Extract font from SWF

Is there any way to extract a font from an SWF? I don't need
to use the font for anything besides other Flash/SWF files, so
exporting to a system font file is not needed. I just need to be
able to re-use a font that is on SWF in other SWFs, when the font
is not installed on my system.
Why I need to do this is a very unique situation. As I said I
have an SWF that contains a font I need. This SWF is generated by a
3rd party application, so there's actually no FLA involved. This
particular font that is being embedded is actually derived from a
system font, but it is a new font. Specifically, it is modifying a
font on my machine to be super/subscripted, and embedding it as a
seperate font. I need that superscript/subscript modified font.
Thanks for any tips.

Urami,
Thanks, the problem is I don't have the ability to set up
shared assets from the source app. There's actually no FLA involved
here, it's generated by a third part application.
kglad,
Free mathematic fonts? That's sounds like just what I need...
I haven't found anything, though, can you tell me more? One issue
is that I can't really use Unicode characters(Microsoft San Serif
provides 1-0 and some other characters in sub/sup), because
otherwise it doesn't work cross platform in HTML
text(TextField.htmlText).
My end goal is to be able to take a string from an XML node
like this:
E=mc2
And have it work in a dynamic textfield. To do this, the best
solution I can think of is to make a sub/sup font face, and simply
find and replace and tags with 
tags, so the above would become:
E=-mc2
Kind of ugly in the sense that you have to embed multiple
font faces just to get sub/sup abilities, but nothing else I've
tried has made me happy either. This seems like the least evil I
can find thus far, untill the SWF format/Player supports dynamic
sub/sup.

How to extract fonts from OS X install DVD

Friends:
I often get the message when I open Keynote or Pages that some errors occurred and that the font "Helvetica" is missing. How can I get said font from my install DVD? I would install it using Font Books -> Add Fonts right?
The weird thing is also looking in Font Book, that Helvetica is there... but my main question is how to extract the fonts from the install DVD.
Thanks amigos, -Migs

Get Pacifist from versiontracker.com. Then, insert the Leopard DVD. Launch Pacifist. Click the appropriate button to extract from Install Disk. It will take a while to "open" the Install Disk. Search for what you want. Install it. The software puts it where it should go.

Extract Image from SWF

Is it possible to extract an image from your Flash
application? For example, if I had a simple interactive logo
designing SWF with a 'Save logo' button, could I implement some
functionality to save the current logo (a section of the visible
application) as an image file and store it on my server? How might
I achieve this?
Thanks in advance! Any help would be much appreciated.

You could use BitmapData to get the bitmap information from
the SWF. Then you could use Remoting of some sort (like amfphp) -
which now supports ByteArrays. With this you could communicate to
the server and save your bitmap data :) Or you could do it directly
with posting as shown with example/source here:

Dynamically load fonts from SWF files

Hello,
9. Add code to register the fonts you embedded when the FontSWF is Loaded.
import flash.text.Font;
/*You will use the name of the font that was embedded and DF4. For example, in the example below Arial Black was embedded. Notice that underscores are used. These are added to the font name when it is embedded to create the font class name. If you embedded something like Times New Roman, you would use Times_New_Roman_DF4.*/
Font.registerFont(Arial_Black_DF4);

How is a Japanese font?
example:

The following are the errors.
A-OTF_Shin_Go_Pro_M_DF4

Best regards,

Yes, you should be able to create an RSL that has a font in
it that can be used. See here for a tutorial on RSLs:

Loading font from external *.swf

So!
I have 3 movies.
1)Main movie - index.swf
2)Movie with created & checked in linkadge "Export for
runtime sharing" fonts in library - fonts.swf
3)movie with text fields which need embeded fonts to work in
a proper way. Fonts in the library checked in linkage as "import
for runtime sharing" - content.swf
What happens:
I strike CTRL+ENTER and run movie index.swf.
on the (for ex.) 10 frame it loads fonts.swf with
movieClipLoader class..
then in the same way on (for ex.) 100 frame, i load content
swf
BUT!!! before it starts loading process IT DOWNLOADS FONT.swf
again
SO HOW DO I PRELOAD fonts from external *.swf..
maybe there is yhe way without using runtime sharing..
but i've heard that loaded whith movieClipLoader movies don't
adds objects from their library to main movie liblary...
HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM!

can you give your erroe source code,and then i will give you the success code.
in the function
private function onLoadComplete(e:Event):void {}
ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.getDefinition("com.scottgmorgan.ExternalMovie") ;
use like this:
var EMClass:Class=loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition("com.scottgmorgan.ExternalMovie") ;
then you can new a instance :
var emInstance:Object=new EMClass();
emInstance.alert("hello word");
and we also can use other method. so email me [email protected]

Loading Fonts from diff domain

Hi - When I try to load fonts from a diff domain, it loads but when I call a font.regiserfont, it throws a AS error.
In the main application, this is what I do to load the fonts.
var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
loaderContext.checkPolicyFile = true;
var testFontloader:Loader = new Loader();
testFontloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, function(e:Event):void{
     var FontLibrary:Class = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("testFont") as Class;
     Font.registerFont(FontLibrary.font);
var testFontReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(model.serverLocation + ServiceURLConstants.ASSETS_PATH+"/embeddedFonts/testFont.swf");
testFontloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,CheckFontLoadComplete);
testFontloader.load(testFontReq,loaderContext);
And it throws an exception while it tries to register the font and it does not register it acutally. The main app is in code domain (domain1) and font swfs were placed in content domain (domain2)
Error is:
ArgumentError: Error #1508: The value specified for argument font is invalid.
     at flash.text::Font$/registerFont()
     at MethodInfo-778()
I tried wih diff options, as to set loaderContext.checkPolicyFile = false; but they did not bear any fruit.
This is the code to acualy embedd the font.
package
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.system.Security;
     import flash.text.Font;
     public class testFont extends Sprite
         Security.allowDomain("*");
         [Embed(source="/fonts/testFont.ttf", mimeType="application/x-font", fontName="testFont",
             unicodeRange="U+0020-U+007F,U+00A0-U+00A3,U+00A8-U+00AB,U+00AE,U+00B4,U+00B8,U+00BB,U+00B F-U+00CF,U+00D1-U+00D6,U+00D8-U+00DC,U+00DF-U+00EF,U+00F1-U+00F6,U+00F8-U+00FC,U+00FF,U+01 31,U+0152-U+0153,U+0178,U+02C6-U+02C7,U+02DA,U+02DC-U+02DD,U+2013-U+2014,U+2018-U+201A,U+2 01C-U+201E,U+2022,U+2026,U+2030,U+2039-U+203A,U+20AC,U+2122,U+FB01,U+FB02", embedAsCFF="true")]
         public static var font:Class;
Can someone guide me on what am I doing wrong? or is it possible at all to load and register fonts from a diff domain at all? Pls let me know if you need more info. Pls treat it as urgent!!

I have not tried it, but the principle should be that you load the SWF into
the same security domain which requires that you have a crossdomain.xml file
in the right place with the right permissions. You will probably not be
able to test your configuration from urls that begin with file://. You will
have to deploy to a server and fetch via http://.
BTW, did you prove it works from the same domain. I'm not sure INIT is the
right event to wait for. I'd wait for an ENTER_FRAME after COMPLETE.

Cannot extract fonts error message even after fonts outlined

will not allow me to attach screen shot from grab. Image not allowed is error message

Grab saves files to tif format, you need a web format (jpg, png, gif) to post to these format. Rather than grab use preview app.
preview application >> file >> take screen shot >> save as file type png
Now the cannot extract fonts error, could be fixed possibly by an illustrator free update, don't know the verison you are on
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=27&platform=Macintosh
Reset your illustrator your prefs.
Does this happen to all files, or is this just a certain file. You may have a font in a symbol or opacity mask.
Save a copy of the document, keep deleting items, unitl the error goes away. This will identify the problem item, of which we better help you by narrowing the variables down.
When fo you get thgsi error, upon opening the file?

Embeding Fonts from TTF File

Hi,
I had a very basic question on using Embeded Fonts in SWF files.
I have to use a Italic effect on a Arail Font text, for this should I use ARIAL.TTF and apply the italic effect on it or Should I go for ARIALI.TTF file?
What is the difference and which is the correct way of doing it?
I am acutally working on a PPT to SWF converter and I am not able to match the look at feel of the Italic or Bold fonts in PPT and SWF, any suggestions where I should look for help on understanding how fonts are used?

Hi Peter,
     Thanks for your reply.
     I did some experimentation and found that I can embed the Arail.ttf file and apply FontStyle=Italic property in my MXML tag and it shows me a italic form of Arail font. But when I try to use the same embeded font using FontRange and specify FontStyle = Italic in font range the italic font is not shown on the UI. Why is there a difference in MXML and Font Range ?
     I understand that I should use ARIALI.TTF file for Italic fonts but the problem is that it increases the size of my SWF. And even if somebody has used a italic style for couple of words it increases the size significantly. I want to avoid that.
     Can you tell me why FontStyle on normal Embede font work from MXML and not from FontRange?
-Saurabh.

When CC will deliver fonts from Typekit to my desktop?

Delivering fonts from Typekit to my desktop — one of the reasons I bought a subscription.
Since the the launch of CC, font and file sharing features deliver only one message "Comming soon".
When to expect these features to go live??

I'm sorry, but I do not agree with your reply Ben.
I signed up for Creative Cloud. I'm paying for that subscription. Included in that subscription, was typekit. I have read instructions, and watched Adobe.TV video's showing me how to access something - I don't have access to!
Now we are being asked to jump through hoops, sign up for "Early Access"... Beg to be considered from the first come first serve list, keep an eye on emails to see that I am lucky and have been chosen to have something I am ALREADY paying for...
EVEN WORSE!!! You are telling us, SELECTED users already have it!!
WHAT!!!!?
This is an extract from your website telling you what's included when you sign up
"Welcome to the Download Center!
Find all of the Adobe desktop applications, services and touch apps that are part of your Creative Cloud membership."
TYPEKIT is one of the items on that list.
Here is a reply from another of your own staff Liz:
1.Liz, Typekit Support,Oct 15, 2013 1:50 PM in reply to pearlyshell
Hi pearlyshell,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this! Syncing fonts to your desktop is available with a full Creative Cloud membership or a Portfolio, Performance, or Business Typekit plan.
Please advise that I/we will not have to endure weeks/months of waiting for something we are already paying for and not being allowed to use.
That's like delivering someone's new car minus the new audio system that was promised and adding vinegar to the wound by telling them it's okay because aother "SELECT" owners are currently enjoying theirs!

How to Extract fonts?

We have a client that gave us a Press PDF last year. He cannot find the originator of this ad. (It was a freebie and she moved away). He wants to make a change to a date. Can I extract the font from this file? I'd then turn the original pdf into a tiff, make the change, and save as a tif. Everything would then match.

Mike is correct; you cannot extract the fonts from a PDF. You can, like he said, find out what fonts were used by checking the document's properties under the "File" menu. You then make sure those fonts are active in your system, and if you have Acrobat Professional, you can make minor type corrections.
If you don't have the fonts and are unable to purchase them, you could also substitute the fonts with a different one.

Extract graphics from fla

Hi,
I have a load of FLA files with large libraries of vector graphics.
Is there a way of forcing Flash to create an export(jpg or swf)of all the graphics in a library without having to manually drag them onto the stage or into a scene before publishing or exporting them?
I'm thinking there might be an SDK or utility or something that can read fla files and export everything programmatically.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Paul.

Great thanks. Here's link to a decent example showing how to export images from an FLA library:

Unable to extract data from an AS/400 system.

Hello experts.
We are trying to extract data from an AS/400 system but not having any success until now.
I´ll write down you the stepts that we have followed until now:
1.- Create a DB Connect between both systems
2.- Create a Source System from AS400 in the workbench under DB Connect Directory
3.- Generate datasources from tebles specified in the schema of the connection
break point -
At this point, we had a problem with some tables with at least one fieldname containing character "Ñ".
After asking some possible solutions to SAP, the told us this is not supported, as the system can´t have any object with character "Ñ", so the transfer structure was unable to activate with this fields in the datasource.
--- end of brek point --
4.- After those issues, we´ve decided to implement, in another schema, views from those tables which had the fieldnames with that character "Ñ", changing them to an "N".
5.- We´ve created another source system with that schema, and user than can see that schema.
6.- To be able to see those views, in transaction RSDBC, we had to deactivate the two checkboxes in the first window ( Choose tables and Choose views) .
7.- Right afeter, we could generate correctly the datasources from this logical tables.
8.- We have designed the hole dataflow for this datasources and everithing went rigth.
9.- But wen we tried to execute the infopackage to extract data from those logic tables, we cannot get any registers. Acctualy the charge remains yellow after the job have finished.
Please, I would appreciate any help you could give us on this problem.
Thank you very much
Regards
Joaquin

I´d like ti add something to this thread, and maybe clarify a littel bit the question.
The only way that the BW system recognizes those logical tables, through transaction RSDBC is checking out the two boxes on this transaction, "Select Tables" and "Select Views".
I don´t know haw these logical tables have been created, bus does this mean that the are not neither tables or views as BW understand them.
Please, if someone knows anythin about this, answer to this thread.
Thank you very much.
