[Flashcoders] Embedded Fonts: Works in CS4, Fails in CS5?

2010-06-26 Thread Bill S. 
One of the frustrating things with CS3 Flash was (contrary to many blogs -- and 
I believe the docs) that you could not actually [EMBED] fonts.

However this worked wonderfully in CS4.

But now, in (a fully updated) CS5 I can't seem to get EMBED to work again.


The below code is exactly the same in a CS4 and a CS5 FLA. Literally, the same 
fla file was copied and updated to CS5. The font class was untouched.

All it is meant to do is display This is my text, which works in CS4.


The code is the same for both CS4 and CS5.
Am I missing something in the code? Or a setting?


import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
 
import fonts._Arial;

[SWF(backgroundColor=#ddffdd, frameRate=30)]


var Arial:_Arial = new _Arial(); 

try
  {
 var _title:TextField = new TextField();
with(_title)
 {
x = 1;
y = 1;
alpha = 100;
background = false;
   defaultTextFormat = new 
TextFormat(font=_Arial,size=24,color=0xff,align=center); 
   width = 500;
   visible = true;
   selectable = true;
   type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
   antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
   embedFonts = true;
   text = This is my text;
   trace(Embedded);  // Embedded is outputted in both cases.
 }
stage.addChild(_title);

}
catch(e)
{
 trace(error in TextField setup:  + e);
}


// the fonts._Arial class
package fonts
{
 import flash.text.Font;
 import flash.display.Sprite;

 public class _Arial extends Sprite
 {
  [Embed(arial.ttf, fontName=_Arial, mimeType='application/x-font')]
  public var m_font:Class;

  public function _Arial():void
  {
   Font.registerFont(m_font);
  }
 }
}


Thanks

I don't know about cs5, but this thing got me a day ago when I needed to 
use stysheets and fonts, I had to add fontFamily in the embed tag aswell 
for the font to show.


 [Embed(arial.ttf, fontName=_Arial, fontFamily=_Arial,
mimeType='application/x-font')]

Re: [Flashcoders] Embedded Fonts: Works in CS4, Fails in CS5?

2010-06-26 Thread John McCormack 
I was trying to do this today and kept getting errors and then came 
across this:


http://forums.adobe.com/thread/441087

It goes on to say:

Turns out the packages have been split up at least as early as build 
7410 (May/2009) and I was including flex4.swc where the mx classes no 
longer reside.


I am not sure if it's the problem but I changed the classes I was using 
and that fixed it.
