[I'm revising and re-sending this as I'm not sure this reached the
list, and I've answered some of my own questions. -Marc]
I'm working on an all-Flash site that will use a single swf to
display many "pages" of information about manufactured products.
Regarding text functionality, I'm not sure what combination of
textFormat, CSS, and font embedding to use. I want to achieve the following:
1. Dynamic text fields that display text from an xml file.
2. Embedding several fonts, but not the entire character sets.
3. Allowing the user to modify the point size of the text (for accessibility).
4. Controlling a:hover and a:link properties from a central location
so that I can apply color and underline effects to links.
#1: This is no problem for me.
#2: The issue is that if I use CSS rather than TextFormat, the
embedded fonts aren't accessed by Flash, so the font must reside on
the user's system, which is no good.
#3: Is there a way to trap the browser text-size controls so that
they tell Flash to resize the text? Sort of like trapping the Forward
and Back buttons in the browser. But it could be too complicated if
the different browsers use different methods to resize the text.
Anybody have experience with this?
#4: Can CSS be used at the same time as TextFormat? If so, how?
Specifically, I'd like to specify a:hover and a:link properties via
CSS, but handle most other text properties via TextFormat.
Many thanks!
