Re: [Flashcoders] Multiple html formattings in a TextField
Hi Rui, I'm afraid it's a bit more complex than that when using runtime shared .swfs; loading in clips with fonts embedded into them will not make those fonts available to the other loaded movies. Search the Flashcoders list archives - there's plenty of threads about loading fonts at runtime.

Ian, So, that means that no matter which TextField you embed the fonts into, they can be used in every TextField. I suppose this should work over a runtime shared library MovieClip too. Thanks a lot!

3) No. Setting embedFonts property tells the textField to _use_ embedded fonts, it doesn't actually enforce embedding. 4) The simplest way to have multiple fonts in the same dynamic TextField is to create a bunch of other, offscreen textfields (or imported in a clip in the library, doesn't matter which), and setting each one to embed the particular font - or font variant - that you want.

RE: [Flashcoders] Multiple html formattings in a TextField
Ok, Let's see if I got this right: 1. In order to use html formatting in author time created dynamic TextFields I have to force embedding by inserting some text in every style I will need and then choose the characters to embed in the properties panel; 2. With runtime created TextFields I have to set it's text format using setNewTextFormat indicating which font face will be used and then setting it's embedFonts property to true; 3. Using the embedFonts property forces the embedding of the whole font face, including its styles; 4. It's not possible to embed two font faces into the same dynamic TextField. The only way to use different font faces on the same TextField is to use device fonts which are not anti-aliased and cannot be masked with author time layer masks. Are these correct? Or am I way off?
