Text of my post is below, which works for all pixel
fonts I've tested
so far (provided you use the proper font size in the
Flex CSS document).
First step is to put a dynamic text field on the
stage in Flash, set
your font for the field and choose the character(s)
you wish to
embed. Make sure the text field is set to use Bitmap
Text (whatever
the drop down is). You do not have control over the
characters after
this step, so all your embedding is done in Flash
(ie, no unicode
control in Flex CSS).
The use of font-weight: normal and
fontAntiAliasType: normal are
necessary, from what I recall. You have no control
over this in Flex
for pixel fonts.
The following steps are:
--
1. Don't name the embedded font in the Flash 8 swf
file the same as
the system font.
2. Open the Flash 8 SWF back up into Flash 8 IDE (or
CS3 IDE). When
you do that, do a list variables - Debug List
Variables. Make note
of the 'exported' font name that Flash used for the
font. That name
is what you'll use in Flex.
For example, on using a pixel font (Kroeger 05_56),
I exported the
Flash 8 SWF file, the embedded symbol name ended up
as kroeger
05_56_8pt_st. And in Flex, I used this in the CSS
as follows:
@font-face {
src: url(../fonts/Kroeger.swf) ;
fontFamily: kroeger 05_56_8pt_st;
font-weight: normal;
}
And defining the usage of that font, recognizing
that in this case
it's a pixel font and doesn't use the advanced anti
aliasing
.assetInfoTitle
{
color:#66;
fontFamily: kroeger 05_56_8pt_st;
font-weight: normal;
fontSize: 8;
fontAntiAliasType: normal;
}
Hopefully that will get you on your way.

Jon

[flexcoders] LCDS and FLEX 3
Hi All, at the moment I'm developing a flex application prototype. I use the AdvancedDatagrid, so I chose Flex 3 beta. I also need to have LCDS, so I installed LCDS 2.5 . In Flexbuilder I normally choose the option user compiler on server when I create a new flex project. Unfortunately in LCDS 2.5 there is a compiler for Flex 2, so I'm not able to use the AdvacedDatagrid. As a workaround I always compile in FB3 beta and put the swf files in my J2EE sever. In my opinion this is not the best approach, so I watched out for some example how to replace the Flex compiler in LCDS by the newest Flex beta version. I wasn't successful, no how-to at all. Is there a simple approach to replace Flex 2 by Flex 3 beta in LCDS? Thank you in advance, Christoph

As far as I can tell that's where the bulk of the processing
happens. What you're going to want to do is add progress events
dispatching in there. But simply dispatching progress events isn't going
to be enough. That would effectively give you notifications for progress
of encoding, but since flash player is single threaded, your display
won't ever have time to update while those for loops are running.
So you'll need to split the processing up into smaller tasks and
insert idle times between them. You'll want to use the Timer class to
make your code wait for a given period (I've found that even just a few
milliseconds is enough for the display to update).
I would split up the algorithm to process one row at a time (so
basically that inner for loop gets turned into its own function). Then
have the function that processes a row start a timer once it's
completed, and once that timer completes, then run the function for the
next row and so on until you finish. That was you can dispatch a
progress event for each row and the display will have time to update.
Hope some of that makes sense.

[flexcoders] Data Management in Flex : Add/Edit/Delete
Hi there, I am really new into Flex programming. I have been through a few tutorials and I really liked it. I am not sure though how to make a very simple task. Suppose I have a simple form and I want to update an SQL table when I enter some values in there. I want when I click submit to do that. In order to achieve this, do I need the livecycle data services ? Is that a 'must' ? Or, do I need the ColdFusion - Flex integration to do that? I have noticed that it is very simple to read data from an external XML file. But how can I update records to a database? Anybody has a really very simple example on this? thanks, George
RE: [flexcoders] Data Management in Flex : Add/Edit/Delete
Hi, Using LCDS is not a must but it does have advanced features that you might need depending on your application. If you want to update a DB then you do need a server side portion thats for sure. There are many ways to do this: 1) use Flex to call a WebService which is either done in Java, .NET, CF, PHP or whatever 2) use Flex's HTTPService to call a JSP/ASP/CF/PHP server page 3) use Flex RemoteObject to call a Java class or CF object Dimitrios Gianninas Development Team Lead Optimal Payments Inc.

I have two arrays that I am using to create a the dataprovider for a datagrid. The first grid tranMonth holds the data for the dynamic columns that I am creating. It holds the column header, and data field. The second grid holds all the data that is populating the datagrid. It looks something like this transData(sort:2007, janTotal:0, febTotal:5, etc). The over all sort that I am trying to do is allow the user to sort by the year they select. So that the month(column) with the most transactions now becomes the first column in the grid. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
[flexcoders] Re: own metadata tags
Yes, you can define custom metadata tags. You will need to add that tag in the flex-config.xml file (where 'Bindable' etc tags are added). This will let compiler know that it needs to keeps these tags in compilation. You can then access these tags through describeType() method.
