Dynamic text and embedded font

Hi,
I'm new to Flash and AS3, and I'm having a problem when I do
the following: I create an empty dynamic text field in the
authoring environment, click "Embed...", and choose the character
sets that I want (I get the same results when I embed the entire
font). The first time I change the contents of the text field with
the command:
text_field.text = "string 1";
I get good results--the text appears in the correct font.
However, subsequent attempts to update the .text property fail with
no error message, and the field becomes blank.
If I remove the embedded font by clicking "Don't embed" in
the embedding dialog, then every time I update the field's .text
property, it displays correctly using a local machine font.
I've also tried embedding the font in the swf by creating a
dynamic text field in the authoring environment, into which I place
no text, creating a second, functional text field in actionscript,
formatting it, using the "embed = true" property, and repeatedly
updating the .text property with the same bad results as described
above.
I haven't tried using the [embed] metatag to dynamically load
the font.
I've tested the swf in IE7 and Firefox on two machines with
the same results. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Dave

Okay, here's more information. The font that I've been trying
to embed is Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. If I embed a different font,
like Bitstream Vera Sans, I have no problem. It seems to me that it
must be that my Bitstream Vera Sans Mono is corrupted, my .fla and
.swf files are corrupted, or there's a bug in flash...

Rotating text without embedding fonts - how?

No doubt same or similar question was asked and most likely answered but I could not
find anything that would match...
I want to draw column headers of my ADG vertically. So, I need rotate column text 90 degree
and adjust position.
Is it true that it can be achieved with embedded font only? If it is true how can it be done for
Unicode code, which includes ranges for Japanese, Chinese, etc characters. The size of
swf is going to be huge. Several sites like this
http://www.forestandthetrees.com/2009/06/29/rotating-text-without-embedding-fonts/
claims that they have a solution for the problem without embedding fonts.
Note: I am still using Flex 3.3 SDK with no TLF. By the way, do TLF libraries work with
3.3 SDK.?
Thanks in advance

Draw your text onto a bitmap image (or take an ImageSnapshot of a Label), then rotate the image.

AFEFontManager,TextLayoutFramework and embedded fonts

Should we not use AFEFontManager in conjunction with TextLayoutFramework and embedded fonts. I have a project that was using the compiler argument -managers=flash.fonts.AFEFontManager. I would embed fonts from a loaded swf, but the fonts would be of type "embedded" instead of "embeddedCFF". Since the type wasn't embeddedCFF, the font wouldn't display correctly.
I removed the -managers=flash.fonts.AFEFontManager argument and it works perfectly.
So, is there a different way to reference the AFEFontManager? Or perhaps it's not necessary to do so at all?
thanks.

I think this question needs to go to the flex forum, since it is more about AFEFontManager. "embedded" fonts work with TextField, "embeddedCFF" fonts work with TLF and flash.text.engine. It's possible there is a way for you do this with embeddedCFF, that is a question for the Flex group, they are the best source fr information about the compiler.
Thanks,

Gumbo text elements and embedded fonts

Hi again,
ok I found the solution. The first time, I searched in the "CSS Advanced Selectors" spec document for the solution and I found nothing about it. Then I had the "great" idea to look in the only right place which is of course "Text Primitives (TextBox, TextGraphic, and TextView)". There I found the hint about "DefineFont4" which, with some search, led me to the solution:
1. Add the new property "cff: true" in the "@font-face" css block
2. Set the property fontLookup="embeddedCFF" for the text element
et voilÃ !
I hope this will save somebody else some time!

OK,
I have given up messing with stylesheets, trying display:
block, inline, different ways of formatting the XML, messing with
XML.ignoreWhiteSpace, and XML.prettyPrinting etc.
I went down the route of encodeURI, using a RegExp to strip
out all tabs, linefeeds and carriage returns. This now gives
consistent results for all situations, even embedded and none
embedded fonts.
e.g.
_text:String = TEXT FROM XML, HTML TEXT etc
var st:String = encodeURI(_text);
var pattern:RegExp = /(%09)+|(%0A)+|(%0D)+/g;
st = st.replace(pattern, "");
st = decodeURI(st);
YOUTEXTFIELD.htmlText = st;
The <p> tags still behave as a <br/> tag, but you
can add an extra <br/> to simulate a paragraph.
Here is the example again with the updates,
Hope this helps someone

Dynamic text and IE

I have a dynamic text area which is fed by the value of a
SharedObject.
This appears to work fine in FF, but in IE, the dynamic text
is rendered
very small.
Any ideas on why this is, and how to fix it?

Thanks - but why would the fonts be visible in Safari and
Firefox, for example, and not in that version of IE?

Dynamic text and animated masking problem?

Hi
Can anyone suggest to me what might be happening here. I will
try and explain step by step... I am using flash MX
I have dynamically created a movieclip which I want to mask -
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovie", 1);
I dynamically add a movieclip into it which I then load a jpg
into -
_root.myMovie.createEmptyMovieClip("image1", 0);
_root.myMovie.image1.createEmptyMovieClip("newFile", 0);
_root.myMovie.image1.newFile.loadMovie("http:...");
I dynamically create another movieclip called myNormalText1
insde the first movie -
_root.myMovie.createEmptyMovieClip("myNormalText1", 2);
this holds a dynamically created text box called mytext -
_root.myMovie.myNormalText1.createTextField("mytext",1,0,0,0,10);
// the text box formating is dynamic, uses devise fonts,
arial and is red ect.
I have then attach a movieclip and use it as a mask to create
a transition effect over _root.myMovie (which holds the image and
text)
_root.attachMovie("mask","mask",5);
_root.myMovie.setMask("mask");
the mask movieclip is what is causing me the problem!!!
method one
when the mask movieclip contains this -
a phisically drawn box that fills the whole page
I use a shape tween to make the box transform into a thin
rectangle down the left hand side of the screen
I get a transition effect which makes _root.mymovie disapear
to the left which is what I want!
The image and text are masked correctly!
*** Please note I am aware that dynamic text boxes using
devise fonts are not displayed correctly under a mask layor when
they are not embeded, in flash MX. I am able to view my movie in a
browser window which uses flash player 8 that now allows dynamic
devise fonts to be masked!
method two
I then wanted to create a different transition effect like
venitian blinds,
so, in my mask movieclip I created several rectangles that
fill the page
again I used a shape tween so they get thinner,
when I tested my movie the same way in the browser,
the mask did not work correctly over my text in
_root.mymovie???
yet the image in _root.mymovie was masked correctly???
the only differance between the two methods is the shape
tween in method one uses one box shape, and the shape tween in
method two uses several rectangler box shapes.
I was wondering if anyone knows why the text is correctly
masked in case one and is not correctly masked in case 2
I want to do other transition effects using masks in this way
and I am having no luck :-(
Thanks for any advice

Hi
I have been researching this ALOT and found some info that
basically tells me when I use setMask() over dynamic device fonts,
the mask uses its bounding box (the rectangular outside edge of the
whole mask movieclip) as the mask.
In case 1 the mask moviclips bounding box shrinks when the
shape tween plays because there is one rectangular box being
tweened. It appears to mask the text correctly.
In case 2 I have variouse different shape tweens going on
inside the mask movieclip so the bounding box stays the same size
across the whole screen and it wont appear to mask my text
correctly.
I think I have answered my own question, but this still
leaves me stuck! I want to create this venitian blind effect using
masks over devise fonts.
I came up with the idea of using for example 4 different
masks over the one movieclip but again flash doesnt like this and I
guess I can only use one setMask() per movieclip?
Can anyone suggest a way I can use multiple dynamically
created masks on one movieclip or cant it be done?
Thanks

Issue with visibiliy of dynamic text and hyperlinks

Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've build a Flash site and a I'm finding a out a lot has changed.
I'm building a simple site with some pictures, text and the 5 last posts from Twitter.
This last one is not working out that well.
First of all:
The outputed data from Twitter is displayed into a dynamic text field which is working fine when I test the movie in Flash, but as soon as I upload it to my server the text is not visible.
Flash already told me that I need to enclose my font in the movie (that's new for me) and I did that using the button in the properties windows.
But it still won't work.
I recreated the Twitter reader in a empty document to isolate it from my website during the troubleshooting.
Here's the AS I'm using:
var loadXML:XML = new XML();
    loadXML.ignoreWhite = true;
    loadXML.onLoad = processXML;
    loadXML.load("twitter.php"); //used when swf in placed on server
    loadXML.load("");
    function processXML(loaded:Boolean)
        if(loaded)
            var node = this.firstChild;
            tweet_1.text = node.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild;
            tweet_2.text = node.childNodes[1].childNodes[2].firstChild;
            tweet_3.text = node.childNodes[2].childNodes[2].firstChild;
            tweet_4.text = node.childNodes[3].childNodes[2].firstChild;
            var follower_count = node.childNodes[9].childNodes[11].childNodes[9].firstChild;// Creates variable
            trace(follower_count); //loads variable into output
            follower_count_txt.text = follower_count;// show follower count in text box
        else
            error_txt.text = "Error loading XML file";
                    for (i=0; i<follower_count; i++)
                        _root.attachMovie("tweep_mc", "tweep"+i+"_mc", i);
                        _root["tweep"+i+"_mc"]._x = 150 + random(500);
                        _root["tweep"+i+"_mc"]._y = 150 + random(500);
                        trace(i);
                    trace(i);
    follow_btn.onRelease = function()
        getURL("");
facebook_btn.onRelease = function()
        getURL("");
stop();
Right here you can see the output of it on the server.
The second issue:
The items posted to Twitter will simply always contain pictures which Twitter posts as hyperlinks.
Is there a way to make those hyperlinks function in my dynamic text field?
Hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks in advance!!
Karim

Ok.. After some resarch I find out the guy who created this made use of the Twitter API.. Since I don't know how to do that and
can't find straight answers that's not an option for me...
Althought...
What I forgot to mention in the first post:
This is what the beginning of actionscript is actually looking like right now and why it is working offline:
var loadXML:XML = new XML();
    loadXML.ignoreWhite = true;
    loadXML.onLoad = processXML;
    loadXML.load("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=karimbizid2");
I'm getting the data direct from the Twitter server.
This procedure does'nt neceserly need a PHP file to store the XML, right?
I'm guessing it's just a visual issue why the text isn't showing.

Dynamic Text and changing Text in AS3

I have a Dynamic Text box in my Library. I drag it to my main stage and give it a name..it is now a movieclip. The name is 'mcAdmin'. I added an event listener for MOUSE_OVER. I want the text to change color, but for now I'm just trying to change the text; however, it's not displaying the change in text I want. I do a trace, and the change is in there on the output window, but it is not displayed as such. How can I :
1) use AS3 to change the font color of the text
2) use AS3 to change the text and have it display?
function onMouseOver_txtAdmin(e:MouseEvent):void
Mouse.cursor="button";
//Current mcAdmin text is 'Administration'
//I want to change the color of Administartion on Mouse_Over
//but to test if I can get to anything, I'm just trying to change the text.
mcAdmin.text="Hello";
trace(mcAdmin.text);
mcPPMB.alpha=.5;
mcASB.alpha=.5;
mcISO.alpha=.5;
mcEA.alpha=.5;
mcAdmin.alpha=1;
mcAdmin.scaleX=1.25;
mcAdmin.scaleY=1.25;
Thanks.

1st
give the textfield a name, if it hasn't already (sounds like you put it in a movieclip).
to change the text set the text property of your text field
like this
myTextField_txt.text = "here is the text";
or if it is inside a movieclip
myClip_mc.myTextField_txt.text = "here is the text";
To change the color you would need to put a TextFormat on it. To keep the same fontsize, font etc. you could first get the TextFormat from your existing Textfield, change the color of the TextFormat and set it on the TextField.
// get the Textformat of the first character
            var TF:TextFormat = myTextField.getTextFormat(0,1)
// set the font color
            TF.color = 0xff0000;
// put it on the whole text
            myTextField.setTextFormat(TF)

Dynamic Text and Masking

I have Dynamic Text in a Movie Clip on the timeline. Text
shows up just fine without Mask. When I add a Mask Layer to the
Movie Clip the Dynamic text dissapears. Can anyone shed some light
why?
Thanks

check out
this
forum discussion on the subject of masking dynamic text.
the quick and short of it is, you need to embed the font in
the dynamic text to mask it.

Flex and embedded fonts

Hi everyone, I have an application that embeds some fonts with an XML configuration file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<flex-config>
     <compiler>
         <fonts>
             <local-font-paths>
                 <path-element>C:/windows/Fonts/Arial</path-element>
             </local-font-paths>
         </fonts>
     </compiler>
</flex-config>
I use these fonts with a css like this:
@font-face
     fontFamily: arialEmbeddedFont;
     src: local("Arial");
     embed-as-cff:true;
.teamName
     color:#FFFFFF;
     font-size:10px;
     horizontal-align:center;
     text-align:center;
     font-family:arialEmbeddedFont;
My application shows a popup window when there's a specific event (like a new friends connected in nomal chat softwares). When I try to raise an event with this popup window, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.managers::WindowedSystemManager@8e04971 to flashx.textLayout.compose.ISWFContext.
I searched on the net but I found only another programmer with the same problem and, unfortunately, no solutions... can somebody help me?
Thanks!

Dynamic Text and Captivate

Running with Flash Pro CS 6 and Captivate 5.5.
I have a Captivate project with an embedded UI created with Flash. I want a text field (called Titled ) in Captivate to be accessed and displayed within the Flash UI. The text field will be different on each Cap slide, so the Flash UI should read it each time a new slide begins.
Reading on the net shows that Dynamic Text should do it, but there are no useable examples to draw upon for inspiration.
Can anyone out there inspire me?
Thanks.

I don't know how much help it will be but you should check
out
this
link to a page at Paul Dewhurst's web-site "RaisingAimee". You
may not be able to get to that page until you register as a user on
Paul's site. If you run into that, register, then try the link
again.
If this is any help to you, drop a few pieces-of-eight in
Paul's PayPal account, and maybe send him a personal "thank you" on
his Shout Box. If it doesn't work, it might be because those
particular FLAs were created for version 1, as I remember, and may
be to some extent version-specific. In any case, it might be worth
a try.

Correct dimensions for a text with embedded font

Can someone please tell me how can I find the width, height and lineHeight for a text that is inside a RichEditableText component if I'm useing embedded fonts as cff?
I have a font that has big loops on letters like f,j,g. I
tried to get the infos from the richEditableText and richEditableText.textFlow. I even tried to compute the height of the text line by line with textFlow.flowComposer.getLineAt(i).height. But none of this got me a value big enought to cover the loops too.

Might be an issue with the font. Try checking each of the children in the RichEditableText. Some of them should be TextLines. See what they report.

Link and embedded fonts

Hi,
I'm using this to set the general format of my text flow:
<TextFlow xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008' fontSize='16' textIndent='0' paragraphSpaceAfter='0' paddingTop='5' paddingLeft='0' paddingRight='0' lineHeight='100%' fontFamily='RockwellCFF'>
<TextLayoutFormat color='#ff0000' id='hoverOverBrand' />
<TextLayoutFormat color='#00ff00' id='mouseDownOverBrand' textDecoration='underline' />
<TextLayoutFormat color='#0000ff' id='defaultLinkBrand'/>
<TextLayoutFormat color='#0000ff' id='hoverOverEmail'/>
<TextLayoutFormat color='#0000ff' id='mouseDownOverEmail' lineThrough='true' />
I'm also loading some embedded fonts, that's working ok.
When I apply a link to the current selection, I use this code:
IEditManager( textFlow.interactionManager ).applyLink( url, linkTarget, false);
The problem I have is that when the link is applied, the selection looses it's font family value and there is no way to re-format it again.
is it possible to declare a CFF setting in the "defaultLinkBrand" so all links keep the original font family?
any ideas will be appreciated.

Seems to work for me. Attached is a complete example that I can build and run. The dump methods show what fonts are actually used. I don't have RockwellCFF so I used a different font. If you could modify this example until its broken and pass it back we'd be in a much better position to figure out where the issue is.
http://drop.io/oscar7878/asset/oscar7878-as
(not sure how to attach a file here - let me know if this doesn't work)
This is the output I get (I removed the clusters dump as that's not interesting). It shows that the embedded font was used - it appears to be visually the case as well.

Rotate Dynamic text and make dynamic text go vertical

Hello
I am working on a visual customizer flash app in actionscript 2.0. Looking for good tutorials or examples of how to rotate dynamic text as well as how to make it vertical. Currently all the dynamic embedded text changes colors and size.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

distribute each character to a textfield and arrange the textfields to suit your needs.

Dynamic Text and color changes......

In some cheap website creating software I have you can turn
text into rich text and change the color of individual words inside
the same text box full of text. Is there anyway to do that in flash
CS3?

Thanks clbeech I actually found an easy way to do it. For
your dynamic text box you can click the "html" box in the
properties window for that text box. (Its a little square box with
this <> inside it and its just to the right of the singleline
and multiline box drop down.) You can then select the text you want
to edit inside the text box and change its font/size/color as well
as turn it into a dynamic link and it will do so without affecting
the rest of the text in your text box.
