Re: [Flashcoders] Help Formating/Styling Dynamic Text
Double check these things: 1) The TextFormat::font must be set to the linkage id of the embedded font, not the font's original name (i.e. BigBoldTreb, not Trebuchet MS). 2) set TextField::embedFonts property to true. 3) call TextField::setTextFormat *after* text is assigned to the TextField.

Re: [Flashcoders] Help Formating/Styling Dynamic Text
Aaron, Are you aiming for all the text to be bold, or just a selection set by a TextFormat object or HTML? I would be happy to look at an example of what you're tying to do if you want to shoot me a FLA or some code snippets: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Always hard to debug font issues with my imagination. :) -rw Aaron Roberson wrote: rw, I have tried two techniques for embedding my fonts: 1.

Re: [Flashcoders] Multiple html formattings in a TextField
Rui, You'll need to embed three versions of Arial (normal, bold, and italic), for this to work. -rw Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2006 17:06:13 +0100 From: Rui Duarte Silva [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Flashcoders] Multiple html formattings in a TextField To: FlashCoders Mailing List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Hi, Suppose I have a Dynamic TextField on the stage and I want to: 1.

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Better XML parsin
I've found XFactor Studio's XPath library to be invaluable: http://www.xfactorstudio.com/ In a similar vein, does anyone here use a solid alternative to XML config files, perhaps with server-side object serialization or some such? -rw Flash Mel wrote: Jack - Awesome!

Using for loops seems antiquated. Could I do a while loop and cycle through all the possible nodes? What else is out there for parsing XML in a cleaner fashion?
