Flash animation in Captivate - Embedded fonts not displaying.

I'm in Captivate 5 creating a lesson, I have made a simple animation in Flash 5 that contains one word in the animation. I output it from Flash to a .swf. Before I output it I set the font (Arial) to embed. It previews fine, when I view the small library review animation in C5 it appears fine. When I F10 to preview the slides, the font has reverted to a default system font. Any idea why the embedded font would not display properly when I do a 5 slide preview in Captivate?
Best, Steve

Embedded fonts not displaying when building project via mxmlc

I have a flex 3 project and I'm trying to upgrade it to flex 4.6 sdk. I have a number of embedded fonts in my application. These display fine when I build via Eclipse/Flash builder. When I build using mxmlc the embedded fonts are not being used. I build the fonts in the same way for both so I am assuming there is some compiler option which I am missing, or which I have that is causing the problem. I've tried every compiler option I can think of and now I'm at a dead end...
<target name="compile" depends="getswcs, compilemodules">
     <echo message="mxmlc=${mxmlc}"/>
     <echo message="flex.lib.dir=${flex.lib.dir}"/>
     <echo message="flex.extlib.dir=${flex.extlib.dir}"/>
     <echo message="flex.locale=${flex.locale}"/>
     <echo message="flex.locale.dir=${flex.locale.dir}"/>
     <exec executable="${mxmlc}" dir="${basedir}" failonerror="true">
          <arg line="'src/${main}'" />
          <arg line="-o 'bin/${component.lowercase.name}.swf'" />
          <arg line="-l+='${flex.lib.dir}'" />
          <arg line="-sp src" /> <arg line="-accessible" />
          <arg line="-strict" />
          <arg line="-el '${flex.extlib.dir}'" />
          <arg line="-compatibility-version=3.0.0" />
          <arg line="-target-player '11.1'" />
          <arg line="-include-libraries+=lib" />
          <arg line="-locale ${flex.locale}" />
          <arg line="-l+='${flex.locale.dir}'" />
     </exec>
</target>
The compileModules builds my fonts, for example:
<exec executable="${mxmlc}" dir="${basedir}" failonerror="true">
     <arg line="fonts/OCRAEXT.as" />
     <arg line="-static-link-runtime-shared-libraries" />
     <arg line="-o bin/lib/OCRAEXT.swf" />
</exec>`
as file:
public class OCRAEXT extends Sprite {
     [Embed(source='OCRAEXT.TTF', fontName='_OCRAEXT', embedAsCFF='false', unicodeRange='U+0030-U+0039,U+002E,U+002F,U+20AC')]
public static var font:Class; }
I don't think there's an issue here, since the fonts are already built via my compileModules before building the application in Eclipse, where the fonts display correctly.

Try comparing SWF sizes and link-reports.

Embedded fonts not displaying Correctly

I have exported a 100+ page document from InDesign CS5.5 All fonts not in the system fonts are displaying as Minion Pro.
The fonts are listed as embedded (subset) and the fonts allow for embedding.
View the original discussion as necessary in InDesign forum, http://forums.adobe.com/message/4126902#4126902
The incorrect display seen in Reader 8.3 and AA Pro 9.4.7
I have toggled Use Local Fonts without change.

I'm not doing anything to scale the movieClip. I press CMD and enter and thats what comes out. When I CMD + I zoom in and thats the second picture.
Regarding font embedding, I've enabled linkage and created a new class of it in my AS3 class file. Is there anything else I should do?
Oh..may be worth mentioning, all the text is actually Label components.

Embedded fonts not displaying in Preview.app

I occasionally get PDF documents with embedded fonts in them. They look fine in Adobe Acrobat, but opening them in Preview.app makes the system fall back to some ugly default font.
I keep a copy of Acrobat reader laying around pretty much only so I can open these files. This behavior is consistent across computers and has been occurring on OSX for ages. I can provide an example PDF is anyone who knows about these things would like to take a look at it.
Any thoughts on the matter?

Embedded font not displaying correctly in swf

I've attached 2 screenshots. The first shows the flash stage at its default size - as you can see my font is all distorted and weird looking but when you zoom in (image 2) it's exactly like it should be. What would make it look like this when the stage hasn't been zoomed out or anything, it's just from pressing cmd and enter from flash?
I embedded it by putting it into the fla's library

Flash Animation: Font Not Displaying Correctly

Hi all!
I am having a problem with a Flash animation in Captivate that seems like it should be an easy fix, but I can't seem to figure it out.
I have a very simple Flash animation that I developed in CS5. It previews in Flash perfectly, play correctly in Flash Player, but when I insert it into Captivate 4 the fonts do not display correctly. Capital letters are missing as well as other letters.
It's not a matter of AS2 vs. AS3 as I have already tested that. It also is not a frame rate or version issue as I have confirmed they are the same rates and the same version.
Can anyone shed any light? Anyone else had this same problem? Any guidance or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Daniel

Hi dmendoza2,
Did you embed your fonts into the flash animation? Make sure all characters necessary are embedded.

Flash animations in Captivate look choppy

I am using Flash animations in Captivate 3. The animations
are published to Flash Player 6 before being embedded in Captivate.
The Captivate project is in turn published to Flash Player 9.
The animations look good in the published Captivate SWF when
I run the SWF directly in Flash Player. However, if I run the SWF
in a browser (I tried both IE & Firefox, having Flash Player
9.0.45.0), the animations look very choppy and slow. What could be
the reason?
Regards,
Mohsin

Kevin & Rick,
Thanks for your responses. I diagnosed the problem. It did
not have anything to do with frame rates.
What was actually happening is that my Captivate SWF was
1024x768 originally, but when opening it in an HTML, I was NOT
loading it at 100% of its size. Instead, I was loading it at
880x660 in the OBJECT tag of my HTML, which was causing the issue.
Even when I would open the SWF directly using IE, IE would resize
the content in order to display it completely, thereby causing the
animations playing within to rescale. This, somehow, made them look
choppy.
Cheers!
Mohsin

Flash objects (images/buttons/etc) does not display on some PC's

I am trying to deploy an out of the box web application called the Mid-Tier, where some forms/pages in the application have embedded flash images/buttons/icons that do not display on IE despite the fact that there is Flash installed on these PC's. Most of the PC's are XP.
I suspect it is some of the security settings in IE. Unfortunately security options are disabled to end users so I cannot even get to see what these settings are..
This web application works perfect on some test PC's that have default browser settings and the same flash version installed.
The flash objects appear on these screens as white boxes instead of some control buttons and icons that should have been displayed.,. Hence these pages are non functional.
Any hints?
Joe

Hello David,
except the latest Flash Player you have also and the latest Java installed (Next Generation Java Plug-in 10.25.2 for Mozilla browsers) , check if you activate the plugins : [https://support.mozilla.org/el/kb/troubleshoot-issues-with-plugins-fix-problems#w_determining-if-a-plugin-is-the-problem Determining if a plugin is the problem], select always active.

you said : ''One guy said you could fix it by going Tools > options > content > make sure Automatically load images is checked (but there is no such thing on that tab in my Firefox????)''
not exist any more from 23.0 version and above (see : http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/releasenotes/) because of this : http://limi.net/checkboxes-that-kill , if you 1 (as a value) in '''permissions.default.image''' in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] you are OK (checked[v]).
also many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.

Font not displaying on Reports Output (RHEL 5) for 10g

Hi, I know I've posted a question in the past about a font not displaying on Report Output for my Arial, Arial Narrow, and Courier New fonts. I worked with Oracle Support and found that Metalink Note#261879.1 fixed my problem with those 3 fonts. I ran the scripts and now that part works great.
However, I have one font "ARIALUNI.TTF" that will not work. This is out specific barcode font we use. I've pushed it on Linux from my Windows by pushing it as a binary file to the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/TTF directory. I even put it in the directory for TTF on Metalink Notoe 261829.1 and let it create the files, but it still doesn't find it when I ran a report that uses this font.
I tried using font subsetting via the uiprint.ali and make a reference but it still doesn't seem to work.
Is there something I'm missing that would cause any of these not to work. I thought maybe some files had to be created under the guicommon/tk/admin/AFM file directory but I'm not sure.
I just want to have my 2 or 3 reports that use this barcode to work. Once I get them, I'm done and all my font issues are resolved. Any help is appreciated.
Chris

They are probably a very old Type 1 font. Try checking the dates on the font files. Your best bet would be to get the OpenType versions of those fonts and install them.

When importing a flash animation into captivate flash will not call external files

Is there a way to import flash into captivate and it still be able to call external files (ie. sound, video xml)? When I import flash into captivate it will not call any external file.

Hi all
Wow, I was so hoping fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst would pop in on this thread.
Why? Well, Paul sent me a way cool gizmo a while back that hacked the Info button. It used an external file for some of the information! So somehow Paul managed to sort what it took to insert a Flash object into Captivate and have that object extract data from an externally located file.
Cheers... Rick

Korean font not displaying correctly. Internationalization Issue

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is an internationalization issue but I have an Adobe Air project that isn't displaying Korean correctly. I basically have created a MovieClip in Flash CC with a textfield child. When this movieclip is instanced in Air, it's text is dynamically assigned from a web service. The font used works fine except for Korean so we had to switch fonts when using Korean text. This is where things get interesting. If I try to programmatically change the textformat.font to use the Korean font, the font switches but just the Korean characters aren't supported. However if I set the textfield's font to the Korean one in Flash CC, everything displays fine. The font is embedding the same in both instances and is including 'All' characters.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I have to add a flag for Korean support somewheres in the build settings. I've created work around for now which has two textfields, one with the font we need and one for korean only. As the data from the webservice is parsed it detects for Korean characters in the string and if it finds them it makes sure the Korean textfield is used. Kind of a dirty way to do it but it doesn't seem to like changing the font family around.
Anyone else notice this?

It's the latest AIR 15 SDK with the Flex framework.swc and framework_fb.swf added for binding support
I overwrote the code since it was only a couple lines but here's what I was doing for the way that broke
var tf : TextFormate = this._sknPageShield.pageName.getTextFormat();
tf.font = "Arial Unicode MS";
this._sknPageShield.pageName.setTextFormat(tf);
The font changes because english characters showed up, however even though I click embed all fonts, korean characters do not display. I have to set the font on the textfield using the Flash CC tools and it works fine.

Embedded fonts not working in Air for ios

Google fonts not displaying correctly since updating to Firefox 31.0

Since updating to Firefox 31.0, the vast majority of Google / web fonts are not displaying correctly, including icons that are being replaced with random characters. When I view the Google web fonts page, only a few display correctly, the rest just default to a sans-serif font.
- I've tried running in safe mode with no add-ons enabled.
- I've tried disabling all add-ons then re-enabling one by one.
- I've checked the tickbox in the font settings for 'Allow pages to use their own fonts' is ticked
Any help appreciated, it's got quite frustrating now.
Thanks, Greg

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
*http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
*[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can check for problems with preferences.
You can check the <b>gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

PC static font not displaying correctly on Mac?

Hi,
I have a PC fiash file with static body text that is New Gothic font. The published swf looks great on the PC, though when testing on Mac, none of the text appears. I thought that with static text fields, the font is automatically embedded?
Can anyone offers any suggestions as to how I can get the font to display properly on a Mac?
Thanks,
Dan

Well there are probably people that know better than me. But I have a rule of not using any fonts that aren't standard fonts everywhere. (Arial, Courier New, and Times New Roman) If you don't already know, fonts are loaded on the local computer, (the user's computer) if they don't have the specific font you selected from all the fonts loaded on your computer, they won't see the work you did in the format you did it in, if at all.
So make your titles sexy and cool and break those apart so they look exactly how you want them, but unfortunately if your project is intended for the world wide web, you have to abide by web standards to ensure the majority of users can view it and this especially applies to text.
Hope this answers your question. I don't know if I'm telling you stuff you already know here, but like I said, others may know better.

Embedded font not appearing...

If you run the following code provided you have a MC on stage
with "ball" as instance name, the text appears as intended. However
if you uncomment the line that embeds the font, it does not display
at all. I have a Font symbol in my library with the same name as
you see in the Text Format object "Verdana" and it's been checked
for export for AS. Do I have to do something else? Is the order of
the code affecting the result?

I figured it out. I had set the alpha to 0. Dugh!
