[Flashcoders] AS2 Shared Fonts and dynamically created textFields

2007-07-22 Thread pedr browne
Hello, I have a swf using a shared font. The font works fine in static or dynamic textFields created at author time, but does not work with dynamically created textFields. I am setting embedFonts = true. The dynamically created textfield's text property traces out the text I've set to it, but

Hello, Got an animation that uses nested MCs and programatic animation. Need to export it to either AVI or uncompressed Quicktime, and obviously using Flash's own export is a no-no. Was wondering how other people would approach this. Have tried a few swf to AVI apps, but found them prone to
