS3. I wish to do this compile-time without using another swf file as a library. I tried the following code, but it does not embed the font:

PHP Code:

// this is the file that contains the Document class etc.
package {
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.text.*;
    import flash.utils.*;

    [Embed(source="C:WINDOWSFontspcsenior.ttf", fontName="PC Senior")];
    public class Platform extends MovieClip {
        public function Platform() {

            var format:TextFormat=new TextFormat  ;
            format.font="PC Senior";
            format.color=0xFFFFFF;
            format.size=12;

            var label:TextField=new TextField  ;
            label.embedFonts=true; //When I comment this line, the text is displayed correctly.
            label.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
            label.defaultTextFormat=format;

I've managed to embed fonts on a textfield I create in actionscript, but when I make a textfield on the stage and then try to use an embedded font on it, it won't work(I gave the textfield an instance name and set embedFonts to true, and gave it a new TextFormat as well). Do I have to create textfields with embedded fonts in actionscript, or is there some way to do it the other way as well? :P

I'm creating a page that a user can log into. I am using actionscript to fade a movieclip out. I noticed, however, that the input textfields in this movieclip do not tween. So of course I went and embedded the font I'm using, thinking this would work. But it didn't. It isn't that it still doesn't tween, but rather that the user cannot enter anything into the textboxes at all. Just to make sure I hadn't changed another property without knowing it, I unembedded the first input textbox, and now it works fine, but of course it still doesn't tween. What's going on here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm having a problem getting this to work, maybe I've missed something fundermental. Anyway, I first added a font to the library and did the linkage with the export to action script and gave it an identifier Font_MSS.

then in the following code I added the line to the // format the font for the scroller text with this

Code:
// format the font for the scroller text
scrollerTxtFormat = new TextFormat();
scrollerTxtFormat.embedFonts = true;
scroller.setTextFormat(scrollerTxtFormat);

although the text does show up it has no effect on the font itself.

any ideas?

Embedding Fonts For CS4?
I guess I haven't been paying much attention to new features in CS4, but I just opened a file that I created with CS3 that had fonts embedded and now they're not displaying. I've done the embedding the same old school way of just sticking empty text fields on the stage for years so I guess I need to learn the new formal way, but I haven't had any luck.

I'm using a font that has separate bold and italic faces and I need to embed them all, which seems to be whats tripping me up. I need all three faces to show in one text field. It looks like the font panel in CS4 is a little different (Family/Style)?

Can someone please outline the steps I need to do to get all the different styles of a family embedded correctly so that I can use them in a single textfield that I've added to the stage in the IDE?

Thanks!

If you login and then click on Jamie news it will load the news. U wont see the problem till you add a new Story.
When you do add a new Story make sure you have some text set bold and italic(hit submit).
You will need to hit the jamie news button a few times to load up the new data from the db(ruff flash).
Anyways once you see your post is loaded if you had some text bold or itlaic you will see that it does not show(the bold/italic text is not there) but yet if you hit edit post it shows up. I know that this has something to do wiht embedding fonts. On the jamie news view the fonts are embedded, in edit news and post new they are not, if i try to do the same with news view, the scroller mask doe not mask the un-outlined text but does show the bold and italic text

Hello all.

I have created an XML file and used the CDATA tag inside one of the nodes so I could display a URL and some HTML. I then run the code in my flash file and everything works great.

I then decide that I need to have the fonts anti-aliased. In order to do this, I have to embed the fonts for the dynamic text boxes. So I do that and then publish and open the file. Sweet, anti-aliased dynamic xml copy...oops but one problem...WHERE'S THE LINK?!?!?

When I embedded the fonts, the link disappeared. If I don't embed fonts, it shows just fine. Any reason for this? Are there any workarounds? Thank you very much in advance.

Help With Embedding Fonts
I am using Flash MX.

I read on here about how to embed a font (Library > New Font...) but I'm finding that the font I've (supposedly) embedded isn't appearing correctly on any other computer that does not have that font installed. To be precise it's a pixel font I found on the web (From Fonts For Flash.com) that apparently can be embedded without any problems. All the text fields in my movie are dynamic.

Can anyone suggest how to resolve this? Am I doing something wrong? The font does need to be a pixel font because of how small the letters need to be.

Thanks in advance.

Embedding Fonts
I'm working on a Flash project, in which I embed several characters from the fonts "Arial" and "Monotype Corsiva". Arial is also embedded in Bold. I do this by clicking the "Embed..." button in the IDE and typing out the characters I wish to embed. I use static, dynamic, input text fields with from 8pts to 14pts, in case it matters. This works fine, and I can access the embedded fonts throughout the movie.

Here's the problem: When I generate a size report, I see

...
Arial Bold 10806 !"#$%&'()*+,-./01234567...qrstuvwxyz{|}~Âµâ€“â€”â‚¬
Monotype Corsiva 12938 !"#$%&'()*+,-./01234567...qrstuvwxyz{|}~Âµâ€“â€”â‚¬
Arial 12311 !"#$%&'()*+,-./01234567...qrstuvwxyz{|}~Âµâ€“â€”â‚¬
Arial 9 pts 9610 !"#$%&'()*+,-./01234567...qrstuvwxyz{|}~Âµâ€“â€”â‚¬
...

I understand why "Arial Bold" is there. However, I do not see why "Arial 9 pts" in there.

The reason why it puzzles me is that I use many different font sizes for the Monotype Corsiva font, and it only shows up once. Furthermore, there's a dynamic textfield which uses Arial at 10 pts (and most dynamic fields are 8 pts), yet that doesn't get embedded. What makes Flash embed the Arial font again for the 9 pts size, and how can I prevent it from doing that?

Stuff I tried:
- I used a JSFL file which changes the font size of every field to 8 pts. This results in Arial and "Arial 8pts" getting embedded.
- I used a JSFL file and changed the font size of every field to a different, random size. This results in all those different sizes getting embedded.
- I added a text field which uses Arial at 10 pts, and nothing additional gets embedded.
- I added a text field which uses Monotype Corsiva at 10pts, and one at 16pts, and nothing additional gets embedded.

Thank you for your time and help

Embedding Fonts In AS3
Maybe someone here can help me understand this a bit better.....

These questions are based on the AS3 Cookbook recipe 9.17 (Embedding Fonts)...

According to the cookbook, embedding fonts in AS3 requires using the [Embed] metatag "inside an AS file outside the class declaration". I can't figure out (based on the cookbook), what I'm doing wrong... I've attached my entire class so go ahead and see what I'm doing wrong...or not understanding here...

It's the entire class at this point.... still migrating my stuff from AS2 to AS3....

Hi

I have a form with several input textfields. In some textfields it is allowed that user can input strange chars like Ã§Ã©Ã etc...
Now when I select those textfields and choose to embed those including some standard Latin, Num, etc.. chars
It seems that suddenly all other textfields have the possibility to input those strange chars, while I don't want that.

Can't I seperate different embed settings for different Textfields?

Embedding Fonts In AS 3.0 NOT The IDE?
Hi --

I would like to include fonts in a SWF that I am building using Flash CS3
and AS 3. I have found lots of examples online that look like this:

[Embed(source="C:WINDOWSFontsARIAL.TTF", fontFamily="Arial")]
private var _arial_str:String;

However, the definition of the variable defined below the EMBED tag varies,
sometimes its "Class", sometimes its "Font".

In any event, the font is used this way:

mytext.font = "Arial"

The problem is that this does not work for me. I have tried the various
types mentioned above for the asset but none makes any difference.

If I embed the font in the library of my project I can access the font this
way:

mytext.font = new AvantGarde().fontName;

But when I try this code with the Embed tag I get different errors at
compile time depending on how I've define the variable.

Can someone please help? It appears that the code samples I found are for
Flex and not Flash?

I really want to be able to make this work without embedding the fonts in
the library.

Thanks,

Rich
