Can I embed fonts of all Dynamic Text objects in a Flash file?

Hi there!
I'm fairly new to Flash, so please bear with me.
I have created a Flash file which will act as our company's standard presentation / portfolio of all previous projects. I've pretty much got it running the way I want, but I've just tried it on a few different computers and realised that the fonts aren't embedded. I've used our corporate font so it needs to look right. Having read the following documentation (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts&file=00000893.html) I now understand how to embed fonts for one dynamic text object at a time. However, I have a lot of different dynamic text objects in the file and I would dearly love to embed them all in one step! The same embedding options can be applied to just about all objects, as they're all the same size and font.
I hope someone can help me. If you are able to help please spell things out in simple steps!! I am aware that I probably haven't yet grasped a number of the basics of Flash.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

Static text doesn't need to be embeded. So I'm not sure what the problem you are having is. The page you linked to is for making an embedded font in your library that can then be exported for actionscript and used by code and style sheets. If you are following the instructions on the page you liked to you only need to do that once. Which shouldn't be too hard.
That is usually a different problem that having a bunch of different authortime created textfields that need to have characters embedded.
As far as I know your only hope to change a bunch of authortime/library items is using JSFL. So even if the thing I pointed to isn't exactly what you need you could keep googling a bit or use that as a template.
JSFL files are just text files so open it in note pad. Look for the line:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip")
and change it to this:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip" || it[i].itemType=="button")
Now it does buttons. You give up too easy.

I can't enter any value in the Text field, after loading flash files

Hi to all,
In my Java application, I'm using a text field and a panel to load flash files. I'm using JDIC 0.9.1 to load the flash files in the panel. The flash files are created by Flash CS4.
While running the application, I can't enter any value in the Text field, after minimize and maximize the application I can enter the values.
This problem happens after change the jre version from 1.6 to 1.7.
I'm getting the following exception while running the application.
org.jdesktop.jdic.init.JdicInitException: java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
at org.jdesktop.jdic.init.JdicManager.initBrowserNati ve(Unknown Source)
at org.jdesktop.jdic.browser.WebBrowser.<clinit>(Unkn own Source)
pls give me a solution.
Thanks in advance...:)

Iterate through all dynamic text variables

Hello,
I'd like to be able to iterate through all of the dynamic
text variables in my flash movie, and I'd like it so that if I add
new text to this movie, it will show up in the iteration.
Essentially, I want to do something like this:
for (i in _root) {
trace(i);
While this seems to print out all the variables in root, it
prints more than just the dynamic text variables, and also doesn't
iterate down through various objects to find the dynamic text
variable.
Is there any way I can accomplish this in action script?
Thanks!

Great! That code helps me a lot.
There are still two weird issues.
1) the test for tl[obj].text seems to always turn out to be
false. However, if I trace the value of text, I'll see the text.
Example:
trace(tl[obj].text); // This will display the value in the
text field
if (tl[obj].text) // This is always returning false.
Any ideas?
The 2nd issue might be more difficult - some of my text
objects don't appear until later in the movie (i.e. frame 10). It
sort of looks like this looping doesn't see objects that appear in
the future. Do I need to advance the frame 1 by 1 and repeat this
looping process until the text appears? Maybe instead I can always
have the text in the first frame, but have it be invisible or
something?

Can I embed fonts in exported Word docs in 09

As it says. Can I embed fonts in an exported DOC type document, in Pages 09, or 5.2 for that matter?
thanks

No, not in a Word document. If you export to PDF fonts will be embedded.

How do I embed multiple font outlines in dynamic text field

Can anyone tell me how I can embed multiple font outlines in
Flash MX so I can get smooth text in a dynamic
text frame? I want to use Regular, bold and italic in various
parts of the text.
I was using the Character button in the properties manager
and tried to include all Characters. That does not work.
In the Properties manager I can choose Bold and/or Italic.
But it becomes a universal setting that overrides my HTML tags in
my external txt file that I am importing. I dont want all my text
to be bold.
If I dont select them in the properties, however, Flash will
not embed the font that it needs.
Is there a different way to embed fonts other than under the
Character Tab?
I tried to import fonts to the library, but can not select
them.
Your help would really be appreciated.
Sincerely,
ggaarde

Use 2 different fonts in a dynamic text field with tf.htmlText?

i've got a dynamic text field on the screen and all of my
fonts embedded. is it possible to use 2 different fonts when
dynamically setting the fields text with the htmlText property?
i've tried the and the <textformat> tags and
neither work. I can set it once via a texformat object, but that's
it.
thanks

you're answering all of my questions today aren't you? :)
right, i think this will be hard since my data is all comming
from XML and i have no way to specifically set text ranges as
different fonts within a string.
i've told the developers to just use images for the special
characters.

Poor font quality in dynamic text?

Does anyone notice that, for a dynamic text field, the font
quality changes with font size?!?!!
It will consistently become
suddenly bolder at certain font size!
It happens on various fonts!
Refering to the following screenshots:
http://www.terrencetee.com/general/font/1.JPG
http://www.terrencetee.com/general/font/3.JPG
It will only not happen if font is embedded...but due to file
size this is often not possible!
Is this a flash bug/limitation? THanks.
p/s:
I have checked it also shows the same problems on flash
player 10.
Any help will be appreciated.!

As you say that is because you didn't embed the font. If you
want good fonts then you need to do that. Problem solved.

Font Properties- Hypertext/Dynamic Text Fields

Is there any way to create font properties of text when using
hyptertext code in dynamic text fields?

you can create textformat objects and apply them to
textfields and you can use css with html-enabled textfields.

All dynamic text links going to same link even though URLs differ

Hi,
I just made a flash news scroller where the news headlines are dynamic text and have different urls provided in the link section. But when I click on any of them, they all go to the first link only. Am I supposed to set something here to stop it from doing so?
Any help appreciated.

Ok, I figured out why all the links are going to the same page. Well all the other links are under the first headline, which I am making transparent for the others to appear, but not removing from the stage. Hence even though the first headline is not visible, it is still the top link on the screen, causing everything to go there.
Any suggestions on how I can make it appear below the newly visible headline?? They are all arranged one below the other.

Can I embed fonts in a pdf document?

I wish to publish a Pages document and to do this I need to convert it to pdf and ensure that my fonts can be embedded into the pdf document. I am not sure how to proceed. How do you embed fonts in PDF from Pages 4.1?

Preview does a nice job of embedding fonts. You can open a pdf with non-embedded fonts in Preview and then print->save as pdf creates one with fonts embedded. I had seen this in MacOSX Hints originally and it works for me.
For seeing what fonts are embedded (or not), pdffonts is a very nice utility, which i think now comes with poppler, or you can build from their git.

Can 6i Embed Fonts in PDF?

Is it possible to embed fonts into the PDF outputs created with reports 6i? If so, where is there information on how to do this for 6i?
Thanks,
Kurz

As you say, you cannot generate a PDF directly with the embedded font, but I discovered a trick:
Use the IX library config file to embed the font in the postscript output when reports runs, then convert the postscript into PDF with an embed fonts parameter to ps2pdf or ghostscript:
ps2pdf -dEmbedAllFonts=true reports_output.ps
This will create a PDF with the embeded font, and with the IX library, you can use TTF fonts.
Can this command be executed somehow automatically by pasta or IX after the report finishes?

Load dynamic text into Captivate form external file

Is it possible to load dynamic text into a Captivate file from an external file like an XML using Javascript.
I see there's a way to get it form the query scring of the URL ( http://captivatedev.com/2011/05/01/how-to-jump-to-a-specific-slide-in-a-separate-course/ ), but I have a project where I want several pieces of text to be replaced and we want to be able to edit it externally from the Captivate file.
Thanks!

Hi Ned,
What I'm doing is using a yahoo map to load addresses and
place custom swf files as the placemarkers. The main stage has an
instance of myMap, which is the map that yahoo sets us to display
the ACTUAL map. They have also provided coding for placing markers
on the map, which is what I'm using.
I have the addresses throughout multiple xml files, which I
am actually loading through 1 single xml file. These addresses are
being stored in an array, then called by the AS below to place
markers. All the markers are placed correctly, however, I am trying
to have them actually say the address - this is where the problem
lies.
The marker that is being located and placed has a text field
called load_text in it. I want that field to load the same address
that is being used to place it (from the array addressA).
I'm very confused because every loop through the * for (i=0;
i<addressA.length; i++) * loop the marker is placed at the
correct addressA
location, but I cannot actually get the address to load into the
load_txt field in the marker. I can even run a trace during that
loop and it traces addressA for each address, but I can't seem
to actually load those values into the load_txt box.
Do you have any ideas?

How can I modify font size in selected text, using CS6 of Dreamweaver please?

For some unknown reason, I see that coding on some of my pages has the unwelcome or tags present in some places. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
para nuestros foros</TD>
I sometimes manually delete each such presence that I see, but it's tedious to do so. Nevertheless I don't see a feature on Dreamweaver CS6 that enables me to change selections', as opposed to entire pages', fonts and their corresponding sizes. Perhaps Dreamweaver's Modify feature has the desired option tucked away in there somewhere, but I haven't seen it. Any thoughts, please?

The code you are showing is all old deprecated stuff. DWCS6 would not write that. Is this old code that you are trying to update?
para nuestros foros</TD>
The , tags have been replaced by styling with css.
So your code might look like:
<td>para nuestros foros</td>
and the css (which goes in the <head></head> section of your page OR a linked css stylesheet) looks like:
<style>
td {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ccc;
</style>
If you just want to target a specific piece of text in a <td> table cell you can do this:
<td>para nuestros foros</td>
<style>
td span {
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #000;
</style>
Sounds to me like you need to read up on styling elements with css.

Can't change font properties on MyriadPro text

The touchup text tool requires me to change the font before to edit some text but this weird myriadPro won't let me change it.
The third and last message that pops tells me that "The change to a different font wan't done because the chosen font and the font encoding in the document differ and could not be resolved"
What could I do? Sender has told me the original document was "editable"...
Thanks,
Marc.

But is there a substitution font listed or is it using the encoded font (if so, it is embedded). You might try to select the text with the touchup text tool and see if you can find a compatible font with the same encoding to change the font to. If you are successful, you can then edit with the new font that you have selected.

Can I create a 2 column dynamic text field?

I'd like to have my text that is pulled in through an xml
document flow into two columns... does anyone know if this is
possible? searching around- all I could find was software that
would do this... I'd rather create it myself if possible.
Thanks.

You can do what you said, but I don't think what you want.
You can only have two partitions on your internal drive, one for OS X and 2nd for Windows.
You could have a 2nd external drive as your data drive.
If you want 3 partitions on your internal drive, you'll have to use Disk Utility and not BootCamp Assistant; or you'll need to look into how to setup a triple boot system.
You can make a large NTFS partition for Windows, and then take a slice out of that for data, trouble being that some things won't work properly.
If you are wanting to read and write to NTFS from OS X, then Paragaon has a NTFS drive version 6.5. And if you want to read/write HFS+ from Windows, then MacDrive7 can accomplish that.
You can't install and boot Windows from USB drives.
What you want to do is easy, with a system with multiple internal hard drives.
