I'm building a text editor in Flash as part of my application and came across a bit of a head scratcher for applying the Wingdings and Webdings fonts to an HTML Textfield. The following works fine:
testFormat = new TextFormat(); testFormat.font = "Arial" test_txt.html = true; test_txt.htmlText = "Hello"; test_txt.setTextFormat(testFormat) However, I can't figure how to get Wingdings or Webdings to work in the 8 player. None of the following work when substituting for line 2 of the code above: testFormat.font = "Wing Dings" testFormat.font = "WingDings" testFormat.font = "Wingdings" testFormat.font = "wingdings" testFormat.font = "Webdings" testFormat.font = "WebDings" testFormat.font = "Web dings" testFormat.font = "webdings" ?? Even applying those fonts directly in the IDE to the textfield doesn't work. Does the HTML rendering/ TextFormat Class in the Flash 8 player not support Webdings or Wingdings? They are standard windows fonts, I have them installed as well as my users, and those faces work in normal HTML. What gives - or am I just using the wrong keywords for the face value of each font?
