preloading font problem 2004-03-04 - By Jesse Warden
Back
As Branden's article points out, you have to have the font in _level0. To
get it included, do 1 one of 2 things:
- right click on it in the library, and choose export in first frame. This
will make it exported. However, you don't use attachMovie on fonts. If you
like, you can use it in dynamic (or non) text fields, like so. Say you name
it "cow". You can then do:
createTextField("my_txt", 0, 0, 0, 200, 200);
var _fmt = new TextFormat();
_fmt.font = "cow";
_fmt.embedFonts = true;
my_txt.setNewTextFormat(_fmt);
my_txt.text = "Sup, I'm using the cow embedded font.";
- however, the above will not allow preloading. Uncheck export in first
frame, and place a text field using the font on frame 2 offstage. On frame
3, you can then use it as normal. This assumes nothing else in your movie
is using export in first frame, and if MX 2004, your classes are exported on
frame 2 or beyond, allowing your preloader to work.

Thanks for the link, but I am still having som troubles.
I made the fontSymbol in my library. How then, do I pull the font symbol
into my main movie? with attachMovie and then attach the whole movie i.e.
how do I then import the font?
