Re: [Flashcoders] AS2: blank input text field when clicked
You are mixing your AS2 / AS3 a bit...
I would suggest covering the text field with an invisble movieclip and
adding an onRelease handler to the clip that hides the button, then
clears the text field. When the user clicks the GO button, you want to
check the number in the field - goto the page or not - then show the
button again...
var myInvisibleButton:MovieClip = attachMovie(...)
var myGoButton:MovieClip = attachMovie(...)
var myTextField:TextField = ...
myInvisibleButton.onRelease = function() {
this._visible = false;
myTextField.text=;
//How to set the focus??
Selection.setFocus(myTextField);// ??
}
myGoButton.onRelease = function() {
//Handle text / paging.
myInvisibleButton._visible = true;
}

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash 10 - using basic RTL features without CS4
The standard TextField has no support for RTL text out of the box.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash 10 - using basic RTL features without CS4
Hi, That looks like a nice solution - I will try it with the Arabic and let you know... Previously we had been using FlarabySWF which flipped the order of the characters - writing backwards I guess - the resulting string was pasted into our XML files :) Cheers Glen Benny wrote: The standard TextField has no support for RTL text out of the box.

Re: [Flashcoders] Runtime Font embedding
Hi Glen, I don't think it's possible to embed a range of characters through AS3. It's all or nothing I'm afraid/ Willem van den Goorbergh On 10-feb-2010, at 17:52, Glen Pike wrote: Hi, I am working on some runtime font embedding with Flash CS3 by loading in a SWF at runtime with font symbols defined in library, exported for Actionscript, but not for sharing. I wish to use Arabic and Chinese characters in my fonts, so I have symbols for Arial and MingLiU Bold fonts. The problem I am having is that the Arabic / Chinese characters do not seem to be included in the Font Symbol / SWF. I have tried putting a text field on stage and embedding the character ranges for each symbol, but still no luck. In my Loader, I am loading the fonts, then some XML and using Font.hasGlyphs(string) to see if my Chinese / Arabic / other characters can be rendered with any of my loaded fonts, then defaulting to system fonts if they are not. I can get that far, but I would really like to embed / anti- alias the fonts better, etc. So, is it possible to ensure that the CS3 IDE embeds a range of characters, or would I have to do the fonts using Flex / Flash Develop and [Embed] with unicode ranges to create my font swfs?

RE: [Flashcoders] Combining embedded and device fonts in one textfield
Ah, I've just been there with IPA characters. If you are using htmltext it's do able, though in the end I embedded the font (deja-vu in my case, it's open source) since I also needed to set plain text. The trick is to unicode escape the character, replace it with that escaped code and set a style on it's replacement, where that style specifies the embedded font. so if you know your character code for your undertie , lets say it's 1234, try something like this : var unicodeString:String = # + 1234 + ;; str = str.replace(String.fromCharCode(1234),span class='ipa' + unicodeString + /span); then specify the style for your text : _textStyle = new StyleSheet(); var ipaStyle:Object = new Object(); ipaStyle.fontFamily = YourEmbeddedFont; _textStyle.setStyle(.ipa, ipaStyle); yourText.styleSheet = _textStyle; Sorry if that's a bit scrappy, hopefully it will give you an idea of where you might head. I was using flex, in fact, but I think this still applies to flash textfields. -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com on behalf of confustic...@gmail.com Sent: Thu 2/11/2010 6:01 AM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Combining embedded and device fonts in one textfield Thanks for that link, Ktu. I didn't know you could specify Unicode ranges to embed - very handy. Unfortunately, the problem still remains of having to combine an embedded font and a device font in the same textfield. As Lee Brimelow demonstrates near the end of the tutorial, the lowercase 'u' didn't display because only uppercase glyphs were embedded. It seems like if I choose to embed only the undertie character, my textfield will only be capable of displaying ... the undertie character! It seems like this is the conundrum: 1) I need to embed the undertie character, as Arial Unicode MS is not guaranteed to be found on all machines. 2) That means that any textfield which would have an undertie in it, would have to have embedFonts = true; 3) Any textfield which has embedFonts = true can only display characters included in the embedded font. Which, referring back to (1), would just be an undertie. 4) This means that if I want to have an undertie, I'd have to embed the undertie AND every single other glyph which might be used in that textfield. Uppercase, lowercase, punctuation, numbers, etc. Further, I'd have to embed separate versions for each of bold, italic, and bold-italic. All this for an undertie!!

Re: [Flashcoders] Runtime Font embedding
You can embed a range of characters through AS3. The unicodeRange property of the embed directive handles this. [Embed(source='pathToFond', fontName='NameOfFont', unicodeRange='Range1Start-Range1End,, RangeNStart-RangeNEnd')] - jon On Feb 11, 2010, at 6:35 AM, Geografiek wrote: Hi Glen, I don't think it's possible to embed a range of characters through AS3.

Re: [Flashcoders] Runtime Font embedding
Hi, Thanks guys - it looks like the only way to use Embed is CS4 or FlashDevelop - that's fine with me, but I also need to get my head around the fonts that actually have the characters I need - part of the problem, Arial has Arabic, but not Chinese, so I need to load accordingly there. Just trying to get a workflow / methodology together for applying the font across my interface - as it's not web-deployed large file sizes are not critical, but being able to swap the interface language and embedded fonts is... I discovered Lee's tutorial for CS4, which I completed using FlashDevelop to [Embed]: http://gotoandlearn.com/play?id=102 he also includes a good link to a better / more interactive Unicode generator here :http://rishida.net/scripts/uniview/conversion.php Now I just need to get my RTL to play ball and I can (build an army of multilingual robots to) take over the world. mwa-ha-ha Glen Benny wrote: Maybe this will help you a step in the right direction: The IDE uses C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\en\First Run\FontEmbedding\UnicodeTable.xml http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/0894.html http://blog.madebypi.co.uk/2009/06/01/flash-character-embedding-adding-addit ional-ranges/ http://www.epic.dk/flash-unicodetable/flash-unicodetable-generator.php - Benny ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
