[flexcoders] Re: How to load TTF fonts at runtime

Yes, it's possible. There's are a series of useful blog postings here that describe the techniques that can be used: http://blog.739saintlouis.com/index.php?tag=css --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, core_rico [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is it possible to load TTF fonts at runtime? I do not

[flexcoders] for/for each iteration order for Array

In Flex 2.0, when iterating through elements of an Array with for ... in, or for each ... in, is the iteration guaranteed to occur in index order? It appears to be the case, but I can't find any authoritative reference that says so explicitly.

[flexcoders] Re: Dynamic font loading

Thanks, Philippe. I think you were responding to a thread I started last week. Your example here is a useful one, but doesn't actually address the problem I was posing. In your example, although the embedded font is placed in a separate component, it is still compiled into the main SWF. What

[flexcoders] Re: downloading fonts dynamically

Thanks, but although the Darron Schall piece on embedding fonts in RSL's is related to this topic, it doesn't address my issue here, since the RSL's can't be selected at runtime (as far as I can tell). I think the key here is the child and application SWF domains that Roger Gonzalez hinted at

[flexcoders] downloading fonts dynamically

I'm looking for a mechanism to download embedded fonts dynamically, i.e. at runtime, as the user selects them through the UI. I don't want to simply embed all the fonts in my SWF, because they're too large. And putting them into an RSL doesn't do what I want either, because the entire RSL

[flexcoders] Re: downloading fonts dynamically

Roger, thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I had found and been playing with the embedded font list used by by the Flex UI controls; and I've also been using the lower level TextField API's directly. So far, I've had no luck at all in getting dynamically loaded fonts to be recognized. You said:

[flexcoders] Re: TextArea hit-testing

Tracy, thanks but that article doesn't seem to address my question. I understand how to get a mouse position; the tricky part is, given a mouse position, determining exactly which character in the text field is at a given mouse pixel position. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor

[flexcoders] TextArea hit-testing

Is there any mechanism for converting between a TextArea character position and a pixel coordinate? That is, given character position n in a TextArea, how can I determine the pixel coordinates of that character? Or vice versa, given a pixel coordinate in a TextArea, is there any way to do a
