I can see a #text cast member named "Back", but not one named "myMember". That might be your first problem. Next: I don't see a font cast member named "Sassoon Primary *". Perhaps both of these elements are in a prior cast ("Internal" or "Images"), or perhaps your script error relates to one or both of these elements being missing or misnamed.

Look my website www.ionio.gr/~aleksgeor.

OK, but I have no idea what the word "MAIN" should look like.

When you execute the change in the message window did you also save and re-publish the movie file? When you make this change, close and re-open the .dir authoring file do you see your text in the embedded font?

System message and event handler; contains statements that run just before the playhead enters the first frame of the movie.

on startMovie()

member("myMember").font = "Blackadder ITC *"

end

I inserted font (Blackadder ITC *) and I see that be my cast member. Also, I called "myMember". I open Message Window (CTRL+M) and I write command member("myMember").font = "Blackadder ITC *" and after I saved my file but the word (MAIN) doesn't change.

Look my website www.ionio.gr/~aleksgeor.

I think Adam was suggesting that this be done in the Message Window and that the file should then be saved, thereby including this change

Can you please tell me what is the script I do not know why? Namely I do not know how to put this command member("myMember").font = "Arial *"

I suspect that when you are assigning the font to a text member you are assigning the system version of the font rather than the embedded one. When selecting the font in the text edit window, or specifying the font in a script, be sure to select the version that has a * after it.

So if you embed Arial, the embedded version will be called "Arial *"

For example, to set the font of a member called "myMember" to the embedded Arial

member("myMember").font = "Arial *"

Hope that helps.
