Automatically loading a new font in a flash

I was thinking of making my own font for my flash website,
but the problem is , the users will not have the font, therefore it
will only show the default font for them.
There is a flashchat program (web driven) that has new fonts
on it, that when chosen, you see a small loading bar below and the
font is automatically loaded somehow. (they used actionscript 2.0
though)
Could someone please inform me of such a method? I am using
flash cs3 pro.

Hi,
There is an example in the examples folder ExecutingSequencesInParallel that should help you.
The first sequence call has been setup to run in a new execution.
All you would have to do is include the ProcessSetup Callback Sequence in your sequencefile and perform your new sequence call from there.

When I open a tab, it doesn't automatically load the new page. What's wrong?

Exactly what the question states.
When I open a new tab by right clicking a link and saying "open in a new tab", it doesn't load. It pops up a new tab, and the web address is in the address bar, but it doesn't load the page. I have to manually tell it to load the page.
So... What gives?

This may be due to a problem with an add-on. For details of how to troubleshoot that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

How do i download a new font from the web then add it so i can use it freely in 'word'?

I am having terrible difficulty using a font that i down loaded on to my macbook pro. I can see it in my font book but no matter what i do it does not appear in my 'Word' font library. Its in Font Book but it seems set to stay there and do nothing. Im tearing my hair out here! In simple simple simple terms can anybody give me step by step info on how to down load a new font then get it so it can be used just like all the pre list fonts?

Have you tried restarting the MBP? (Btw, you should post this question in the Snow Leopard forum -- there's nothing here specific to the MBP.)

How do I automatically load a page from a Flash intro?

I've created an intro Flash movie for my website and have two
questions:
1) Once the movie has run its course, how do I automatically
get the next swf file (home.swf) to automatically load after it? I
am using Flash CS3 and will be using Dreamweaver CS3 to publish.
2) If someone wants to skip the intro movie and go straight
to home.swf how do I make this happen? I've created a "skip movie"
button but am not quite sure about the code required to make the
button work.
I'm very new to Actionscript so this is still a bit of Greek
to me. I appreciate any help!

Flash CS3 is ok but r u using Actionscript 2.0 or 3.0
if you use Action script 2.0 i can give you the solution...
we can do the same thing in different manner but i don't know
how you have done... but my part of idea is you can have a base
movie and in that you can load the first intro.swf and in the end
of that intro movie clip you can unload the current movie and load
a homemovie in the base movie clip so that you will have more
benefit like if they skip the intro you can just load the home .swf
directly without loading the intro.swf. this is just a general
idea.
If you give a clear idea how you has created i can give you a
better and a clear idea with the code...
Plz specify weather it is ActionScript 2.0 or 3.0 if it is
ActionScript 2.0 i can Help you :-)

My iCloud account name was inputted incorrectly when my iPhone was set up. I made a new iCloud account but my phone still automatically loads the old and unusable iCloud account. How can I update my phone to load the new and correct account?

My iCloud account name was inputted incorrectly during initial phone set up. I created another iCloud account name but it is still the old and wrong iCloud account that automatically loads whenever I access the iCloud tab on my phone. How do I replace it my new and correct account name?

She won't after the change.

Other than that each of you should use your own Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game Center, etc.

When opening a new window, it automatically loads last pop-up (?) content and I am unable to type in address bar or open a new tab in the new window.

I don't know if they're technically pop-up windows (for example, if you do a search on kayak.com, it will automatically open a new priceline.com window with the results of the search), but this happens with pop-up blocker on or off. Other examples are a small info window from a financial or .edu site that opens up saying a session is about to expire, or answering an FAQ (with the exception of the priceline example, these windows don't have an address bar or display a URL). Anyway, after these windows are closed, if I try to open a new window, it will automatically load the content of that "pop-up". Whenever it does this, I am unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in that window.
How do I fix this? All I want is to open a new window that's blank, not load prior content.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
'''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.

Remove / unload external swf file(s) from the main flash file and load a new swf file and garbage collection from memory.

I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?
This is the error message(s) I am receiving: "TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.

Andrei1,
Thank you for the helpful advice. I made the changes as you suggested but I am receiving a #1009 error message even though my site is working the way I wan it to work. I would still like to fix the errors so that my site runs and error free. This is the error I am receiving:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
I'm sure this is not the best method to unload loaders and I am guessing this is why I am receiving the following error message.
     loader.unload();
     loader2.unload();
     loader3.unload();
I also tried creating a function to unload the loader but received the same error message and my portfolio swf was not showing at all.
     function killLoad():void{
     try { loader.close(); loader2.close; loader3.close;} catch (e:*) {}
     loader.unload(); loader2.unload(); loader3.unload();
I have a question regarding suggestion you made to set Mouse Event to "null". What does this do setting the MouseEvent do exactly? Also, since I've set the MouseEvent to null do I also have to set the loader to null? e.g.
---- Here is my updated code ----
// variable for external loaders
var loader:Loader;
var loader1:Loader;
var loader2:Loader;
var loader3:Loader;
// makes borders resize with browser size
function resizeHandler(event:Event):void {
// resizes portfolio page to center
     loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - loader.width) * .5;
     loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - loader.height) * .5;
// resizes about page to center
     loader3.x = (stage.stageWidth - 482) * .5 - 260;
     loader3.y = (stage.stageHeight - 492) * .5 - 140;
//adds gallery.swf to stage at begining of moviie
     Down();
//PORTFOLIO BUTTON
//adds eventlistner so that gallery.swf can be loaded
     MovieClip(root).nav.portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down, false, 0, true);
function Down(event:MouseEvent = null):void {
// re adds listener for contact.swf and about.swf
     MovieClip(root).nav.info.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down1, false, 0, true);
     MovieClip(root).nav.about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down3, false, 0, true);

     var requester:URLRequest=new URLRequest("carouselLoader.swf");
     loader = new Loader();
     loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioError);
     function ioError(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
     trace(event);

     this.addChild(loader);
     loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - 739) * .5;
     loader.y = (stage.stageHeight - 500) * .5;

Today I think firefox automatically installed a new version and after that it said my adobe flash was old so I had to update that. Now I can't open links in a new window.

Flash in Explorer doesn't automatically load

I have inserted a flash element onto the main page of a site I'm working on - it starts automatically in Foxfire, but not under Explorer (shows a blank window with an x). It will only start if I select the pop up warning bar at the top and allow scripts to run. Is there a work around for this in the code?
Obviously many other sites I look at automatically load the Flash elements. Strangely, when I did a site in Expression and included Flash, it was fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you've tried all the suggestions already given and it still doesn't work, then you are best to upload your pages and provide a URL, so people can take a look in case it's something in the code causing the issue :-)

How to add new font in flash CS5

Hi all! I've installed new font into system(if it's important OS is Windows Vista), but it was not added in flash(i.e I can't select a new font as a font of a text field). What should I do to make flash see new font?

Just restart flash application, you should be able to see the font.

Can user-defined styles load into new documents automatically?

Greetings.
I created a new style for a document. Is there any way to have that style automatically load into every new document I create by default? Or is the only option to import it every time I create a new document? I sure hope you can do the former!
Thanks in advance,
DPL

Create a new document from the template which you want to use as starting point.
Import the style from your other doc into the newly created one.
Save the new doc as a template.
Use this new template to create your doicuments.

HT201317 my photos on my iphone 5 used to automatically load onto my PC. I did not do the upgrade to my iphone because i don't like the new look. Could this be what is stopping the auto upload of the photos onto my photostream ?

Photos on my iphone 5 stopped automatically loading onto my PC. I have tried everything (i can think of) short of deleting the account because if you delete there is a warning..... all photos will be deleted..
So any thoughts ?? I have not updated to 7.0 but this auto upload photostream featured still worked well until the end of October.

Hi Edward,
You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.

Load new fonts

Hi everyone. I was just wondering if there's a way to make Photoshop recognize newly installed fonts. When I install a new font, I have to restart Photoshop several times before I'll see the new font(s) in the list. It seems like there must be a better way.
Thanks!

Now he tells me!
You never mentioned it was Arial Narrow, or I would have pointed you to this:

And now you know the rest of the story.
And how to fix it!

Accessing a non TTF/OTF font embedded in Flash CS5 SWF via Flex

Hello,
I'm trying to embed an older Mac font in a Flash Builder application. I need it to be loaded dymanically for size reasons. I am able to do this with TTF and OTF fonts, but I'm having trouble with other formats.
I embedded the font in a CS5 FLA, but I can't seem to locate the font when I load the SWF into Flash Builder.
My function is below. I have it enumerating through the variables in the loaded SWF, but the font I need is not coming up as one of them. I tried, in the FLA, to cast the embedded font to a Class in AS because, but when try to access that variable ("font") after it's loaded, I get null. I also tried setting the embedded font to a Font variable in AS, but I still get null on the other side. Does anyone have any suggestions? Alternate solutions are welcome also.. Thanks!!
        private function loadFonts():void{
            var lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
            lc.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
            lc.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
            var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
            ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
            ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
            ldr.load(new URLRequest('compatil_bold.swf'),lc);
            function completeHandler(e:Event):void{
                fontLibrary = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition('Compatil') as Class;
                var varList:XMLList = flash.utils.describeType(fontLibrary)..variable;
                for (var i:int = 0; i < varList.length(); i++){
                    trace(varList[i].@name+': '+fontLibrary[varList[i].@name]);
                Font.registerFont(fontLibrary.font);
                //Font.registerFont(fontLibrary.CompatilFactBold);
                trace('font loaded');
                fontsLoaded = true;
            function ioErrorHandler(e:ErrorEvent):void{
                trace(e.text);
in FLA
var font:Class = new CompatilFactBold() as Class;

I got it!
Here is the embedded font in a CS5 FLA:
That's all you have to do in Flash.
Here's the function I have in my Flash Builder AS application:
private function loadFonts():void{
var lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
lc.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
lc.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
ldr.load(new URLRequest('http://some.other.domain/compatil_bold.swf'),lc);
function completeHandler(e:Event):void{
fontLibrary = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition('CompatilFactBold') as Class;
Font.registerFont(fontLibrary);
trace('font loaded');
fontsLoaded = true;
function ioErrorHandler(e:ErrorEvent):void{
trace(e.text);
Then you reference the font by its name when you want to use it. In this case: 'CompatilFact LT Bold.'
update: question is answered.
