Help: Embedding Japanese Fonts in Flash cs5 is actionscript

I have been trying to embed "小塚ゴシック Pro M" font via export for actionscript and I haven't had luck so far. I did the font.registration method but still no luck I had no problem doing this in CS3 and CS4 but CS5 must be different. Anybody got this to work?
TIA
Gerry

I got it. For those who might have the same question.
register font and use the name you used to export to actionscript like:
Font.registerFont(Font2);
to use, create a variable for the font:
var myFont = new Font2();
to apply:
urTextFormatvarhere.font = myFont.fontName;
I did this to apply alpha;
urTextFieldvarhere.embedFonts = true;
urTextFieldvarhere.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
Hope this helps!

Embedding and using external fonts in Flash CS5

I just upgraded to Flash CS5. Font embedding is entirely different than it was in CS4. I've been looking for examples online but none seem to show me a solution that matches what I need.
In the project I'm working on, code changes the font a text box uses based on region and language. To keep file size down I created separate swf files with the fonts embedded. That way I only download the font I need. The way I did this and the code I used in CS4 doesn't seem to work anymore. Can someone please point me to a tutorial on this.
Thanks

OK, maybe you can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Below is the code I'm using.
LOADING THE FONT
Font SWFs:
I'm trying something new with CS5. To create a swf with the font I need I'm creating a library symbol of the font with all the characters in it. Titled it "Verdana". I've also turned on Export for ActionScript and given the font a unique class name (VerdanaFont). Then of course publish the swf, name it Verdana.swf, and put it in the correct location. Does doing it this way automatically register the font?
The Loader code:
private function LoadFont()
var fontPath:String = "assets/fonts/Verdana.swf";
var fontLoader:Loader = new Loader();
fontLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, createTextBox);
fontLoader.load(new URLRequest(fontPath));
The TextBox code:
private function createTextBox()
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat;
tf.font = "Verdana";
tf.align = "left";
var textBox:TextField = new TextField;
textBox.embedFonts = true;
textBox.selectable = false;
textBox.htmlText = "This is test text";
textBox.setTextFormat(tf);
stage.addChild(textBox);

Problems embedding Japanese font

I'm having problems embedding the font Ryumin-light. It's a Japanese font that is not essential to my document but I'm placing a PDF file that uses the font. I get the message that it can't be embedded at preflight. I don't have the full version of the font and even though it is listed as free at Adobe the file is missing - http://www.adobe.com/jp/support/qa/ciddown.html The publisher won't accept the document with the errors so I don't know what to do next, I'm very new to Indesign.

To use the links on that page you must right-click/Control-Click the link and choose Save Link As...

Font embedding and Stylesheets in Flash CS5

I am working on my portfolio website in Flash. I have few text areas where I need to set CSS formatted text. Can someone point me on how to use the style sheets and embed my fonts, so that they show up properly everywhere?

Cannot view Japanese font inside flash player.

For example, on http://lyric.kget.jp/lyric/kq/qu/ , I cannot view the lyrics of the song inside the Adobe flash player, and all I see are just random symbols and letters. Is there any way to fix this? (I have just reinstalled the latest version of the Adobe flash player and it does not fix the problem.)

you posted this question 2 years ago so i don't know if u still need help.
awn, i had the same problem and i just learned how to solve it:
go to "Control Panel" -> select "Region & Language" -> select "Change display language" -> choose "Administrative" tab -> you should see the button "Change system locale...", just click and change to "Japanese (Japan).
it works for me so i hope it'll work for u too

Embedding device fonts in Flash Player 10

Hi guys, a new feature in Flash Player 10 is that you can use device fonts with anti-aliasing without having to embed all the characters in the swf. This is definitely a great feature when you deal with many languages. I found an example:
http://blog.joshbuhler.com/2008/05/20/anti-aliased-device-fonts-in-astro/
It works great if I specify the exporting for Flash Player 10. I just wonder why it shouldn't be working if I export it for 9, the actionscript is the same (I'm using flex sdk).
If exporting for 10 is mandatory, is there any risk to export an application written for flash player 9 as flash player 10 (and leaving 9 as minimum requirement) only because this feature?
Cheers, chr

Can someone help me troubleshoot font installation for CS5?

I have purchased fonts from the Adobe store. I have Windows 7 and am using Adobe CS5 in the cloud. I have gone through installation of the fonts through Windows and then copy/pasted the fonts into the Programs/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts Recommended (and Fonts Required) folders. My Adobe Illustrator still does not recognize them and tells me I have an unrecognizable font in my files. Please help.

Hi Mylenium,
I wish I could say that worked - they are still not visible / useable to me in the Adobe products. What else can I do to fix this?

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.

Flash CS5 dropping actionscript cuepoints

I've just upgraded from CS3 to CS5 and have discovered an annoying issue with cue points. When I open an existing FLA that has a movie with actionscript cuepoints and try to replace it with another movie (an updated version), Flash drops all my cue points and I have to re-enter them. Is there some way to prevent this?

The best way to preserve your cue points is to export the cue points to an xml file by clicking the "Export Cue Points" button located above the cue points. After you change sources to your new video, click the "Import ActionScript Cue Points" button and select the xml file you just exported.

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.

Embedded a korean font in Flash

Hello !!!
I would like to embedded a font thanks Flash CS3, in order to
get a .swf that handle the italic and bold korean font (is
possible, one that looks like lucida for the latin characters).
I’ve tried several that seemed to handle the korean but each
time I end with square characters when I test it :( Furthermore I
couldn’t find the fonts given in this post (
http://typophile.com/node/19036).
I also have corectly "embedded" the special characters on flash..
still not work !!!
Does somebody has an idea where I could find a character
table or directly which font use for korean or where to find .swf ?
Thanks a lot !!

I have created an English brochure for a client, and the same brochure was translated into German. Now I am being asked for a Korean version. Can someone provide some guidance on how best to proceed in Adobe Indesign CS5? I gather that I use Apple Gothic or another font... but it doesn't show up as Korean. Also, is Korean a vertically read font?
Korean is occasionally set vertically, but it's an extremely old-fashioned technique outside of a few limited areas - some ads, the spines of books, et cetera.
To be honest, I'd say "package your InDesign file and send it to a firm or freelancer that specializes in English to Korean translation, with experience in the subject matter of your brochure." It sounds like you are asking for automated machine translation within InDesign; ID has no such ability. There are ways to flow automated machine translations into ID documents, but you're most likely to find those tools in the hands of translation agencies anyways.
No matter where you get your translation done, I'd advise against you trying to typeset the Korean yourself - there are issues with Korean in English-language ID. Without some careful setup, ID will treat Korean characters as if they were Chinese, and will break Korean words in incorrect locations instead of at spaces.

Error Help: Flash CS5 Error initializing Java Runtime Environment...

Hi im on a Win 7 64bit system (Clean install), I just downloaded the Flash Pro CS5 trial today - however when I start the program I get the following message as soon as the UI pops up and prevents me from running AS3 code when compiling files:
Error initializing Java Runtime Environment. You may need to reinstall Flash.
All I did was run the program. I tired updating it (update worked but still got the message at start up), I tired installing and uninstalling it, I tried uninstalling and installing different versions of Java and various existing solutions.
Also I used Adobe's clean up Script for CS5.
Does anyone know the answer to eliminating the error message?

Well this is a very old post but this error appear again in CS5.5, then I think is helpful retake this post
In Flash CS5.5 the issue is solved editing the file:
"c:\Users\current user\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS5.5\en_US\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\jvm.ini"
and lowering the Xmx128m to 128, some times this must be rised to compile large applications with a huge amount of AS3, or to use some Flex 4.5 libs from Flash Professional
I hope this help to CS5.5 users.

Is it possible to Embed Youtube Widescreen windows full options on Flash CS5 AS2 Website?

Good Day
Does anyone know How to Embed a Youtube widescreen Video window on a Flash Website, i'm using Flash CS5 and ActionScript 2???!!
I've seen several video tutorials on youtube and other websites about this, but they only work with a window of 480px for 385px (4:3),
which doesn't allow the fullscreen option on the lower bar of the video, because the player still had a silver bar not a black one !!!!
This is the one i've been using!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfU5Hj3uKZ4
I would like to use a widescreen window (16:9; 16:10), like the ones youtube curently uses, 360p; 480p;720p, like in this case:

I would very much appreciate any help you can give me!!!
Thank you

There are two options here that I can think of..
1. Preinstall AIR on their machines, and use AIR files. That will work IF AIR is already installed. Flash projectors have no ability to control the file system in this way, but AIR does.
2. Use a Director projector. There are Director Xtras that can control the file system, and you can embed a SWF in Director. So you wouldn't have to recreate the SWF content, you'd only need to have Director and learn some basics about using SWF and making projectors.
That's all I can think of.

Loop then stop Flash CS3 vs Flash CS5

I recently upgraded from Flash CS3 to CS5. I'm creating a banner in Flash CS5 using ActionScript 2.0. I want it to loop 3 times then stop. I'm using the same code as I did in CS3. When I view it using Flash Player, its fine but my client is saying it loops continuously when they view it. Has the code changed since CS3? Here is the code I'm currently using:
ON FIRST FRAME I ENTERED:
var count;
if(!count){
count = 0;
THEN ON THE LAST FRAME I ENTERED:
count += 1;
if(count == 3){
stop();
I'm Action Script challenged, so please be specific. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello kglad,
Thanks for confirming that the script was fine. Seems like there was something wrong with the swf file, not the script. Thanks for ruling out the script as the problem source.
