embedfonts=true + htmlText?

Is it possible to get the fonts embedded when using htmlText? Took me a long time to track it down to being embedfonts that was making my text disappear facepalms

What code are you using to embed font?

yes you can use embedded fonts… are you using CSS as well?

What code are you using to embed font?

[Embed(source = "C:/Windows/Fonts/arial.ttf", fontName = "Arial", fontWeight = "normal", advancedAntiAliasing = "true", mimeType = "application/x-font")] 
public var ARIAL:Class

I’ve also tried embedding in library in the flash IDE . I can embed fonts and have some htmlText set once, but when I try to update the text it disappears unless I set embedfonts=false. I am using CSS too but I’ve tried testing without and the problem remains.

Here is the code I used that does’nt work with embedfonts set to true:

import flash.text.TextFormat
import flash.text.TextField
import flash.text.AntiAliasType

var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
var textfield:TextField    

format1.font= "Arial";
format1.size=12;
format1.color = 0x888888

textfield = new TextField();
textfield.x=0
textfield.y =0;
textfield.width = 100
textfield.height = 30
textfield.embedFonts=true;
textfield.antiAliasType=AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
textfield.htmlText = "text" 
textfield.setTextFormat(format1);
textfield.border = true
textfield.wordWrap = true

addChild(textfield)

textfield.htmlText = "newText" 

textfield.setTextFormat(format1);

textfield.defaultTextFormat = format1;

Small change that’s all base on your code ….

var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
var textfield:TextField  
/////////////////////////////  
var _Font:MyFont= new MyFont();/////Libary font
format1.font= _Font.fontName; ///name the Libary font and you are set 
/////////////////////////////
format1.size=12;
format1.color = 0x888888

textfield = new TextField();
textfield.x=50
textfield.y =50;
textfield.width = 100
textfield.height = 30
textfield.embedFonts=true;
textfield.antiAliasType=AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
textfield.htmlText = "text" 
textfield.setTextFormat(format1);
textfield.border = true
textfield.wordWrap = true

addChild(textfield)

isn’t that the flex embed method, not sure if it works within flash?

i’d follow tsafi’s change in code.. you have to initialise the font from the library at runtime…

Yes, it works in flash cs4:

and komapeb already gave the answer, he needs to re-apply textFormat after updating text.

yeah I think that only works in Flex. But here’s a cool workaround:
