External font + external textField

Aug 9, 2012 7:21 AM

Tags: #as3 #swf #actionscript #as3.0 #ac3 #actionscript3 #font_display

I have a font library, which is loaded in runtime and has a font embeded.

After it's loaded I use Font.registerFont

Then I load an swf-file, that has a textField in it. And I do

var format:TextFormat = textField.defaultTextFormat;

format.font = resultFontName;

textField.embedFonts = true;

textField.selectable = false;

textField.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;

textField.defaultTextFormat = format;

 

textField.setTextFormat( format);

 

And still I don't see any letters.

 

Please, help.

    Trace the font and see what it outputs, make sure it's what you expect.

     

    trace(format.font);

    Not only I trace, I make a new TextField using the same TextFormat and it look right as expected.

    So you created a new TextField, used the same format and it worked fine? Is this other TextField something you placed on a timeline or was it also created with code?
