RE: [Flashcoders] Cross platform text woes

[Karina Steffens]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the tip. I made the change and sent if off to the client to test.
I hope it solves this issue. I'm only using a single font size in the text
field, so I'm not sure if the same fix applies, but fingers crossed!

Hi Bill, 

Thanks for your reply. Do you mean to use style sheets even if I'm not
changing the sizes of the fonts in html, but just using the one size set in
the properties panel?

PS - Forgot to mention, still using MX2004 to author.

Use styles to control the sizes of the fonts.  I had the same issue on a cd
project using system fonts and that solved it.

[Flashcoders] Cross platform text woes

[Karina Steffens]

Hi List,
 
I'm developing this CD-Rom for schools and it's supposed to work on both PC
and the Mac.  The (current..) trouble is, that very occasionally, the
dynamic textfield on the Mac doesn't work properly, cutting off some words
and sentences in the middle, and either forcing them to the next line or
leaving the rest out entirely. At least this is what the client reports.
This is happening extremely rarely - maybe once or twice -  in a very big
cd-rom with a huge amount of data, but my client is getting shirty about it.

 
All the text is coming from XML files and edited in Sepy (on the PC). The
text fields themselves are using device fonts (_serif) and are html
formatted and selectable.
 
Any ideas what might be causing it?
 
Thanks,
Karina
