[Flashcoders] Problems with browser rendering fonts when antiAliasType = advanced

2009-07-08 Thread matt stuehler
All,

I've recently noticed a strange problem when using antiAliasType =
advanced in textfields that include more than one font family.

When I play a SWF in a browser - Flash doesn't always handle character
spacing properly - spaces disappear, characters overlap, etc. The
kerning is sometimes way off.

However, when I compile and run the SWF through the IDE (or play the
SWF locally using the Flash player), everything looks just like it
should.

As soon as I set antiAliasType = normal, the problem disappears.
However, this isn't a great solution, because the font isn't as
readable.

Does the Flash browser plug-in have a known problem rendering fonts
when the antiAliasType is set to advanced?

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Matt

[Flashcoders] swfaddress issue resolved(finally)

2009-07-08 Thread Gustavo Duenas
 I don't know why but  while checking my old mails from the list  
I've found out that one of my colleagues here point me to a tutorial  
about how to use
SWFaddress, therefore I went there and I've tried the solution there  
and results that works fine!!!


1. instead of installing the swc from swfaddress I've just put the  
swfaddress.as and the swfAddressEvent.as in the folder of my flash  
site and copied the

the index.html file for the example and voila!!!

2. results that maybe I have the swc installed in someplace that  
wasn't the correct(causing some kind of conflict when it compiles),  
if anyone knows where is the correct place, please let me know.
and for second I've just put the swfaddress.addeventlistener to the  
end of the code instead of the beginning , according with  
gotoandlearn.com
so for the people who has problem with this swfaddress thingy, this  
maybe is a solution. Voila!! now is working as supposed to.



I hope it helps (for newbies like me :))


Gustavo

[Flashcoders] AS3 multi-range slider

2009-07-08 Thread Eric E. Dolecki
Before I set out to code one of these up, does anyone have an AS3 range
slider that can use more than two thumbs? Like four or five? Not using Flex.

Thanks for any pointers in advance.
