RE: [Flashcoders] Combining embedded and device fonts in one textfield
Ah, I've just been there with IPA characters.
If you are using htmltext it's do able, though in the end I embedded the font
(deja-vu in my case, it's open source) since I also needed to set plain text.
The trick is to unicode escape the character, replace it with that escaped code
and set a style on it's replacement, where that style specifies the embedded
font.
so if you know your character code for your undertie , lets say it's 1234, try
something like this :
var unicodeString:String = "&#" + 1234 + ";";
str = str.replace(String.fromCharCode(1234),"" +
unicodeString + "");
then specify the style for your text :
_textStyle = new StyleSheet();
var ipaStyle:Object = new Object();
ipaStyle.fontFamily = "YourEmbeddedFont";
_textStyle.setStyle(".ipa", ipaStyle);
yourText.styleSheet = _textStyle;
Sorry if that's a bit scrappy, hopefully it will give you an idea of where you
might head.
I was using flex, in fact, but I think this still applies to flash textfields.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Combining embedded and device fonts in one textfield
Thanks for that link, Ktu. I didn't know you could specify Unicode
ranges to embed - very handy.
Unfortunately, the problem still remains of having to combine an
embedded font and a device font in the same textfield. As Lee Brimelow
demonstrates near the end of the tutorial, the lowercase 'u' didn't
display because only uppercase glyphs were embedded. It seems like if
I choose to embed only the undertie character, my textfield will only
be capable of displaying ... the undertie character!
It seems like this is the conundrum:
1) I need to embed the undertie character, as Arial Unicode MS is not
guaranteed to be found on all machines.
2) That means that any textfield which would have an undertie in it,
would have to have embedFonts = true;
3) Any textfield which has embedFonts = true can only display
characters included in the embedded font. Which, referring back to
(1), would just be an undertie.
4) This means that if I want to have an undertie, I'd have to embed
the undertie AND every single other glyph which might be used in that
textfield. Uppercase, lowercase, punctuation, numbers, etc. Further,
I'd have to embed separate versions for each of bold, italic, and
bold-italic.
All this for an undertie!!

RE: [Flashcoders] Loading local files with query strings
That's what you'd expect with *local* files, e.g. loading from a filesystem.
The filesystem will look for the file with the literal filename
"my_swf.swf?id=33".
A web server, on the other hand, knows that anything after "?" is not part of
the filename, and should be treated as a query string.

Hi everyone,
I have a strange problem loading external assets from local files with

If i use query string in the file name, the asset don't loads.
This code doesnt load the swf file inside a class
this.mySWFLoader = new Loader();
this.mySWFLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT,

this.mySWFLoader.load(new URLRequest("my_swf.swf?id=33"));
if i dont use the '?id=33' it works.
Any suggestions?

RE: [Flashcoders] Loading image on local filesystem
Are you sure this is not a "security" error due to the allow network / allow local setting? I'm guessing that you may want to allow local file access for the swf (somewhere in publish settings as I remember), or add the img folder on your local drive to flash's "trusted" locations. -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of K-Dawg Sent: 29 January 2009 13:30 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Loading image on local filesystem On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 6:51 AM, Muzak wrote: > use relative path and forward slashes > > "img/image.jpg" > > I'm sorry, I mistyped for some reason. The actual string passed into the URLRequest is: img/food_array.jpg the path is relative and does exist exactly as that.

RE: [Flashcoders] Question about the AIR security model...
Apparently, if you load the .swf as a byteArray then you can then use a
loader to load that as a swf, in the context of your application.
Normally that would be considered a potentially bad thing, but in your
case it looks like it could be exactly what you want to do.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Question about the AIR security model...
Yes. I have understood this when doing some research on the subject. My
problem though is that I don't want theswfs to be installed together
with
the app (a few thousand swfs altogether). I want my AIR App to load a
dir
full of them
and walk through them all and check if they implement a certain
interface.
I've done all these things, my only problem now
is that I cannot cast them in AIR at all which makes the whole thing
pointless.
You see my problem here right? I need it to load arbitrary swfs from a
harddrive or network share (i.e locally through the filesystem)
and try to cast them to an interface - throw up a warning or generate a
list
of swfs that do not conform to the interface and need to
be fixed.
I guess this cannot be easily done, or perhaps not at all... Could it be
possible through a sandbox bridge or something like that?

RE: [Flashcoders] calculating distance between two points
Pythagorus, innit? The square root of the the sum of the difference in x squared and the difference in y squared ? Or was I not listening in school way back then? I think there may be an inbuilt method in flash, mind you, but if there is I don't know what it is. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lehr, Theodore M (N-SGIS) Sent: 11 March 2008 12:05 To: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] calculating distance between two points How do you calculate the distance between two points with different x and y values?

RE: [Flashcoders] FileReference.download problem
It could just be windows set to not show file extentions for recognised file types - personally one of my most hated "features", but that's the default and most people don't change it. Just a possibility ? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Mennenoh Sent: 21 February 2008 16:29 To: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] FileReference.download problem I let users download an image - using FileRef.download - it works fine, except that some users are not getting the .jpg appended to the file name. I've tried using issuing a default file name, and just letting FileRef make the name from the download URL and just the image name appears - minus the extension. I tested here (XP - IE and FireFox) and I see the .jpg on both browsers. My client does not see the extension - XP, IE - same version I have (she says). Odd. Anyone else seen this?

Subject: [Flashcoders] AS3 Function question
Hi list,
I have a function in AS3, and it takes two arguments, but sometimes i
want it to have 1 argument. But when i run it now it errors:
1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 2.
How do i do this? keep one arguments standard in the function brackets
and check for the second argument with the arguments array like in AS2?
Help would be advised,
Thanks,
Sidney
