Re: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts with a font that doesn't have bold
Yeah i understood that bit (doh). Standard fonts have the glyphs all inside one package (bold and italic) however some font designers make variants of these sets. These variants are not tracked by the standard text formatting services (Bold keyword needs to correspond to a default set for bold - if someone calls it bold-condensed you are screwed). As a result, these variants are accessed as if they are separate fonts (postfixed with the variant name). [Bindable] public var $mainFont:String = Some Font Regular; [Bindable] public var $mainFontBold:String = Some Other Font Bold; In most cases, it is impossible to strictly adhere to one font and expect all glyphs to be available for all styles. So to provide SUCH a facility, simply use one glyph set that is specific to bold and another for regular text. If (obviously) the author didn't include the glyphs for the font - simply use a substitution (a different font). All i was saying was that you can get around the missing glyph issue by using a different font and modifying the fontFamily property either in HTML (htmlText) of the text-box property or the style attribute... if ($fontFamily != null) $textBox.setStyle(fontFamily, $fontFamily); Enjoy, regards and hope that clarifies..

[flexcoders] Flash focus issue or browser issue ?
Hello there.
I'm experiencing a bug with non-IE browsers (firefox, opera, chrome,
...) and wondering if it's a Flash or Flex bug or a browser issue. What
do I need to do to solve that ?
Quick version: here is the example showing the problem
http://devenirlibre.com/fullscreen/FS.html
http://devenirlibre.com/fullscreen/FS.html
More detail:
I have a fullscreen button. It's state is linked to the DisplayState
value.
I made a example to show you the problem. It's based on a flex example
source :
http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/08/07/creating-full-screen-flex-applic\
ations/
I just changed moved the button to the top of the Application, give it
an id (button) plus the following:
private function fullScreenHandler(evt:FullScreenEvent):void {
dispState = Application.application.stage.displayState + (fullScreen=
+ evt.fullScreen.toString() + );
if (evt.fullScreen) {
/* Do something specific here if we switched to full screen mode. */
} else {
/* Do something specific here if we switched to normal mode. */
}
}
to
private function fullScreenHandler(evt:FullScreenEvent):void {
dispState = Application.application.stage.displayState + (fullScreen=
+ evt.fullScreen.toString() + );
if (evt.fullScreen) {
button.selected = true;
} else {
button.selected = false;
}
}
To see the bug, make sure that the place where the button is when
fullscreen is outside the browser content window when normal. I hope it
make sense.

[flexcoders] Combobox editor problem
Hi.
Iam using a combo box as item editor and am rendering it dynamically using
action script. My requirement is simple.
a.) I have 3 values, Y, N and TBD. The default is TBD.
b.) When I click on the drop down, the TBD is visible at the background of
the drop down.
Not sure why this is happening and because of this, the look and feel is not
all that good.
Request your help to get rid of this problem.

[flexcoders] Can't get properties to compile?
I'm trying to add locale-specific properties to my application. I'm using Flex
Builder 3.0.2. What I've done is:
- at the root of my module, added a folder named 'res'
- underneath res, added a folder named 'en_US'
- within res/en_US, added a file named 'MyApp.properties', which contains my
localizable properties
I added the folder 'res/{locale}' as an additional source folder to my project
under the Flex Build Path property for my project.
Under the Flex Compiler properties I have the following under Additional
compiler arguments:
-locale=en_US -allow-source-path-overlap=true -keep-generated-actionscript=true
I now have a generated folder under my src folder, and it includes a large
number of .as files, including a number of *_properties.as files, but not one
for MyApp. Indeed, in my application, if I trace the result of
ResourceManager.getInstance().getBundleNamesForLocale(en_US), I get the
following list:
effects,formatters,SharedResources,skins,containers,styles,core. MyApp,
however, is not listed, and indeed, attempting to fetch any resource from the
bundle MyApp returns null.
What am I missing?

[flexcoders] Using flexTask on Linux
Hi. I was trying to compile a project that compiles fine on Win on Linux. I believe I'm using the same SDK distro on both platforms.

The missing definition looks like it shouldn't be the part of flexTask or Ant (or, maybe actually Ant's XML parser?). Well, I'm really not even sure where to look for the info / what to look for. I can otherwise run other Ant tasks, haven't made extensive testing, but, what I've tried had worked so far. Any ideas anyone? Thanks Oleg
