Flash :: Non Windows Font

Font Issues - Mac And Windows Xp
hey all you flash freaks
so here is my problem, I have just designed a website in flash mx on my macintosh (os x). the site is http://www.ogdenlittle.com
Now the client that I designed it for would like to edit and update it from his computer which is PC (windows xp). Doesnt seem like it should be much of a problem, except when I load the source .fla files on his machine, the fonts (adobe trade gothic) show up missing, or if they do show up, they are infact the wrong variation of trade gothic. the versions trade gothic come directly from a transtype transfer of the font that I have made, so they should work fine, not to mention we also tryed using the pc versions of adobe trade gothic he has. not sure what to do about this, any tips on making fonts match from mac to PC would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Importing Mac Compiled Swf In Windows -font Issue
not sure if this is at all possible. I have some mac fonts that I want to use. So, I figured maybe if I included the fonts in the library on Mac, and compiled to swf on mac, then put that swf in the windows library, I'd somehow have access to the fonts. Maybe I'm just dreaming... is there a way? Or is the only way to get this done is to do the final compile on a Mac?

Embedded Font Displaying In Windows But Not Linux
Hi,

I have dynamic text fields on the stage in my movie. I have clicked the dynamic text fields, clicked 'Embed' and embedded the UPPER case characters of the font.

On various windows machines that do not have the font.. The font displays.

However on linux machines that do not have the font.. The font does not display.

Any ideas how I can fix this, any other methods of embed? I would still like to keep the character set to just UPPERCASE A - Z if possible to keep file size down.

Cheers,
Ryan

Flash Popup Adverts/windows That Aren't Windows
Hi there

Just wondering if anyone knows any links to tutorials to make those flash adverts you find on websites? They are actual popup windows but flash boxes that appear above a webpage.

I think they use div layers as well as some flash? But im not sure where to find a tutorial!

For an example visit:

http://www.channel4.com/4car/news/index.jsp

(you might need to click on several pages down the left to get one to appear)

Any help on this would be a great help.

Thanks

How To Create 'Windows' Windows With Flash?
I'd like to create a windows system like the one we use on windows. This is what i really like:
Yo have some buttons. When u click on any of 'em a popup window opens (inside could be text, image or movieclips or all of 'em). Last window it opens always shows up on top and if u select one that it's behind this comes automaticly to the top. I'd love too if u could minimize 'em and also if eacho one opens into a new swf.
There is a example of what I want here:
http://senocular.com/flash/source.php?id=0.49
But in that example everything is in the same swf, and as I said some lines before I want each window to open into another swf.

...........hope u can help me. Thanks!

Font Usage Question (Hoping For Advice And Recommendation On Chinese Font)
Hello guys,

1st of all, thank you for reading this post.

I've been assigned to develop my first flash chinese website (Translating it from the english version which is also flash) Technically using back 100% of fla files of eng ver.

Im loading text into dynamic textbox from .xml files. I understand .xml needs to set to UTF-8 etc and technically it's showing up.

On my 1st attempt, i went for _sans / _serif and paste in the text from microsoft word. I notice _sans _serif font cant use bitmap text option and the font appears really blurry.

I took my friend advice in going for Mingliu font, as he told me that anyone that can view chinese font on a pc should have Mingliu font (somehow universal)

Embedding anything is totally out of the question, as you know embeding chinese font will skyrocket the swf filesize.

So I was hoping for some advice. Objective will be get the file size as normal, font looks sharp and crisp.

Thank you all for reading again

How To Separate The Bold Style Of A Font In The Flash Font List.
Hello!

Im working on a project that has font names coming from xml.
The thing is, when the font is set to Luxury Text Bold from xml, flash cant find the font and displays nothing

The font file exists with the name, but flash will only show one in the font list (Luxury Text).
On a mac it displays separate styles too.

How would I fix this?

Thanks for any help
Martin

PS. tried publishing on a mac, but there were other issues then

edit: this problem would be solved in CS4, you can select styles when opening a document which has fonts whose names dont exactly match the ones on your pc etc. You can now select alternate styles there, inability to do so in CS3 actually caused the problem in the first place.

Font Missing In Flash Font List, But Appears In Photoshop?
Hi,

I have a font called 'Terminal' that looks like a pixel font. It appears fine in Photoshop, but does not appear at all in the Flash font list.

I suppose there is a simple reason for this, but is there a work around to get it to work.

It looks like the perfect font for me to use, and im eager to get this job done!!

Thanks

Font Mapping (default Font Not Found Error)
Hey,

This ain't abig problem, but is annoying as hell.. never bothered to post anythin here before about it.. and I can't figure it out.

When I open my site, it says font not found, use default or font mapping. I duno what font isn't found.. haha I can' remember deleting any of them off my computer.

Anyways, When I go to font mapping and change it to another font, everytime I open flash it still gives me the error, no matter how many times I change it.
How can I fix it?

Embedding Font And Dynamic Html Text -> Font Is Gone
Hi there ,

I've been searching all over this forum and searched on Google for an answer to this question but can't find an answer that works to me.

I have some dynamic textfields and I retrieve the data from a databases. Each textfield has a handwritten font which I embed using Character Options in the Text Properties. That works fine.

The problem is, when I check the 'Render as HTML' checkbox and send simple HTML-tags to it, the html-tags still work but the handwritten font is gone! I really tried lot of things but it really doesn't work to me.

I really hope someone can help me. I really appreciate it!

Kind regards,

Local Font Vs Embedded Font Trouble..any Expert Help?
Hi there!
I'm loading some dynamic text to my Flash movie. We all know about the anti-aliasing problem on fonts: they look blurred and ugly.
I know the solution for this can be solved by using Pixel fonts instead, and by using some tricks (0,0 coordenates, no resizing MC comprising text, avoid even font sizes, a few parameters in Publish Settings, etc.).

However I quite don't understand the following behaviour:
If I load some dynamic text (and I don't use a pixel font, i.e. Century Book which I import to my library) when I include the range of characters in the Character dialog (on the font properties) the quality of my text decreases a lot and it becomes really ugly. If I DON'T include any character or range of characters in the Character Dialog, then the text is more readable and looks fine...Why?

I thought the anti-aliasing problem always happened to all non-pixel fonts, however it does not happen here (except when I include a range of characters to be embedded).
I see I must choose among these four things:
1- Publish settings to Low Quality so that anti-aliasing is not applied to my MC...Not a solution..text even looks worse, not to mention the rest of my MC which is full of moving curves..
2- Change the Font set (not good for my project).
3- Include the required character ranges, despite the ugly quality of text.
4- Don't include any character range...but if somebody does not have the Century Book Font on system, I won't have control about what he's actually seeing...which is not very professional..

What can I do? Any suggestion or solution? What would you do?
I also would like to know the reason of the above mentioned behaviour, does anybody know why is it like that?

Thank you very much for your time guys.

Flash Application Font-Face And Font-Style
This is a similar thread to one I posted earlier but this one is more detailed to explain my problem

Does anyone know how to change the programs font-face, font-size, font-style etc ... of the console? I'm referring to all of the outer workspace area, not the stage.
I found the image below at some website by google just to illustrate:
http://cis2.stvincent.edu/martincc/introwpd/flash/flashscreen.jpg

See the panels on the right side? Swatches, Character, Sound panels. On my computer, the font size for these words and for everything inside these panels are microscopic. They are so small it can't be read unless you stare at it for a while.
How do I change the font size or face for these fonts?

Now you see the top of the screen, where it says "File Edit View Insert Modify Text Control Window Help"? All of these font sizes are perfectly normal just like everything on my computer. I also use Adobe Photoshop CS 8.0 and the panel window fonts are perfect as well as everything else, so I know that it is a problem only with my Flash 5.0.

I would appreciate any help you guys can give me, as it takes me forever to work on a project, I have to stare for a while to figure out what the panel text says.

Combo Box For Font Size And Font Style
Hi all

I'm creating a text formatting toolbar. So far I've create most of the buttons including bold, italic and so on.
I've attempted to create two combo box to hold the font sizes and font syles but when one works another one it doens't .

I think the problem is with _root.onEnterFrame(); but i've no idea how to solve the problem. Even though this code doesn't do exactly one I want. Because it applies the change to the entire text area instead for the selected one.
My code is bellow

Code:
this.attachMovie("ComboBox","fontStyle_cmb",this.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:356, _y:4});
this.attachMovie("ComboBox","fontSize_cmb",this.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:457, _y:4});

fillFontSyle();
fillFontSize()

function fillFontSyle(){
fontStyle_cmb.setDataProvider(TextField.getFontList().sort());
fontStyle_cmb.setSelectedIndex(0);
}

function fillFontSize(){
fontSizes=[5,10,12,25,46];
for (i = 0; i < fontSizes.length; i++)
fontSize_cmb.addItem(fontSizes[i]);
fontSize_cmb.setSize(40);
}

tf = new TextFormat();
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
fontStyle_cmb.onKillFocus = function() {
selecting = false;
};
fontStyle_cmb.onSetFocus = function() {
selecting = true;
};
if (selecting) {
_root.fontLable.text = fontStyle_cmb.getValue();
tf.font = fontStyle_cmb.getValue();
textArea.sampleTextBox.setTextFormat(tf);
} else {
fontStyle_cmb.setValue(_root.fontLable.text);
}
textArea.sampleTextBox.setNewTextFormat(tf);
};

ts= new TextFormat();

_root.onEnterFrame=function() {
fontSize_cmb.onKillFocus = function() {
selecting = false;
};
fontSize_cmb.onSetFocus = function() {
selecting = true;
};
if (selecting) {
ts.size = fontSize_cmb.getValue();
textArea.sampleTextBox.setTextFormat(ts);
}
textArea.sampleTextBox.setNewTextFormat(ts);
};

I got this code from book if there is another way to do it that woul'd be great. Since this looks a bit tedious.

Thanx

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

Font Problem - Embedded Font Won't Work..
I've embedded a font into my library and gone in and setup the linkage to export
to ActionScript and and Export in first frame, and I've followed several tutorials for link embedding.

Yet still my font won't show up.

Is it possible that some fonts can't be embedded?

The font i'm trying to embed is a free font called Transponder AOE.

Need A 16pt + Pixel Font ? Also - Font Outlines?
Hi there,

firstly, im trying to include my font outlines on my dynamic text box - but when i view the file, its all squashed up, not how it is meant to be (By using the character button, and including uppercase and lowercase).

Does this mean that it cant export my font (as per the help file - some fonts cant be exported).

Also - does anyone know of a nice, clean, crisp looking free font which will work good around 16pt ?

Many thanks for your help and time,

Neil

Font Now Showing Up In Font Selection List?
I am working on a project that I am using the font Bernhard Modern Std in. I used the font in my Photoshop mockup and need to use it in flash. My problem is it is not showing up in my font list in flash to select it. It is a open typeface and I am not understanding why I don't see it listed in my font list in Flash8 to select it. I need to use this font because the client is expecting it to be used. How can I get it to show up in flash to use it? I am on a PC also.

Windows Emulator.... Having Trouble With Minimizing The "windows".
I'm creating a website that will behave kinda' like Windows. I have a basic menu that when you click on an option, a window will open up. You can drag the windows and close them. However, I'm having trouble with the minimizing part.

Lets say that I have 3 "windows" (each is a movie clip) called "win1", "win2", and "win3". Each window has an instance of a minimize button. When you click the button, the window should minimize to the bottom of the screen, and line up in the order that it was minimized in (just like Windows). I figured out how to get them to minimize, but I can't get them to sort themselves correctly.

Lets say that I just minimized all three windows in this order:
win1, win2, win3

Now, if I click on win1 to maximize it, I want win2 and win3 to shift over to the left to take the place of win1. Then, if I minimize win1 again, it should go to the end of the row. Resulting in this order:
win2, win3, win1

Does anyone know of any code that I could make these windows sort themselves when they are minimized and maximized?

Thanks!

Interesting Issue With Flash And Windows - Flash Start With Windows?
Hey guys,
I'm programming a flash application that would run on a user's desktop (using MDM or similar programs to convert to a transparent background EXE).
My client would like to have the users select weather they want to application to start with windows or not. I would like to know how to make my flash application start with Windows without manually adding it (the users won't have to add it to the startup folder themselves). Can flash write to the registry? Can a third party program do it for me? The client wanted to EXE to run without an installation. Thank you very much!

Windows To Mac To Windows Problem
I'm a Mac user and I'm working on a large project with a client who is using Windows XP. My client is creating some Flash content in Windows and then sending the .swfs to me to incorporate into the site.

These files play fine on my computer. I upload them to my web server and my Windows-based clients are able to view them over the web. However, if I email the .swfs back to my client, they won't run on the Windows computer. This is a problem, since it's my client who will ultimately be hosting the site.

There is no problem with .swfs that I publish on my computer and then email to my client.

Any ideas?

Is A Font A Pixel/Flash Font Or Not ?
Hello all,

For all the fonts I have, how can I tell if they are Pixel/Flash fonts or not ??

I have unfortunately created my very first Flash site not realizing that not all fonts work well with Flash presentations - The current font ( Zurich ) I am using makes the text look fuzzy and faded.

I do have other options, but how can I tell if a particular font is a Pixel/Flash font ??

Thanks in advance.

Chinese Font? Which Font To Used? *confused*
Hello guys,

Pardon me if this question is really newbie like, but you prolly have expected since it's posted on "Flash Newbies" category hehe

I've been assign to develop a fully flash based website in chinese. (1st time)

So I'm really confused on which font to use, i've searched for help on several forums (ultrashock, actionscript, kirupa, etc.) but none is related to my topic.

I've followed advice from other members in copy pasting the chinese wording from microsoft word to flash (which works) and its displaying chinese words in the flash. My question is, which font should I use so that the font isn't blurry and looks crisp sharp (easier to read).

I've tried googling chinese pixel font, chinese font download etc.

Example font's i've downloaded and tried to use (http://www.sino.uni-heidelberg.de/ed...nese_fonts.htm) , i downloaded the font but it's not showing up in my flash 8. I tried using _sans & _serif , Both is okay lookin but still is blurry.

Putting it into photoshop and save it as an image and put it in flash isn't an option (I know it can be done, and prolly better). But due to how the fla is construct , i'm not allowed to do so..

For all of the above, the font is merely used on static text mode.

-------

2nd question.

A certain part of the flash site uses dynamic textbox and load .xml file into it. I understand that .xml needs to set to UTF-8 etc and it's showing up on the .swf. Also a question of which font to use for the dynamic textbox? I do not want to embed the fonts as it will increase the file size alot. So same question, how do I make it clean,sharp & crisp.

I'll be looking forward in hearing from you guys

Sharing Font Without Loading Again The Font?
Hello world :
The new problem :
Main.swf (63kbs)
…….|__myfont (in library, -60kbs-)
…….|__ textField (textStyle.font=”myfont”)
…….|__container.loadMovie(other.swf)

Other.swf (3kbs)---->>>Don’t want to put the font in library because the size
…….|__textField (textStyle.font=”myfont”//that I want to use from the main.swf )

Text in main.swf works perfectly but other.swf looks like it can’t use the font from the main.swf (also if other.swf has been loaded and initialized) so this problem was solved with sharing the font like it’s explained here: livedocs or here
So now, both of the swf files can use the font and the size in other.swf is preserved (3kbs)… but when I tested the main.swf -simulate download- looks like other.swf is loading again the font… and this is redundant cause the font is already in main.swf and wait for another 60kbs is a waist of time .
So anybody has any idea??? Of how we can use the same font in other movies already loaded in the same movie where the font is????
Thanks

Font Not Showing Up In Font List
I have a bunch of Frutiger fonts and for some reason only half of them are showing up in my Flash program's fonts list. For example, the one I need, Frutiger 45 Light, isn't showing when Frutiger 47 Light Condensed is. Any reason this would happen? It shows up fine in Photoshop. I'm on an iMac OSX 10.5.3.

Below is an image from my font book. The ones that aren't showing up are the ones with '*'s in them? Could this be something weird with the fonts and not Flash?

Thanks!

Font Question And Font Mapping
Does anyone know of a way to automatically go through a project and set all of the fonts permanently to system fonts?

I can remove all of the fonts I used from my fonts library and when I load the FLA it uses the system fonts, like it should and like I need it to. The problem I am having is when I reinstall those fonts and reload my FLA, they go back to being the font they should.

Does anyone know how to permanently map those fonts to a system font, without doing one text field at a time?

Duplicate Font In Font List
In my pull-down font lists in Flash 2004, Flash 8, and Flash 9 there are two entries for Arial CE. This occurred recently for reasons that I can't figure out. When I delete Arial CE from my Windows font collection, one of the entries in the Flash font list disappears, but the other remains (even after restarting Flash.)
Regardless of whether the font appears once or twice, it doesn't behave correctly. When I open a file that uses Arial CE, text fields that were created with Arial CE display that font name but show up as a serif font.
I can create a new text field that correctly uses Arial CE, but I can't fix the old ones. Even search and replace fails.
It would seem to me that the extra version is corrupt, but somehow incorporated into the Flash system rather than coming from Windows.

Any ideas?

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

Device Font Vs Pixel Font
I didn't use device fonts before but i am really satisfied with them now, they look almost good as pixel at smaller sizes(some letters r not perfect) and they r free :-). Ofcourse there is only 3 type and only _sans is really good for job :-). So i am wondering is there some special reason i should use some Miniml standard font if i can use device font _sans which is really similar (or the same) as Arial used in HTML. What is this device font anyway? why didn't MM make more of this device fonts? Anyway i am pretty satisfied with them, do you use them?

p.s.
still this font cannot be animated(put at some angles other then 0 )
