Font Embed?@$?
how do i ensure that the fonts within my flash will show up as that font I intended, and not some default font? Is making it a graphic symbol not the way to go to embed the font?

Anyone Know Flash CS3 Embed Font's Glyphs Range With Font Class(no TextField )
I have add some font by Font class in the library
(TextFeild.embedFonts=true)
but the font's glyphs looks not enough.
when i use text String " ü ä ö ß π à â ç è é ê ë î ï ô ù û œ "
only the "Ï€" and "Å“" is can be visible.
Font.hasGlyphs also return false;
if i only create a TextField, and Click the Embed button selection glyphs range.
the text will be fine.
but i won't use TextField by drag to the stage
i heard in flex:
@font-face {
src:local("Arial");
fontFamily: myFont;
flashType: true;
unicodeRange:
U+0041-U+005A, /* [A..Z] */
U+0061-U+007A, /* a-z */
U+0030-U+0039, /* [0..9] */
U+002E-U+002E; /* [.] */
}
so what can i do in Flash CS 3?
thanks a lot
i really tried working on this.maybe i just need go back use the .....TextField.

Embed Font Symbols And Font Size
Hi all, i've been playing around with embedding fonts and have a query.
It is very important to tick the correct bold and italic boxes for your font in the library, but does the size field make any difference?
I couldn't for instance see any difference between arial 24 embeded as arial 12 and arial 12 embeded as arial 24. Does anyone have an reason to think the library text size is important?
Thanks,
James

How To Embed A Font From A Font Symbol
Hi everybody,
I keep having the same trouble everytime I try to use a font symbol from an external library in a dynamic textfield.
I create the font symbol in my external library, with the options "Export for Actionscript", "Export for runtime sharing" and Export in first frame" all selected. I also give it an identifier "font1"
I import the font symbol into my main movie, and create the following script for a text format to be use with a textfield.
Code:
var tabText_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tabText_fmt.color=0x000000
tabText_fmt.font = "font1";
//
dada_txt.embedFonts = true;
dada_txt.text = "Thank You";
dada_txt.setTextFormat(tabText_fmt);
But when I publish the movie, there is no text in the textfield.
Can anyone please help me? Is there any step that I am missing?
Thanks a lot

How Do I Embed A Font?
I'm not sure how to do this, but I'd like to learn
On other computers, if the font is not installed on their machine, then they get a default text where my text should be. I think it turns to times new roman on other computers.
I'm using a pixel font made for flash, but it's not showing up on other computers, and I was told if I embeded the font, it would work fine.
Anyone help?

Embed Font With As?
Let's say you have a menu for a site that was created using just actionscript alone (i.e. you're using MovieClip.createTextField() ) how the heck would I EMBED a font that I want to use? Would I have to create a "fake" textfield off stage and embed it there? Can it be embedded using just AS?
peace out,

Embed Font + Css
hello !
i specify the text formatting of my dynamic textfields via an external css file.
I would like to use a special font, so i specify it in the CSS file. Of course, on my computer it works fine (since the font is installed on it), but on another one, the font does not show.
I tried setting a textformat, but it seems that flash does not allow the use of css AND textformat on the same textField.
True ?
Workaround ?
thanks,
alex
PS here is the code if you need:
ActionScript Code:
myPanel.createTextField("main_txt", myPanel.getNextHighestDepth(), myPanel.main_mc._x+xPaddingText, myPanel.main_mc._y+yPaddingText, xPadding+contentWidth, myPanel.text_mc._height-(yPaddingText*2));
myPanel.main_txt.border = true;
myPanel.main_txt.borderColor = 0x990000;
myPanel.main_txt.condenseWhite = true;
myPanel.main_txt.wordWrap = true;
myPanel.main_txt.multiline = true;
myPanel.main_txt.html = true;
myPanel.main_txt.selectable = false;
myPanel.main_txt.styleSheet = special_css;
myPanel.main_txt.htmlText = textArray[ID];

Embed Font
Recently, I am doing interactive CD using Flash with Chinese content in it. Therefore, in order to ensure the Chinese text will be properly displayed on very users computer, I have embed the font. However, after I embed the font, I found that the size of SWF file, CPU usage and RAM usage increase dramatically. This causes the file load and play a bit slowly than usual. Is there anyway to reduce it and speed the thing up?

Embed Font... How Would You Do This?
I have a program in which the user types something, then it displays. They can then choose the font they want.
There are 40 fonts, many are unique. I know I must embed these, but first off I realize if I embed 40 fonts I feel the file size will grow largely. I don't want this.
Any suggestions?

Embed Font Via AS
I was just wondering if there was a way to control what's getting embeded via AS, I know that we can use myTextField.embedFonts = true with a font in the library and the proper linkage but is there another way without actually having the font in the library and being able to choose the character sets that are getting embeded.
Also will I be able to fade the dynamically loaded text once it's embeded?

Embed Font
Hi!
I am working on a flash site which uses Georgia (just regular) and I would like to embed the entire font since I am using dynamic text. So far I have added the font to the library, but it asks for the point size and since I use both 10 pt and 12 pt, do I have to add both? Or is there a better way? (I remember adding some actionscript to the first frame, but don't remember what).
I guess my question is: What is the best way to embed a font when using multiple dynamic text boxes, and text in different sizes?
Thanx for any help!

Font Embed, Bug?
Hi there, I have a dynamic text box inside a movieclip that is generating load percentage eg: 40% etc. I have two Scenes, the first scene preloads the entire movie (this works fine, has the numbers plus percentage).
The second scene runs a movieclip preloader (while reusing the same dynamic text box in the same movieclip) - For some reason the % is not showing up after the numbers, I know its working because when I trace what the text is in the dynamic textbox during the script it shows the % sign after the numbers in the output window.
This also occurs with all the other punctuation glyphs I try, not just the % sign...
Is this a bug in flash? I can probably fix it by just merging the two scenes together, but it would be nice to know whats up.
Cheers,
Ryan

Hi, hope someone can help me out.
I´m making a site in flash that will be exposed all over the world, russia, china and so on, and I´m not shure about the font embedding.
1. If I use nested movieclips, do I have to embed in all, or just main movie.
2. I use verdana, is is enough to embed a-z A-Z 0-9 + special charcters for my county åäö ÅÄÖ. I really don´t understand about the glyphs.
Very great ful if someone can help. TIA

Embed Font Source In CSS
Hey Board Members,
recently I came across this CSS coding:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
@font-face { font-family: Myriad Roman; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; src: url(/MYRIADR1.eot);}
-->
</STYLE>
Now, what appears is that the CSS is loading a special font called "Myriad Roman" on the users system (if not available already). The only problem is what's the extension ".eot" at the end of the fond-file name for? Is it a normal font extension or a special encoding for a CSS?
Help me outta here!!
How is that done?
Thanx very much!!!

Embed Font Questions
There are a few questions Id like to know the answers to:
When using Dynamic text, In order to mask it, you have to embed the font correct? Does that include loaded text?
Another thing I want to know is this: I have a couple of text boxes with dynamic text, Do I have to embed the font for all of them? And why would I have to do this if I already embeded it the first time?
How come when embeding a pixel font, the font does not look the way it is supposed to when previewed? It looks blotchy?
One last question would be is: Whats the difference between linking a font with the library, and embeding a font?
Sorry for all the questions, but the little things drive me nuts!

Embed Font Question
If you are using the same font in several text fields, is it necessary to embed the font for all text fields, or if it is set for one, do the rest of the fields using the same font automatically inherit the fonts?
Also, if i have 10 text fields using that same font, how is the file size affected by embedding for all 10?

Embed MAC Font With PC-flash
O.K. little prob....
read almost every post on font, embedding, pixels, etc. But, thow the question is simple the answer is not easily found. I created a site on PC using dynamic textfield with Century Gothic font. All looks nice (if I may say that myself) but, on MAC it is horror. The Mac will not recognise the embedden Gothic font since it is a PC font. So in steat the MAC will use system default and "fault up" the text. I've got the Century Gothic font for MAC but how do I embed a MAC font on a PC since it is not recognised.
Since I made a CMS for all text blocks I wan't to use dynamic text. The site is rather small so embedding fonts is no problem what so ever....
Any suggestions?

Embed Font In Flash MX
Hello FK users,
I am trying to export the font 'franklin gothic book' in static text mode into my Flash MX movie, www.menu.nomadink.com
I understand that if the font looks good when anti-aliased, flash is supposed to automatically export the outlines for that font. why is this not working when viewed on machines that do not have franklin gothic book?
the results are strange. some of the text blocks are appearing correctly, and some are looking jagged/fuzzy (maybe defaulting to a mut crossbreed of arial or something) when i look at my flash movies, they are all saved in the same way, static, franklin gothic book.
I am also dealing with exporting the font as dynamic, and embedding only the specific characters that i need, but if i choose this option, do I need to do this for every time that text appears, and seperately for all the embedded movie clips as well? it is a design portfolio site (mainly images) but there is a fair amount of text as well. I was reading about placing a font in the library, do you do this once? or on every library of every clip of the movie?
can someone help with this?
very appreciative, Tyler

Embed Font With Code ONLY
Hi!
I have spent two whole days reading stuff about embedding fonts in Flash CS3 and it seems to be a NIGHTMARE!!
I am developing a component similar to the label component with some modifications (enables the user to choose font, color etc. in the parameters UI). So the goal with my component is to make it even simpler to use than the original text tool.
Since flash's font embedding requires a rocket science degree I want my component to automatically embed any font that the user selects for the component to use (via the parameters UI).
The component is simple. It creates a new TextField and enables the user to set different properties and it works fine... Until I set the embedFonts = true..
I have tried a lot of examples. I found out that the [embed]-thingy only works in flex (WHY ADOBE, WHY!!?!?!?). I have tried jsfl but since the text field is created in runtime I am out of luck on that one I guess.. Unless I can extract the path to the actual font with jsfl and in that way import it to the library. But I can't find the property (if there is one) that holds the complete path to the font file, or even the font filename.
So my question is: Is there ANY way to automatically embed fonts in Flash CS3 by using code only?

Embed Font Problem
I'm loading an external swf into my main swf that has embedded fonts. ie, this is the code in my font.fla:
import flash.text.*;
Font.registerFont(Aachen);
Aachen is the linkage name in the lib. then in my main.fla(one that loads the font.swf), i'm doing this:
t.embedFonts = true;
trace('fname: ' + Font.enumerateFonts()[0].fontName);
t.setTextFormat(new TextFormat(Font.enumerateFonts()[0].fontName, 29, 0x043F5F));
the trace() always prints out the correct font name but the textField is completely blank.
the font that i want to embed is used throughout the main.fla as static text. if i use any other font for the embed font the text shows for the actionScript above.
so it seems like because the static text uses the same font i want to embed, it's blocking it. has anyone see this before? solution?
thanks

Embed Font Question
Say I have three fla files: index.fla, content.fla and navigation.fla. Index loads and handles the interaction between content and navigation etc. Content and Navigation use the same collection of fonts. Everything I have tried has indicated that I need to have those fonts repeated in content and navigation's libraries and exported for actionscript. The problem is that each font adds 40K to the swf for both content and navigation. If I could centralize the fonts to the parent fla file, that would save me 40K per font. I would like to have the fonts all in the index.fla library, but I can't get it to work that way. So the goal would be to have no fonts in content and navigations library and have them exported to actionscript once in index.
Does anyone know how to make that work?

On the first one i embedded the fonts and since the remainig use the same font it should not be necessary to embed on those too. But the font only displays ok on the mc with embed font activated.
