Using fonts embedded in the main app in Flash swf(s) loaded at runtime

Hello there,
My main application has several fonts embedded via CSS:
@font-face {
src: url('/Library/Fonts/ACaslonPro-Regular.otf');
fontFamily: CaslonR;
unicodeRange: U+0021-U+007E;
At runtime the main application loads various swf files that were created in Flash CS5.
I can't figure out how to allow those dynamically loaded external swf files to use the fonts that are already embedded in the main application.
Of course I can embed the font in each swf in Flash CS5 to begin with, but that doesn't seem like an elegant solution, let alone it significantly increases the file size of every swf.
Thanks,
FTQuest

How do you define which character set gets embedded with a font embedded in the library (i.e. Korean)?

I have project that uses a shared fonts. The fonts are all
contained in a single swf ("fonts.swf"), are embedded in that swf's
library and are set to export for actionscript and runtime sharing.
The text in the project is dynamic and is loaded in from
external XML files. The text is formatted via styles contained in a
CSS object.
This project needs to be localized into 20 or so different
languages.
Everything works great with one exception: I can’t
figure out how to set which character set gets exported for runtime
sharing. i.e. I want to create a fonts.swf that contains Korean
characters, change the XML based text to Korean and have the text
display correctly.
I’ve tried changing the language of my OS (WinXP) and
re-exporting but that doesn’t work correctly. I’ve also
tried adding substitute font keys to the registry (at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes) as outlined here:
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000211.php
but the fonts I added did not show up in Flash's font menue.
I’ve also tried the method outlined here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275
to no avail.
I know there must be a simple solution that will allow me to
embed language specific character sets for the fonts embedded in
the library but I have yet to discover what it is.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jim,
I know that it is easy to specify the language you want to
use when setting the embed font properties for a specific text
field but my project has hundreds of text fields and I'm setting
the font globally by referencing the font symbols in a single swf.
I have looked at the info you've pointed out but wasn't
helped by it. What I'd like to be able to do is to tell Flash to
embed a language specific character-set for the font symbols in the
library. It currently is only embedding Latin characters even
though I know the fonts specified contains characters for other
languages.
For example. I have a font symbol in the libary named
"Font1". When I look at its properties I can see it is spcified as
Tahoma. I know the Tahoma font on my system contains the characters
for Korean but when I compile the swf it only contains Latin
characters (gylphs) - this corresponds to the language of my OS (US
English). I want to know how to tell Flash to embedd the Korean
language charaters rather than or as well as the Latin characters
for any given FONT SYMBOL. If I could do that, then, when I enter
Korean text into my XML files the correct characters will be
available to Flash. As it is now, the characters are not available
and thus the text doesn' t display.
Make sense?
Many thanks,
Mike

I have apps loaded on my iPad. they show in the main screen are not available to load documents to in the window list which should appear below the main window. the same apps do appear in the sub window on my other iPad. any ideas?

From what I can see, unless you're doing things with old versions of Xcode on a Mac (in which case, the solution seems to be to upgrade to the latest version), this seems to e an iTunes issue.
Accepting that it works fine with another iPad, I suggest trying the following:
1. Restart the non-working iPad
2. If that doesn't work, reinstall iTunes. If you're on a Windows PC, I suggest using Control Panel to uninstall all the Apple apps, restarting the PC, and doing a fresh install. If you're using a Mac, a repair permissions might help too.
iTunes 10.3 is now available, and that may make a difference.

I cracked my screen. I want to use other monitor which I had one. I bought Apple Mini-DP to VGA adapter. It worked. It means I can see ADDITIONAL screen. However I want to use this monitor for the main screen. How can I do?? Please help.

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the monitor. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the monitor and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the monitor your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

This happens to me all the time.
If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.

Is there a way to make the font larger in the Messages app without changing the font size in Mail, Constacts, Calendars, and Notes?

Is there a way to increase the font size in the texting app, Messages, in IOS 8 without making the font larger in Contacts, Mail, Calendar or Notes?
I just want to increase the font size in Messages, and no where else.

No I do not believe there is

It is very difficult to navigate on facebook via safari. The IPAD does not allow other browsers to download and use it almost prevents the facebook app and the lack of scrolling the page.

I also have problems with Facebook on my iPad 2. I don't do a lot with Facebook and generally only post on my feed page. Sometimes hitting return on the keyboard enters the comment, sometimes not. Sometimes the comment will show on my iPad but if I revisit that page I find that the comment has disappeared. So I'd say that Facebook and my iPad are not totally compatible with each other.
I looked into Friendly and was about to purchase this free ap. But before I did I went to the Friendly web page for more info. There I found a page with users comments. One after another users complained about bugs with Friendly. The developers claimed a fix was coming but the user comments complained about the lack of response and support. One of the fixes suggested by the developers was to log out of Friendly then log back in. One user complained that doing this three times in ten minutes was not very helpful. Because of this I decided to avoid Friendly.
I did find a Facebook developed ap but it was for the iPhone. I presume that iPhone aps will work on the iPad but I'll wait until Facebook releases an iPad compatible ap. If there is an ap developed by Facebook for the iPad that I missed please let me know.

Dispatch event from the main App file

Hi,I have one simple question.I know how to dipatch events from the some of the components files to the main App file,but I don't know how to do the opposite?
I have an HTTPService with id = "getData" in some component file and I want to dispatch an event that will send it getData.send();
Is this possible,and it if is how?

It is possible but not a recommended practice.
Worst case you proxy out methods on your components and call directly:
maiAPpp.someComponent.doSomething();
SomeComponent
doSomething();
someOtherComponent.doSomething();
SomeOtherComponent
doSomething();
servcie.send();
My 2 cents are too look into MVC architecture and have the service inside a command which gets treiggered by a controlled which reacts to your event dispatched by the view.

Okay so about four days ago my ipad says it has apps to update but whenever i go to the update apps page it will not load and i have tried rebooting signing out but nothing will work, any suggestions?

If you are getting the blank app update screen, many, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days. It is a problem that Apple must fix now.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

Is there a way to change the font size in the music app?

Itouch 2nd gen user. just updated to 4.2 from 3.1.3, and boy does it suck. the font in the music app is so small now, i can barely see the song names and they take more care to hit, thus making it dangerous in the car. is there a way to fix what apple has broken by maybe increasing the size of the font, and thus the icons as well? my couisn has an iPhone 4 and said it was possible, but he couldnt find it in my options. is it there or not present for the 2nd gen? this needs to be fixed fast. Apple needs to figure out that it's a good thing to let users customize their device and interface, especially with Android kicking them hard.

It would depend on your definition of "Fix"
Your iPod touch running OS 4.2 has a ZOOM feature which will enable you to see the screen more clearly.
To turn Zoom on or off got to:
Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the Zoom On/Off switch.
_To Zoom in or out_:
Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is magnified 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to that magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
Increase magnification: With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
_Move around the screen_:
When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more of the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that side of the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle of the screen.
_Large Text_:
Large Text lets you make the text larger in alerts, and in Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes. You can choose 20-point, 24-point, 32-point, 40-point, 48-point, or 56-point text.
Set the text size: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility, tap Large Text, then tap the text size you want.
I hope this has helped a little - other than this option I think it pretty much is what it is.
BTW - This information can be found on page 208 of the iPod Touch iOS 4.2 Users Guide.
Best wishes..

I have use Apple TV with the remote app on my iPad 4 and my iPhone 5 I reinstalled the app on my iPad but the gestures do not work

I have been able to use my remote app from my iPad4 and my iPhone 5 until recently. I can connect and the tap to select works fine. But the app stopped responding to hand gesutres to navigate the ATV screen. All my software is updated to the latest versions. I deleted the app from my iPda and reloaded it from the app store. I turned off all my devices, including my router before reinstalling the app. I did not unplug the ATV. The app will activate the ATV and tapping menu brings me to the main screen but I cannot navigate the screen at all.

It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.

Using font folder in the Library folder OSX10.2.8?

Hi. I've checked postings and searched the database but couldn't find anything. This may be a dumb question. I work on OSX 10.2.8 Jaguar with OS9.22 (Classic). For Classic apps I use ATM Deluxe for font management. I don't have a font management program for OSX. Is it possible to drop the same fonts into the Fonts folder in the Library folder that are also loaded into ATM so that I can access them from both OSX and Classic? Thanks.
Cathy

If you want both OS X and Classic apps to see the same fonts, you place them in OS 9's /System Folder/Fonts/ folder. This is a big hassle though (as you likely already know) since you can't put subfolders of fonts in that folder. Meaning everything has to be tossed in loose, including Type 1 PostScript fonts. Deactivating them is harder. You can just drag the fonts back out, but once placed in its Fonts folder, Classic will not release fonts until you shut it down, even though they're not in the the Fonts folder any more.
You current best bet at a replacement font manager is Master Juggler. It can open and close fonts simultaneously for OS X and 9 (Classic). Suitcase X and X1 did this, but the newest release, Fusion, does not.

Getting Error Message when trying to use Software Update in the Mac App Store...

Hello,
I was wondering if someone knows what this error message in the Mac App Store means. I am trying to run Software Update by clicking in the Apple Menu however, I am not able to see my available updates and instead get the following message on the Mac App Store:
I have tried to fix the error by deleting both the Mac App Store Caches and plist files in the user library and made sure that I am properly logged into the Mac App Store with my personal Apple ID.
What else can I do?

I've been having the same issue. It was all fine until yesterday when I was searching for updates.
Since when have you been seeing this error message?
Last time I checked for an update was about 2 weeks ago and there were no errors reported. However, today I wanted to update iTunes to version 10.7 and decided to use the standalone installer rather than the SU version. Still, I decided to run the MAS Software Update function in order to ensure that my computer had all its software up-to-date and then I get this message. I don't think that me installing iTunes is to blame. Probably, it could be an internet connection problem on Apple's end I am still submitting a bug report to Apple.
Now one question, who is your ISP (internet service provider)? In my case I have Comcast and I am in Florida.
Thanks for your reply!

Since Apple already has a SMS/MMS app for the iPhone, which can be used over WiFi, can the same app be installed on the iPad 2?

I have an iPhone 3GS, and realized I do most of my SMS/MMS messaging at home, when connected to my WiFi. Then I began to think, if I'm using the messaging app over WiFi, can the SAME app (which, personally I like much better than the third party apps) be installed on the iPad 2 (which I'm still waiting from back order)?

Incorrect.
SMS/MMS is exchanged over the same network as calls.
"Dumb" phones or phones not in the smart category that don't have internet access in any shape, form, or fashion can exchange SMS/MMS.
Since SMS/MMS (a poor man's email with cell phones since it is very limited) is a cash cow for carriers and very profitable, why wouldn't cell phone carriers be interested in including SMS/MMS as an additional option (and of course at an additional expense) with a data plan only for the iPad? They certainly are interested in it but they can't since SMS/MMS is exchanged over the same network as calls.
Get me the IPAD SMS app
Take your whining someplace else. The self-entitlement displayed here by some is laughable.

The use of pseudonyms as the main iCloud iCloud IMAP / new iCloud email without changing Apple ID

There was a need in a new email. My main email of [email protected] and [email protected] I don't use these emails. I created the pseudonym [email protected] and I want that [email protected] was the MAIN email of iCloud IMAP
And [email protected] and [email protected] it is simple to remove.
I am very captious person and if something is connected with names that to me very strongly hurts the eyes. Certainly I could forget, but what for? to me these emails the truth aren't necessary! I use [email protected] from it I write and I receive letters. [email protected] and [email protected] are disconnected in settings and for them only letters come. I want them to remove FOREVER from an account of Apple ID and to use one as the main [email protected]
I ask you to help with this question.
