If you add fontWeight='bold' to the embed call it works.

Hi.
I'm trying to use a bold font with the Embed dingus, and when I use this:
[Embed(systemFont='Gotham', fontName='goth', mimeType='application/x-font',
unicodeRange='U+0020-U+002F,U+0030-U+0039,U+003A-U+0040,U+0041-U+005A,U+005B-U+0060,U+0061-U+007A,U+007B-U+007E')]
public static var
There are all kinds of tools to accomplish this in BitmapData, like
floodFill(). threshold() has yielded good results for me, too, but it
requires some tinkering. Look at the examples in the docs.

You'd have to have something onstage at (0,0) for it to start measuring

If you need it, write something that retrieves the Y value of the item plus
the item's height, where item is the DisplayObject in the loaded SWF.

Hi,
Anyone have any experience using Flash 10 and the TextBlock/TextElement
classes?
I was hoping I could use an implementation of it to solve the age-old
superscript problem, but can't find a way to attach a stylesheet to it.
Barring experience, does anyone have any good resource links?

It certainly works if the type matches up, but it runs faster/is more
optimized if you do strongly type myObj.
The other thing that would probably speed up execution is if you assign
myObj.menuSquare_mc to a local variable. It takes more time to do the dot
lookup on the item you're referencing

This is about how I'm doing things at present. If something only affects one

the most part. If it engages two, then I move to a Command

FDT, which I love. Love! It does take a while to get to a point where you're

PV3D's pretty good, tho there's a little bit of a curve to learning it. I
haven't done any Away3D stuff but I've heard good reports about that too.You
probably don't want to go down the custom road as once you start to deal
with z-sorting and all that in earnest it balloons in complexity quickly.
Anyone who has spent any serious time with it knows that it isn't an
option.
Oh come now, don't be ridiculous. I used FlashDevelop in a work setting for
a year or two, and have switched to FDT (Mac). FlashDevelop is indeed a
great tool, but I think FDT edges it out. There are a couple features
