[flexcoders] Re: embeding fonts of a style (Interstate RegularCondensed)

[artur_desig2dev]

we are having the same issue but with applying styles to Interstate
Light:
but we're trying to get this to work in AS3 ..and not FLEX..

first we tried doing it this way..

[Embed(source="../fonts/Interstate-Light.ttf",
fontName="Interstate-Light", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
public static const InterstateTTF:String;

[Embed(source="../fonts/Interstate-Bold.ttf", fontWeight="bold",
fontName="Interstate-Bold", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
public static const InterstateBoldTTF:String;

[Embed(source="../fonts/Interstate-Italic.ttf", fontStyle="italic",
fontName="Interstate-Italic", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
public static const InterstateItalicTTF:String;


var defaultStyle:Object = new Object();
defaultStyle.fontFamily = "Interstate";

var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
style.setStyle(".defaultStyle", defaultStyle);

var t:TextField = new TextField();
t.embedFonts = true;
t.styleSheet = style;
t.htmlText = "My bold text";


then we also tried it using CSS and embedding the font in a swf:


package
{
 import flash.display.*;
 import flash.events.*;
 import flash.net.*;
 import flash.text.*;

 [SWF(width='955', height='600', backgroundColor='#FF',
framerate='24')]

 public class Index extends Sprite
 {
 [Embed(
 source="font.swf",
 symbol="InterstateLight"
 )]
 private var Interstate:Class;

 public function Index()
 {

 Font.registerFont(Interstate-Light);

 var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();

   var normal:Object = new Object();
 normal.color = "#FF4900";
 normal.fontFamily = "Interstate-Light";
 normal.fontLeading = 2;
 normal.fontSize = 11;

 var bold:Object = new Object();
 bold.color = "#FF4900";
 bold.fontFamily = "Interstate-Bold";
 bold.fontLeading = 2;
 bold.fontSize = 11;
 bold.fontWeight = "bold";

 var italic:Object = new Object();
 italic.color = "#FF4900";
 italic.fontFamily = "Interstate-Italic";
 italic.fontLeading = 2;
 italic.fontSize = 11;
 italic.fontStyle = "italic";

 style.setStyle(".normal", normal);
 style.setStyle(".italic", italic);
 style.setStyle(".bold", bold);

 var label:TextField = new TextField();
 label.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
 label.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
 //label.embedFonts = true;
 label.multiline = true;
 label.styleSheet = style;
 label.htmlText = "HOLA HOLA HOLA HOLA
HOLAHOLA  DDDHOLAAA";
 addChild(label);

 var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Interstate-Light", 11)
 var label1:TextField = new TextField();
 label1.defaultTextFormat = tf;
 label1.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
 label1.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
 label1.embedFonts = true;
 label1.multiline = true;
 label1.htmlText = "HOLA HOLA HOLA HOLA HOLA";
label1.y = 100;
 addChild(label1);
 }
 }
}


any ideas?!
time sensitive project.. thanks

[flexcoders] Re: What fonts do you embed?

[artur_desig2dev]

matt,

im making a flex app that needs to let the user select their local
fonts to embed and upload to our server as shareable swf library?

will this feature let us do that?

thanks

[flexcoders] Re: ::: uploading Fonts into a live site-->possible?

[artur_desig2dev]

Runtime Shared Libraries?

http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_3:Feature_Introductions:Flex_3_RSLs

[flexcoders] Re: ::: uploading Fonts into a live site-->possible?

[artur_desig2dev]

how so?

a - its for use for only that user's site..not to share for other
people's site..or anywhere else.

so its no different if they made their site by themselves with that font.

b - youtube solves this by making each user confirm they own their
content..ie font in this case.

[flexcoders] ::: uploading Fonts into a live site-->possible?

[artur_desig2dev]

just wondering if anyone achieved this successfully yet?
from both a mac and pc.

is this doable via Air?
basically embed the user's local font into a "shared" swf.
then upload and share that swf's embedded font set with the main site
swf? ( after recompiling everything on the server of course )

thanks

im looking to select multiple tiles via click&drag.
while at the same time generating a selection box over the tiles.

Which app is easy to setup and integrate with FlexUnit ?

can Continuum work with FlexUnit?

also i noticed Bamboo:

..but it requires special JUnit Xml formatting

my devs and i ( the PM ) dont have any experience with CI.

the only tutorial we have found is Cruise+Flex

without using AIR?

thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Amazon S3 + Flex Uploader // help!

[artur_desig2dev]

an AIR solution will not help me..since im not building an AIR app.

has anyone successfully managed to Batch Upload ( and auto process )
files to S3?

if so can u tell me how?

are their libraries ? or classes out there?
 
and should this be strictly done in PHP? or in the Flex App?

thanks

[flexcoders] Amazon S3 + Flex Uploader // help!

[artur_desig2dev]

greetings..oh wise list.
my 1st post.

im trying to find a way ( a class/library ) to 
BATCH upload from FLEX using fileReference() to Amazon S3.

is there some code/samples one is kind enough to share that will
automatically via Keys - generate and attach 64-based policies,
signatures, etc.

and would this be easier to do in PHP? 
if so, why? and how?

any advice, direction, and code sharing would be immense.


thanks!
