Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic shread fonts was : Linked font from class
Zarate's trick doesn't work with Flash 8 ?... hmm, I am using Flash 8 IDE, but compiling to 7 ,... no problems .. yet ?... I works so nicely with my 100 files project ... it even works in ZINC projector (they said it wasn't possible! :)) anyway, Erix's SWFMILL solution seems great ... and I understand french :) will try it for sure... Hmm... regarding someone at Adobe/Macromedia telling us something about shared libraries ... huh! it would be like George Bush praying for global world peace ;) as for shared assets, I never read anything 'smart' on the mothership's side ...they are just sticking with opening thousands of FLAs, dragging, dropping elements everywhere, edit their linkage in some weird place, tick on , tick off, compile, retest, don't work ... close Flash, relaunch, open again: works ...huh ? yeeeaaahhhaa... I am SO negative on ADBE/MM Shared Libraries implementation ... ... it is like a NO feature anyway, I hope that your wish is listened to ... i go to the wishlist right now ... Cedric Heeello! First of all, sorry for not publish the english version of the article. I never find time enough to do it :S Then, since right now I´m working with SWFMill and MTASC I´ll try to remember my bad french and read your post. I know sometime ago Martin Klasson (who is also in this list) found some side problems with the trick I was using. I know that trick is not elegant at all, but trust me, it does work. BUT it would be *great* to hear someone at Macromedia telling us when (if at any time) do they plan to add an official-risk-free way to load and use dynamic fonts without any kind of restrictions. I guess the best way to do it is the simplest one: use fonts the same way we use classes. That mean "including" the font(s) in one swf, load it at run time and then use it wherever. I know it´s doesn´t seem as important as other features for player 8.5, but it will help a lot of people.

I've made a new thread on my blog in order to explain my attempt : http://www.v-i-a.net/blog/archives/43.html I used Zarate's trick (because this is in fact a trick) to do it with opensource tools. I had the feeling that it would be easier than the long (and badly translated) explanation available. As I don't anderstand spanish and you don't probably french, I try to translate some part of my post here. We'll be able to create true dynamic shared libraries for flash. The principe uses the same as Zarate, but IMHO more friendly. If I remember well, the flash player 6.0.79 gets a new feature : multi-tiers shared lib. We use that in order to create dynamic shared lib without referencing the url in the importing animation. Here are the key to the paradise : - An empty swf - This swf is used to add the url to itself and the other assets to be shared. - A loading animation that preload the sharedLib before using it. All the swfmill script are on the blog. If one is interested to an automated as2ant process, let me know. Even if this is an awful trick, it leverage the power of dynamic shared assets in flash. And I, personnaly, feel much more confortable to do it with swfmill than Flash, as that type of creation is really ugly in it.

still, you have to put that Shared thingie in both **The sharedLib AND ** The loader ... with zarate's, you don't need both ... actually, you just prepare the **SharedLib and then the Loader automatically loads in the new font (without linking, without compiling, without everything, just leave it alone) wouldn't it be better ?
