TextField definitely has quirks. If you look in TextArea, you'll see some callLaters used to deal with it. And I think we don't use autosize, we trust textWidth/Height and dictate size.
Also note that until applicationComplete event, you aren't really on the display list. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Bradley Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2007 11:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Is it possible to anti-alias fonts without embedding? Thanks for any help Alex... I'm actually having issues on the initial draw of the bitmap - so visual problems. While the user rotates and scales the field, everything is fine and dandy. BUT, when the class for handling the bitmap and the text field itself is first instantiated, the field is not drawn accurately. The field draws out at the proper scale, but it doesn't respect the new 'width' that the field should have once type is added to it. For example, the initial size of the created field is some width X height. I'm using autosize on the field itself, so when the text is changed, the new width and height are used to draw the result onto the screen (new bitmap size to match). This works fine during live editing, such as changing the text of the field. When the class first loads though, I get the right size and color font and Bitmap that it should be, but all that is drawn is up to the height/width of the field that it was when it was first created. I looked to see if there was an event for autosize ... to no avail. I also tried to use resize events, render events, etc. Nothing has solved the problem. My initial guess is that it might have to do with the styles that get set on the field and some type of delay. Unfortunately, I can't share the code for the classes on the list, but I'd be more than happy to send along if you're willing to take a look. best, jon On Sep 22, 2007, at 2:12 PM, Alex Harui wrote: If chart labels are looking fine to you, then you should be able to duplicate. What kind of issues are you having? Is it that you're trying to get bitmaps before attaching the text widgets to the display list? Or are you seeing visual problems over certain backgrounds or angles?
