Hi Daniel,
I am a little confused what you mean exactly. I have tried to set a
Label mxml component's style directly using the fontFamily name, and
when I do the text in the label diappears. Did you get it to actually
display the symbol font?
Here is the pertinent part of my current code:
<mx:Label id="myLabel" text="test" />
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private var ldr:Loader;
private function onInit() : void
{
showFonts();
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.applicationDomain =
ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "SymbolInclude.swf" );
ldr = new Loader();
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener ( Event.COMPLETE,
onLoaderComplete );
ldr.load( new URLRequest( "SymbolInclude.swf"), context );
}
private function onLoaderComplete(e:Event) : void
{
trace("onLoaderComplete: ");
var content:DisplayObject = ldr.content;
var c:Class = content["myFont"];
Font.registerFont (c);
myLabel.setStyle( "fontFamily", "mySymbol" );
showFonts();
}
public function showFonts():void
{
trace("showFonts()");
var fontList : Array = Font.enumerateFonts();
for ( var i:String in fontList )
{
trace("font: " + Font( fontList[i] ).fontName);
}
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
