[Flashcoders] embedFonts vs. setTextFormat
Hi list...
The embedFonts line seems to prevent the setTextFormat line from
working. What am I missing? The font univ is in the library, and its
linkage is univ.
Thanks,
- Michael M.
private function createSlideWatcher():Void {
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.font = univ;
tf.color = 0xFF;
tf.size = 30;
_root.createTextField(slideWatcher,
_root.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 150, 150);
_root.slideWatcher.background = true;
_root.slideWatcher.backgroundColor = 0x66;
_root.slideWatcher.embedFonts = true;
_root.slideWatcher.setTextFormat(tf);
_root.slideWatcher.text = hi;
}

Re: [Flashcoders] embedFonts vs. setTextFormat
Try using setNewTextFormat() instead..

RE: [Flashcoders] embedFonts vs. setTextFormat
Try setting your textFormat after you apply the text.
Also, I try to make sure the linkage name of the font is the same as the
actual font for the purpose that its easier to read and self descriptive.
Order of operation does matter for this kinda thing, you have to embed fonts
before setting the text and set the textFormat after, I believe. For
example, I know this works:
var myTF=new TextFormat();
myTF.color=0x66;
myTF.font=DINNeuzeitGroteskLight;
myTF.size=10;
this.createTextField(tf, 2, 0, 0, 100, 0);
tf.autoSize = left;
tf.embedFonts=true;
tf.multiline = true;
tf.selectable=false;
tf.wordWrap = true;
tf.text = Testing this out;
tf.setTextFormat(myTF);

Hmmm... Maybe that´s the reason why I´m having inconsistencies... oh Flash
programming and it´s little hidden tricks... sometimes I feel like I´m going
crazy.

Hi all... Thanks for the responses. It was indeed a case of setNewTextFormat. I just don't get why that AS term exists.

Re: [Flashcoders] embedFonts vs. setTextFormat
Because it allows you to use several different text formats along one text string. Especially useful for a chat program, where you'd like the user's name to be in a different text style than his chat output. - A Marcelo de Moraes Serpa wrote: just don't get why that AS term exists.

RE: [Flashcoders] embedFonts vs. setTextFormat
N0 actually it doesn't affect the entire string, if you use the optional params. setTextFormat takes optional index parameters for the index to start the format and end the format. You can go mytf.setTextFormat(startIndex,endIndex,textFormat) I use that all the time to format something bold, smaller, etc and haven't found a need to use setNewTextFormat. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian Thomas Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2006 9:34 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] embedFonts vs. setTextFormat That would affect all the text currently in the field.
