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
