Embedding Font in Flash CS3(using AS3)



Here is the way to embed fonts in AS3.0, and the code explanation follows

import flash.text.*;
var font:Font1=new Font1();
var txt_fmt:TextFormat=new TextFormat();
txt_fmt.font=font.fontName;
txt_fmt.size=24
var txt:TextField=new TextField();
txt.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
txt.defaultTextFormat=txt_fmt;
txt.embedFonts=true
txt.text="sara"
txt.selectable=false
addChild(txt);


Code Explanation:

Importing all the necessary classes..
import flash.text.*;

Creating new instance of the font from library..
var font:Font1=new Font1();
Here Font1 is the Linkage name given in the library



Creating TextFormat
var txt_fmt:TextFormat=new TextFormat();
txt_fmt.font=font.fontName;
txt_fmt.size=24

Note:
font is the instance name of Linkage name

Creating text field and applying the TextFormat created above
var txt:TextField=new TextField();
txt.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
txt.defaultTextFormat=txt_fmt;
txt.embedFonts=true
txt.text="sara"
txt.selectable=false

Adding the TextField to the DisplayList
addChild(txt);

this is the wrong way man - you shouldn't embed the ENTIRE font family.

Hi,
I did the same thing using Arial font and was able to embed the font for English language only. I was not able to see the Russian characters. I tried with "Arial Unicode MS" font also, but no luck...
Some one please help me?
I tested the font with this text "Джоан Брукс прибывает в Лондон".
