and I repeat myself: Macromedia should have come up with such solution
...
no new thing, just the same as the inventor but on the smart side ...

I managed to roughly understand it and am using it successfully - so
cheers for that =D
I don't really understand how it is forced to include the font.
Just make sure ForceShared Library item Link value - Url is set to
the .swf file of itself - the Url field will appear to disappear if
you look at again, but this seems to be the key.
(If anyone wants to explain why that would be great)
Sencillo means Easy, use the example in that folder - just replicate
the way it works and it works lovely.
I'm very lucky that I am working with a few Spaniards as the site is
global I am working on =D
<<<<<<< Issue >>>>>>>
There is a small issue with it though.
I have a site which uses lots of fonts - so this is why I am using
this technique.
However the main .swf contains AvantGarde and a shared font library
loaded in also has AvantGarde in it.
The AvantGarde in the main movie overrides the shared library brought
in, so if you only have static text fields generated in the authoring
environment (on the timeline) in the main movie only the characters
included in those will appear in any subsequently created dynamic text
fields.
In my case I have hacked the main movie clip by making one of the
static text fields dynamic and embedding the characters I need there.
There is a better solution, but for now 14k in a 200k+ file does not
seem too bad -
especially as we need the app to go live as a Beta sooner rather than
later - so it starts to make money.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This technique is a massive step forward ( I've tried to do this for
ages - and was so close )

Hi All,
I tried to get trough the translated version of www.zarate.tv and I
didn't understand that much :)
But as far as I understood the following issues where unsolved -
correct?
- "It cannot have in the film created text fields from the IDE (not
even static) with the same source that the one that is going away to
load..."
- It is not possible to use Bold or Italic styles
I just wonder since I have just found the solution for those
issues...so I guess the question is if this is common knowledge or do
people still think its unsolveable?
If anyone is interested in the solution just say so and I'll explain:)
Cheers

Emne: Re: [Flashcoders] get, setTextFormat(),shared fonts and dynamic
text fields
Hi!
Thanks Cedric! I've to say that Martin Klasson has found some problems
with the hack of one single file per font[1], and i haven't had time
enough to check it. Hope i will soon.
Anyway, i think it still can be usefull.
Bye!

read the small text and look at the ZIP file
Description:
You can share fonts (or other assets) through SWFs *without* ever
linking anything in the FLAs
This is the solution Macromedia should have come up with!
Funny thing is that it is already here, even Macromedia didn't think
of
it ;)
Thanks again to Zarate!

Hi guys,
I'm trying to solve the shared library, dynamic fonts thing.
I have a shared library with some fonts contained in MovieClips.
Everything has instance names. Everything is set with linkage
identifiers and set to export.
In my other FLA I bring the shared library in and access the text
format of the text brought in.
I then create a text field dynamically and try to set the format
gained earlier onto the new field.
But guess what - it does not work.
Any ideas?
(It works if you use the shared library 'properly' eg using File>>
Import >> Open External Library,
but I do not want to do that - I only want to bring in the fonts as
and when required.)
The text has the rough format apart from the font is incorrect. =(
Here's my code. (I've left in all my other attempts)
I've tried to embed and not to embed
Regards
Steve
