Embed Fonts When Fonts Are Called In XML
Does anyone know how to embed a font in AS3 when there is no dynamic textField in the actionscript because the font is called from an xml file? It's part of a menu. I embedded the font in the component as well as added it to my library and exported it for actionscript. I think it's all good there.

The xml file uses:

<textFormat>
<font>Univers Condensed</font>
<size>15</size>
<bold>true</bold>
<color>0xFFFFFF</color>
<align>right</align>
<leading>0</leading>
<rightMargin>20</rightMargin>
</textFormat>

The Univers Condensed font isn't showing on the menu on a computer that doesn't have Univers installed. The menu component I'm using is Jumpeye's accordion tree menu. I was able to do it on the AS2 version, but not the AS3 version. Any tutorial I can find for embedding fonts in AS3 says to use the dynamic textFiled in the actionscript, but in this case I don't have that. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

How Do I Embed Fonts?
Hi there,

I'm wondering how to embed a font on Flash MX on the PC. I'm using one of Minimls fonts and need to embed it so as I can use it with dynamic text.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Can someone please remind me on how to embed fonts. I have some dynamic text fields that are under a mask and they don't show up unless the fonts are embeded, or at least I think so. Thanks.

How Do I Un-embed Fonts?
At one point in my file I embedded the fonts. Things have changed and I no longer need to do so. I removed the font files from the library, but when I generate the size report, it appears that font embed information is still being included and is adding significant file size. Any ideas if how to clear this out?

Thanks

Do Fonts Embed Themselves?
Do fonts embed themselves into the exported swf so that all viewers see the intended font, or does their system substitute the font for the closest match if they don't have the font on their system?

I am trying to embed some fonts in my text area component. I use the folowing script:

text_area_02.color = 0x666666;
text_area_02.embedFonts = "FFF Harmony";
text_area_02.fontFamily = "FFF Harmony";
text_area_02.fontSize = 8;
text_area_02.fontStyle = "normal";
text_area_02.textAlign = "right";
text_area_02.depthChild0._alpha = 0;

The fonts are not embeded...you can see at www.krukiel.com and go to an image icon then to info...what gives? Should I just change to ariel?

thanks,

Hello! I'm are using a very special font for my flash-movie. How can I make sure that other people can watch it? Where can I say that flash should include the font into the .swf-file?

Please Help Me How Can I Embed Fonts?
Hello,

I selected "New Font" in the Library panel, but when I tested my .swf on another computer, the supposedly embedded font is messed up!

I've spent an hour reading webpages about it, but I still don't get it. All they talk about is Dynamic text fields, but i'm using a Simple text field.

Please help, thankyou!

Using Embed Fonts
i use this text format

Code:
// set TEXT FORMAT
kk_text_fmt = new TextFormat()
kk_text_fmt.font = "Verdana"
kk_text_fmt.size = 10
kk_text_fmt.color = 0xFFFFFF
If i want to use embedFonts method it not works

Code:
createTextField("main_text_txt",1000,205,198,330,150);
main_text_txt.multiline = true;
main_text_txt.wordWrap = true;
main_text_txt.border = true;
main_text_txt.background = false
main_text_txt.text = this.var_main_txt
main_text_txt._visible = 1
main_text_txt.embedFonts =true
main_text_txt.setTextFormat(kk_text_fmt);
Can i use .embedFonts =true in this case?

hi,

im planning to go through my whole file and embed the fonts in all my dynamic and input text boxes by going through "character" in properties. Is there a quick way i can do it for my whole document rather than every single box - theres probably about a hundred boxes. And how will this affect the size of my swf?

Can't Embed Fonts
Howdy Folks,

This seems wierd to me, I don't know what I'm missing. I've done all sorts of things, but for the life of me can not embed fonts.

I create a dynamic text field, I select embed, I select the characters I want from the list, or I simply type the characters in I want, in this example, a preloader, so I need 123456789%.

I then goto publish, low and behold, the font isn't displayed. I goto don't embed, and it's back. What am I doing wrong here, pleaaaaase help me.

Edit: I've just ascertained that exactly the same action functions no problems using flash player 7

Hi,
I am making a site in flash 8. I am using dynamic text and static text.
Do I need to embed both dynamic and static text?

How do I do this???
Thanks so much!

Embed Fonts
New to this feature.

I'm planning on loading and external content.swf into the main.swf. The content.swf has dynamic text fields. Anyway, if I embed fonts on the main.swf are they accessible by the text fields within the content.swf...and do I need to do anything special with the text field?

Any advice and/or links to good resources would be appreciated.

How To Embed Fonts?
hi im trying to create a textfield with AS3 with Arial Rounded MT Bold, this is what i have come up with so far but it does not embed the font:

Code:
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
[Embed(source='assets/ARLRDBD.TTF', fontName="Arial Rounded MT Bold", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")];

var cr:TextField = new TextField();
cr.text = "a text";
cr.x = 300;
cr.y = 300;
var crf:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Arial Rounded MT Bold", 15);
cr.setTextFormat(crf);
addChild(cr);
any ideas?

Is There Any Other Way To Embed Fonts?
Hi,

I have four dynamic text fields in a screen. Those text fields are feeded with a XML file content.
I have the Embed all activated on the text field properties of all of them. Nevertheless, considering the time that Flash takes to compile the SWF, I think that it is keeping 4 redundant glyph sets.

So, is there any other way to embed fonts instead of the Embed button? I need to embed all sizes, all variations of the font.

Best regards,
Norberto

Hello,

I'm trying to assign an embedded font to a programmatically generated TextField. When I enable the embedFonts (i.e. set it to true) the text does not display at all. When I comment out that line of code, the text displays but in system fonts. Any help is greatly appreciated...

Here's My Code:

Attach Code

[Embed(source="C:WindowsFontsfff_estudio_extended.ttf", fontName="fff_estudio_extended", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype" )]
var _arrBtnLbls:Array = new Array;
_arrBtnLbls.push("main");
_arrBtnLbls.push("about us");
_arrBtnLbls.push("web");
_arrBtnLbls.push("print");
_arrBtnLbls.push("contact");

var tfTempTxtField:TextField = new TextField;
var tfX:Number = 0;

for(var i:int = 0; i <= _arrBtnLbls.length - 1; i++){
generateTxtField(_arrBtnLbls[i]);
tfTempTxtField = TextField(getChildByName(_arrBtnLbls[i].replace(" ", "_")));
tfTempTxtField.text = _arrBtnLbls[i];
tfTempTxtField.x = tfX;
trace(tfTempTxtField.width);
trace(tfTempTxtField.length);
tfX += tfTempTxtField.width + 20;
}

function generateTxtField(n:String){
var txtField:TextField = new TextField;
var frmFormatter:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

frmFormatter.font = "fff_estudio_extended";
frmFormatter.color = 0xFFFFFF;
txtField.embedFonts = true;
txtField.setTextFormat(frmFormatter);
txtField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;

txtField.name = n.replace(" ", "_");

addChild(txtField);
}

trace("mainBtn.length " + mainBtn.length);
trace("mainBtn.width " + mainBtn.width);

Hi, I have a problem with fonts in flash. I'm trying to make a complex app. I want to put all the fonts in a swf, laod that swf and use the fonts with AS3. I want to create textFileds with AS3 and set the fonts. The problems is when I make a shared lib I can not access fonts with AS3. I have put the fonts the my library, I can access them with AS3 but teh problem is when I put my app on a computer with out those fonts, the textFileds don't have the correct fonts. What can I do to fix it? I prefer if possible to have the fonts embed in a speared swf and load them in my main movie, but if this is not possible then just embed them in the main movie.
Thank you for taking a look on this post hope you know a solution.

Hi

When do I need to embed fonts? Is it just when I'm using a font that may not be on someone elses PC?

Can anyone just give me some info on this please?

Embed Fonts
only one thing: when i have more than one textfields, all with the same special font, and the font is only embed in one textfield, will it work though? i mean, when i embe the font i use in all my textfields only once? and in the other textfields i do not inlude the font?

Embed Fonts
Code:
var bdy:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
bdy.color = 0x60503B;
bdy.font = "hnbc-13";

var tfield:TextField = txt.createTextField("txtfld",txt.getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,0,0);
tfield._width = 460;
tfield._height = 500;
tfield.multiline = true;
tfield.wordWrap = true;
tfield.html = true;
tfield.htmlText = "RAGE";
tfield.embedFonts = true;
tfield.setTextFormat(bdy);
That works. But the problem is when I change the text in the text field is the problem. I just stops displaying.

Code:
_parent.txt.txtfld.htmlText = article.firstChild.childNodes[2].attributes.text.replace("[","<").replace("]",">");
I have the font in the library, and linked. I know it's done right since it works for the first time. But after that no go.

Any thoughts on this?

Embed These Fonts?
I know this subject has been talked about a lot but I need some specifics here. I've searched thru and looked at other posts.

In my movies, I'm using FFF fonts and _sans. Do I need to embed those fonts? If yes, how do I go about doing that?

Embed Fonts Problem
well no matter what font I use, or don't use, i always get the "flash can not find font outline, blah, blah ,blah. . ." where EXACTLY does flash look for the outline fonts needed to inclued an embedded font. . .??

I would assume in the fonts folder in the system folder ??
does suitcase work with flash ??

Yes, I am on a Mac. . .

EXACTLY what type of font does flash look for ??

type 1, type 3, truetype?? postscript fonts ??

I have 5 books on actionscript and they are all very vague, if they discuss it at all, including "actionscript the difinitive guide" and "flash 5 actionscript studio"

I would love to know what I am doing wrong, this is realy annoying.
any insight is greatly appreciated. . .
