RE: [Flashcoders] Creating And Printing String With AS3
i think there are a number of different ways to embed fonts in flash. but the way i do it is by creating a "new font" from the library panel and then setting the linkage so it is "export for actionscript" and then giving it a class name. this definitely works for me and works with your code (without the tweenLite stuff). only a couple other modifications to the code. you can see the code at: http://pastebin.com/m401946d0 all this stuff is on the adobe docs i think, written somewhere. hope that sorts it. > Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:45:22 -0800 > Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Creating And Printing String With AS3 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > > it looks like you're not calling the init() method so the code is set > up correctly but none of it is ever called. > > when you have a problem like that, it's good to break it down into > little pieces; instead of debugging three methods, comment two out and > focus on just one. if that doesn't work, take out vars, math etc and > keep breaking it down until you find the problem, then add back on. > > working in this manner is a great way to develop, and doing so will > cut down your frustration considerably. > > > > > > > > > On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 10:24 AM, beno - wrote: > > On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 12:45 PM, Glen Pike > > wrote: > > > >> Hi, > >> > >> This might help: > >> > >> > >> http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=0234.html > >> > > > > That doc states: > > > > Create a TextFormat object, set its fontFamily property to the name of the > > embedded font, and apply the TextFormat object to the TextField.

Re: [Flashcoders] Creating And Printing String With AS3
it looks like you're not calling the init() method so the code is set
up correctly but none of it is ever called.
when you have a problem like that, it's good to break it down into
little pieces; instead of debugging three methods, comment two out and
focus on just one. if that doesn't work, take out vars, math etc and
keep breaking it down until you find the problem, then add back on.
working in this manner is a great way to develop, and doing so will
cut down your frustration considerably.

That doc states:
Create a TextFormat object, set its fontFamily property to the name of the
embedded font, and apply the TextFormat object to the TextField. When
specifying an embedded font, the fontFamily property should only contain a
single name; it cannot use a comma-delimited list of multiple font names.
So I changed my code as follows:
public function blurClient():void
{
trace('blurClient');
var client:TextField = new TextField();
this.addChild(client);
var clientString:String = 'Joel Holt';
client.text = clientString;
client.embedFonts = true;
client.x = 100;
client.y = 100;
client.height = 20;
client.width = 200;
var clientFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
clientFont:fontFamily = 'Arial';
clientFormat.color = 0xff;
clientFormat.size = 20;
clientFormat.font = 'Arial';
client.defaultTextFormat = clientFormat;
TweenMax.to(client, 1, {blurFilter:{blurX:20}}).reverse();
}
and got the complaint that there is no such thing as "fontFamily". What
should I use instead?

Re: [Flashcoders] Creating And Printing String With AS3
Hi,
This might help:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=0234.html
Simply:
Put a TextField off the stage somewhere. Put some random text in
it, set it to "Dynamic Text", set the font face to Arial (size doesn't
matter)
Choose "Embed" and select your character ranges - (Basic Latin is
useful). If you animate text, change the Aliasing to "...Animation".
When you create a text field, set embedFonts to true:
e.g.
atty.embedFonts = true;
Also, I see you use "name" for the name of an instance of something
- try not to use "name" because this is a property of things like
"DisplayObject", MovieClip, etc. so you might get complaints...

quickly scanning the code, i can't see where you have assigned a string to

var myString:String = "this is my string";var myTF:TextField = new

Here's the new code:

blurName();
easeOfc();
easeAtty();

trace('blurName');
var name:TextField = new TextField();

var nameString:String = 'Joel Holt';
name.text = nameString;

name.defaultTextFormat = nameFormat;
TweenMax.to(name, 1, {blurFilter:{blurX:20}}).reverse();
}

var ofcString:String = 'Joel Holt';
ofc.text = ofcString;
ofc.x = 100;

ofc.width = 200;
var ofcFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
ofcFormat.color = 0xff;
ofcFormat.size = 20;

ofc.defaultTextFormat = ofcFormat;

Re: [Flashcoders] Creating And Printing String With AS3
You probably need to embed the fonts in your Flash file - put a text
field on stage with Arial characters embedded and set the "embedFonts"
property on your text field to "true". You need to use embedded fonts
for Tweening...
