Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic fonts and Tweens
Hi Steven, I created a new font in my library and set the linkage, then created a new dynamic text field in my mc in the library and embedded the 114 gylphs that I need and set its linkage. Since its only one textfield, attached and placed all over the stage, its still a small .swf. It worked great. :) Thanks for your and everyone's suggestions.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic fonts and Tweens
It's likely it's not using an embedded font (whether it's embedded on the library or not is just a detail and doesn't say much about your actual textfield). Can you rotate the mc? If you can't, it's not using it. If you use embedded fonts you'll be able to change its _alpha. If you *can* rotate it it means it's using embedded fonts. Then you are supposed to change its _alpha normally. If you can't, there's something else on your code that's preventing the _alpha change from taking place, or doing so with a value that produces no result. There's no difference between an _alpha tween from a _x, _rotation, or _xscale tween. Zeh On Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 11:34 AM, John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic fonts and Tweens
I'm not sure what you mean by embed. I created in the library a ³New Font², selected Tahoma, set the linkage ³export in first frame², gave it a name ³myTahoma². The I went to my dynamic text field and selected for its font ³myTahoma *². Then I set the linkage for the mc with the textfield inside of it and called it ³myNav_mc². Then attached myNav_mc, positioned it on the screen, attached rollover and rollout functions to it (that work fine). But when I set the _alpha, nothing. :( I¹m I missing a step?
