Does Dir 11.5 w/Hotfixes support Flash Player 10 & TLF text

Tags: #flash #text #.swf #11.5

Hi everyone,

I am making a new CD template and I want to use Flash CS5 AS3 TLF text.

I will support over 30 languages.

What types of problems might I encounter with my flash player 10 SWF.

I have one or more flash shared font files to support the languages too.

I import the text from XML.

 

Any know bugs?

Any recommendations? (well other than use Classic text)

 

Thanks ,

Jim Wiley

    Suck it and see. Try your SWF in a D11.5 file and make sure it does everything you need it to.

    Yes, it does. We have created a few CDRom projects just as you describe. You'll need to be sure to embed all the proper glyphs - We use AS3 to determine if the preffered font can render the text, then drop to Arial Unicode if not -- or device fonts if all else fails. If you have a lot of input, then Director falls a bit short. Last time we just used a classic input field with device fonts. But when we had a lot of input, we couldn't use Director at all and used Zinc 4 instead. Hope that helps.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have more questions but they are for the AS3 Forum about switching font resources - enum and all that.

    I have to make a class to choose between system fonts and SWF fonts if not avaiable.

    Then I get to model it -stress test the time and memory hit.

    Thanks again,

    Jim
