Is it possible to do the following using AS3 and Flash CS3 IDE? The following only works if the txt TextField is created in the IDE and if the txt.embedFonts line is removed. This does not work if I create a TextField with AS3 instead of using the IDE. Is embedding a font via code only available in Flex?
package mtm.EmbedFonts
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
public class EmbedFonts extends MovieClip
{
public var txt:TextField; //References stage instance created in Flash CS3 IDE
[Embed(source='C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/Arial.TTF', fontName='_Arial', unicodeRange='U+0020-U+002F,U+0030-U+0039,U+003A-U+0040,U+0041-U+005A,U+005B-U+0060,U+0061-U+007A,U+007B-U+007E')]
protected var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
public function EmbedFonts():void
{
initTextFormat();
initTextField();
txt.text = 'Hello World!';
}
protected function initTextFormat():void
{
format.letterSpacing = 1;
format.size = 14;
format.font = "Arial";
}
protected function initTextField():void
{
txt.multiline = true;
txt.wordWrap = true;
txt.border = true;
txt.selectable = true;
txt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
txt.condenseWhite = true;
txt.embedFonts = true;
txt.setTextFormat(format);
txt.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
}
}
}
