Subscripts/Special Glyphs in flash text

Does anyone know how to create subscripts within text or
insert Greek characters for mathematics equations? Using Flash MX
2004.
This is all adobe has:

Does anyone know a workaround that isn't inserting a graphic
file in place for the glyph that I need?

I'm not sure if this will help, but you could give it a try

Greek, macrons, and other special glyphs? Recommended substitutions?

I had been under the impression that most modern Adobe OpenType fonts had support for glyphs like α (U+03B1, GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA) and ā (U+0101, LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH MACRON), and that the few cases I had found were mostly outliers. Today I became aware that I was mostly wrong, and would appreciate it if someone could explain what the situation really is; I was surprised to learn how wrong I was.
Most of my thinking is in the context of machines running Mac OS X with Font Folio 11 installed/available, if that's pertinent.
Miguel clarified a while ago that the macron characters were "only supported in font families with the suffix Pro, such as Minion Pro." I had missed it when he said it, or I guess internalized it wrongly. So I guess that means the macron characters are mostly available in the 24 Pro faces: Adobe Caslon Pro, Adobe Garamond Pro, Adobe Jenson Pro, Arno Pro, Bickham Script Pro, Brioso Pro, Caflisch Script Pro, Calcite Pro, Chaparral Pro, Cronos Pro, Ex Ponto Pro, Garamond Premier Pro, Lithos Pro, Minion Pro, Myriad Pro, Sanvito Pro, Sava Pro, Silentium Pro, Tekton Pro, Trajan Pro, Voluta Script Pro, Warnock Pro, Waters Titling Pro, Web Type Pro,
OK, well…fine. Then the next problem was Greek letters. Those seem to be…much more difficult to find? (I would have thought the opposite.)
Is there some tool for searching for these glyphs within Adobe's fonts? The Type Reference Guide says "Complete glyph complement pdfs can be
viewed or downloaded from the Adobe web site at www.adobe.com/type," but I can't seem to find an easy way to get to them (I guess the Flash interface sort of works? Is there a better one?).
Our house style currently uses Adobe's Utopia Std and Univers LT Std. For text in Utopia, when hunting for these glyphs, I had usually been in the habit of finding the glyphs in Times New Roman, and not worrying about it. Today I realized that that's not Adobe's Times New Roman (kind of a rude awakening), it's actually Monotype:Times New Roman Regular:Version 3.05 (Microsoft). So then I installed Adobe's Times New Roman MT Std and Times LT Std families, but they don't have the glyphs either.
Is there a recommended Adobe font that has these glyphs that is appropriate to substitute for Utopia? For Univers?
Maybe the more general question is whether there is mapping of "What font should I look in to find somewhat similar-looking glyphs when Adobe fonts are missing glyphs"?
Looking through the Type Reference Guide.pdf (or the printed 3rd edition reference library) is frustrating. I suppose I probably want a font with the icon for "Greek monotonic" or maybe "Greek polytonic" , but those seem to be encoded as special glyphs that are tough to search for.
If I search for the word "Greek," it looks like my only choices are these 7: Arno Pro, Garamond Premiere Pro, Lithos Pro, Minion Pro, Myriad Pro, Universal Std, and Warnock Pro.
Is that right, or am I missing some?
is this situation likely to improve anytime soon? Am I better off finding non-Adobe sources for these glyphs?
Utopia is a Robert Slimbach Adobe original, so I guess there are no other sources.
Univers is from Linotype, but they don't seem to sell and variants with greek glyphs?
Maybe the answer is that the folks who picked our house style made bad decisions. Though I'm really not sure? Sorry this is so long. Any thoughts much-appreciated. Thanks.

Hi John,
Lots of questions. I'll try to address them as best I as can.
Is there some tool for searching for these glyphs within Adobe's fonts?
You can use the "Character Viewer" available in Mac OS X. The only requirement is that the font(s) need to be installed.
The Type Reference Guide says "Complete glyph complement pdfs can be viewed or downloaded from the Adobe web site at www.adobe.com/type," but I can't seem to find an easy way to get to them
Just go to any face page, e.g. Minion Pro Medium Subhead. There you'll find a link named Glyph Complement which will direct you to the PDF file.
Is there a recommended Adobe font that has these glyphs that is appropriate to substitute for Utopia?
No, not really. Kepler has a similar style, but it's also an Std family, not Pro, so it won't have the characters you need.
For Univers?
No. The closest would be Myriad as they're both sans-serif. But the styles are different: Univers is a (neo)grotesque while Myriad is a humanist.
If I search for the word "Greek," it looks like my only choices are these 7: Arno Pro, Garamond Premiere Pro, Lithos Pro, Minion Pro, Myriad Pro, Universal Std, and Warnock Pro. Is that right, or am I missing some?
There's also Hypatia Sans, Sava, and Adobe Text (the latter is currently only avaialble as a CS5 registration incentive). List of fonts containing Greek.
The number of choices seems small when compared to the total number of font families available in the library. But Adobe was actually one of the first foundries that started including Greek and Cyrillic characters in their fonts on a regular basis. When you look at the Adobe Originals list you start seeing the trend.
is this situation likely to improve anytime soon?
Yes. All our newest families are Pro and include Greek and Cyrillic -- that's basically our minimum now -- and there are updates to existing families in the pipeline. But this will still take some time to become available.
Utopia is a Robert Slimbach Adobe original, so I guess there are no other sources.
Adobe actually donated Utopia fonts to the community, and while there has been some derivative work that extended it to cover Vietnamese and Cyrillic, AFAIK no one as ever designed the Greek glyphs.
Univers is from Linotype, but they don't seem to sell and variants with greek glyphs?
I think you're right. But I see they have a font named Utah WGL that may suit your needs.

Android, backspace doesn't work properly in a flash.text.TextField

Hello,
I have a bug on my Nexus 5 Android 4.4 Air 4.0.
when I scroll the text in the textField and I select the text (in my example near "subclass" word), the TextField get focus, if I put on the backspace key, the character deleted is the previous character the first time, and if I put again on the backspace key, the caracter deleted is the first character and not the previous character.

You need URL Encoding not HTML tags in order to show special
characters from
your text file:
%26 for & and %3F for ?

Flash.text.engine.TypographicCase.CAPS_AND_SMALL_CAPS

In AS3, flash.text.engine.TypographicCase.CAPS_AND_SMALL_CAPS seems to not have the desired effect (Specifies that all lowercase characters use small-caps glyphs on output.). It only makes everything upper case. I've searched the forums and Google and my conclusion is that this is a bug in AS3. Can someone confirm that? If not a bug what is the trick? I am using the code prrovided by Adobe here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/text/engine/ElementFormat.html#typogra phicCase for class ElementFormatExample and I changed
ef1.typographicCase = flash.text.engine.TypographicCase.UPPERCASE;
to
ef1.typographicCase = flash.text.engine.TypographicCase.CAPS_AND_SMALL_CAPS;
also tried SMALL_CAPS with no luck.
What I need is to output the first letter as uppercase and larger than the rest of the letters in the words, and 2nd letter to end also in uppercase but smaller font size (the smal caps glyph).
Thanks.

Did you ever figure out a work-around or find out if this just isn't an option? I've tried applying my small-caps style every way I can possibly think of to no avail. If I take away the <cfdocument...> the HTML renders fine and even passes validation on W3C. I'm assuming that PDFs just don't support that style. I just wanted to see if you had any other info on this since I can't seem to find any other posts from users trying to do this.
Thanks!

Flash text and flash buttons in DW CS4

Hi,
I have installed DW CS4 on my pc with Vista Home Premium 64
Bit...I have edit my website homepage and I have discovered that I
can't edit all flash text and buttons that I have created with DW
CS3! I have see that the adobe has removed from CS4 version this
option! So, now how I can resolve this problem??
I have try to install also the CS3 version but I don't
understand because I can't no more activated it from internet or
phone option!
I'm very angry for this, now I have to recreate from the
begin all flash text and buttons of my website with other software?
perhaps to buy also the Flash CS4 version for the solution? is this
the new idea of adobe with their new CS4 version?

It was a poor choice on Adobe's part to ever include such an
option, and on
your part for using it. Think about it -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
Especially
consider those people who are browsing from a corporate
internet where Flash
is not allowed by the IT staff.
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will
not be
spidered unless you have redundant HTML links
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
You will have
to remake those buttons.
It's almost always a very bad idea for these reasons.
The solution is to make graphics to replace the Flash
elements, or just use
CSS styled text.

Missing Fonts in Flash Text List

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Windows XP computer. In the
"Insert Flash Text" dialog box, in the font drop down menu, I am
not seeing all of my installed fonts. I see a few OpenType and a
few True Type fonts, but more than half of my installed fonts are
not showing up in the list. I can see all my fonts in the "Edit
Font List" box for creating font families in Dreamweaver. So I know
parts of Dreamweaver can see all of my fonts.
I am totally stumped why some fonts aren't available for
flash text. Any suggestions? Thanks.

> If Flash Text is being dropped, what is going to replace
it, if anything?
What has always replaced it - images, or some image
replacement technique
like sIFR, or TIP.

or here -

was a requirement.
You mean you are taking a class from an Adobe Certified
Instructor, and
he/she is requiring that? Who is that? What a waste of class
time....

Flash text in DW MX

My site (redirect from www.johnbowlby.com) home page uses a
lot of DW flash text elements with links to other pages on the
site.
Lately, a white box outline appears around any of the Flash
text elements on the page. User has to click once to get the flash
element to show the rollover color and then again to activate link.
This is new. Previously (i.e. for 2 years) the Flash text has
changed color on rollover and gone to the assigned link on a single
click.
Can someone explain and help me stop this. Annoyong and looks
terrible.
Thanks

Actually, blame the Justice Department for terminal
boneheadedness.

Dreamweaver flash text

I tried to manually edit the code with wmode transparency
settings, but it's still not working. I'm using the Dreamweaver CS3
Flash Text tool to create vector clean text and would like
background to be transparent

I don't believe you can do that with the Flash text tool. You
would just need to match the color.
Also it would be a good idea to not get too used to using the
Flash Text tool as the function is deprecated and will be
discontinued in all future versions.

Flash Text not displaying certain fonts

Thanks as always…
I am trying to use Flash text for some headings, but after an
hour of pulling my hair out I've just realised it will only display
certain fonts, such as Helvetica etc.
I added the font I want to use to my font list but it still
does not display…
I'm using MX on OSX 10.3.9.
Any ideas? Thansk.

Is your text in a dynamic text box, or static text box in
flash?
I don't think the issue concerns the "true-type" or not
"true-type" font.
In Flash, when text is part of a dynamic text box (which I
assume is the case in your situation),
then the font works just like in an html page:
if the font is installed on the computer it will show, if
not, it won't. The way around this, is to
embed the font data in the authoring flash file, and link it
to the dynamic text box, via actionScript.
So if you cannot work on the authoring Flash file with Flash
MX or Flash8, and if indeed we're
talking about a dynamic text box, your only option is to use
a web-safe font.

Troubles saving flash text (or buttons) in CS3

I have been trying to build a banner in dreamweaver cs3 with
flash text, but i can neither save nor apply the text as i keep
getting the error message,
"text1.swf is an invalid file name. Please enter a different
name."
and i continue to get the message regardless of whatever name
(with or without the .swf extension) I use.
help????

It appears to be at least partly related to what I mentioned, if not entirely. If you look in the html code you will see the following line...
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Your web page utilizes this file (Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js) to display the Flash content provided you have javascript allowed for your web browser. So you need to create the same Scripts folder on the server and place the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in that folder.
Alternatively, you could place it in the same folder as your html file and just lose the folder reference in the line of code, the important thing is that the web page laods that js file....
<script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Unknown error when inserting Flash text [was: Error]

When I try to insert Flash text into a document, I keep getting an error message that says "Unknown error". What should I do? I'm taking a class online and we happen to be covering this feature.

After nearly ripping my eyeballs out and chucking my laptop out the window, I finally fixed the problem!
For some reason I didn't have a CMaps folder in my Adobe - Common Files - Font folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts\Reqrd\CMaps
So I made the "CMaps" folder and copied and pasted the files "Identity-H" and "Identity-V" from an "Adobe Reader" CMap folder, and now I can save text in an *.ai file with PDF Compatibility checked.
It's pretty strange Illustrator was working for 2 years without this folder, and now all the sudden it needed it. Also, this is a very obscure fix.
Hopefully the programmers at Adobe have fixed these bugs in newer versions.
