this is getting stranger - I have tried a lot of things ( now slowly
looking at hacking into the input box component ). The odd thing is
that this works in the flash IDE - but not when its online / in the
browser - it just does not show the font.
Here is a link:
http://underground-bunker.com/transfer/fonttest/
The issue is with the combo box - on the right of the caption 'WHERE
DO YOU LIVE '
( its styled to be all white )
By default it should show some text "select country"
The font shows up in the combo drop down menu - but not in the input
field.
Surely it cant be this much pain to set the font of a combo menu.
I must be doing something really wrong somewhere.
<code>
var tClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("GothamMedium")
as Class;
Font.registerFont(tClass);
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "Gotham Medium";
tf.size = 12;
tf.bold = false;
cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle("embedFonts", true);
cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle("textFormat", tf);
cmb_mc.textField.textField.embedFonts = true;
cmb_mc.textField.setStyle("textFormat", tf);
cmb_mc.textField.textField.defaultTextFormat = tf
</code>

Hi Glen - thanks for the answer.. Yep - i remember that one - I
tried this at first and sadly it did not work...
however to make things stranger - the fonts work in the textfield
when i use the keys to select from the drop down (then mouse
selection works). But it does not work initially.
hmmm...

Hi,
Try putting a text field off the stage set and embed your chosen
font into it - that used to do the trick with AS2.

Hi list -
I am using the flash CS3 components - and have hit a little snag -
when testing in the IDE ( or just running the SWF ) all the fonts
show up fine - no problem. However the moment the site goes in the
browser - the font does not show up in the ComboBox textField,
however they show up no in the dropdown menu. I have embedded the
font in my library - and well - i have no clue as to why this is
not working in the browser.
this is the code i am using to format the combobox:
<code>
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "Gotham Medium";
tf.size = 12;
tf.bold = false;
cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle("embedFonts", true);
cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle("textFormat", tf);
cmb_mc.textField.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
cmb_mc.textField.setStyle("textFormat", tf);
</code>
Kind regards
