RE: [Flashcoders] Anti-aliased text in components

2007-04-09 Thread Randy Tinfow 
Turns out the original code below works just fine.  It just requires
that the component be fully loaded first.  

Thanks,

Randy Tinfow and Michael Randolph

 ...just use global styles to set the font on the components 
 to an embedded font in your swf. The components aren't 
 anti-aliased because they use device fonts.

[Flashcoders] Anti-aliased text in components

2007-04-05 Thread Randy Tinfow 
I'm trying to make the text inside all macromedia components to be
Anti-aliased.  This has proven to be quite difficult.  I would rather
have a class that takes care of all of it, so here's what I have so far:

class net.imageplant.AntiAliaser
{
private static var _arrChecked:Array;

public static function antiAlias(mc:MovieClip,
bContinue:Boolean):Void
{
if (!bContinue)
{
_arrChecked = new Array();
}

for (var i:String in mc)
{
if (mc[i] instanceof TextField 
!checkChecked(mc[i]))
{
_arrChecked.push(mc[i]);
mc[i].antiAliasType =
advanced;
}
else if (mc[i] instanceof Object 
!checkChecked(mc[i]))
{
_arrChecked.push(mc[i]);
antiAlias(mc[i], true);
}
}
}

private static function checkChecked(mc:MovieClip):Boolean
{
var nMcs:Number = _arrChecked.length;
var bChecked:Boolean = false;

for (var i:Number = 0; i  nMcs; i++)
{
if (_arrChecked[i] == mc)
{
bChecked = true;
}
}

return bChecked;
}
}

I have only tested it on a List component so far, and it does not work.
I can't even figure out where the actual TextFields are in a List
component.  How could MM overlook this?  The components are useless when
you can't match the text to the rest of your app...any ideas/help?
