lingo-l OT - Another Flash question: Missing characters when embedding Tahoma glyphs

Hi list Sorry for another Flash question but you helped faster than the Flash forums so I'm back! I'm having problems embedding the Tahoma font into Dynamic text boxes in Flash 8 Pro. No matter what I do, the following characters do not display: B D G H J K N P R U V W X Z z ? I'm only

Re: lingo-l OT - Another Flash question: Missing characterswhen embedding Tahoma glyphs

Thanks for the link Colin. All I'm doing to embed the characters is click the embed button and selecting the various list items for the characters I need! I even tried embedding everything (all 34000+ glyphs) just to make sure and it still didn't work. It's rather odd I must say... Ross

Hi Cath This happens with both auto kerning on and off. I think it might just be the one machine as I've had no problems doing this at home. Let's see if a project saved at home will be OK at work... Thanks all Ross

Re: lingo-l OT: Calling Flash guys - Child elements notreceiving mouse events if parent MovieClip has onRollOver function

Hi Cath Thanks for the input but the problem lies with the parent MovieClip hogging the mouse events for itself and not allowing any child elements to interact, so my button symbols never have an onRelease event fire regardless of where any onRelease script has been assigned. I've sorted it

Re: lingo-l OT: Calling Flash guys - Child elements not receiving mouse events if parent MovieClip has onRollOver function

Hi Colin Grimmwerks I woke this rainy Saturday morning and thought the same thing about doing a hittest onEnterFrame so nice to know I am capable of thinking Flash (Director's always been my strong point). I also like the idea of adding a mouse event listener, but that's going to be a

Hi Michael You can write a function to populate a list with member names for the sounds you want in a specific cast. You can then use that list as the #range inside your GPDL which will only display the members you've selected. This is based on something similar I did ages ago to get #field

Hi Chris I thought it could be an issue with user restrictions but there's no extracting required it just runs from the CD so I have no idea. Hi Daniel Going back to 10.1.0.11 isn't really an issue as I've used Flash 8 features so I need the Flash 8 Asset. TIA Ross
