Hello all, I thought I was finished with my embedded fonts project last night. Tested it on Firefox, and it worked beautifully, so I shipped it to the client.
As I have been testing it this morning, I have been getting an intermittent error. It doesn't seem to be tied to the browser or Flash Player version. When I try to register the first downloaded font. I'm getting "Error 1508: The value specified for argument font is invalid." Summary of the project: in Flex, using code only, create a swf with embedded fonts. Then download that swf, extract the fonts, and put some text on screen with that font. Relevant code from the embedded font swf: public class EmbeddedFonts extends Sprite { public function EmbeddedFonts() { Security.allowDomain("*"); } [Embed( source='../fonts/Garamond3/GaramThrBolItaOsF.ttf', fontName='Garam3BoldItalicEmbedded', embedAsCFF='false' )] public static var Garam3BoldItalicEmbedded: Class; Relevant code from the downloader: private function loadSwf():void { var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); loader = new Loader(); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleLoadComplete); loader.load(urlRequest); } private function handleLoadComplete(pEvent:Event):void { var FontLibrary:Class; FontLibrary = pEvent.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("EmbeddedFonts") as Class; registerFonts(FontLibrary); showText(); } private function registerFonts(pFontLibrary:Class):void { var fontLib:Class; fontLib = pFontLibrary; Font.registerFont(fontLib.Garam3BoldItalicEmbedded); <-- Crashes here with error 1508 } In the debugger, I see these values: fontLib = EmbeddedFonts$(@b131f99) Garam3BoldItalicEmbedded = EmbeddedFonts_Garam3BoldItalicEmbedded (@bc57e1) Any idea what's going on? It was working last night, I swear! (Yes, I've rebooted Windows :-) Cordially, Kerry Thompson _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
