my problem is… i can’t make the text to load. it can’t even be viewed! :puzzle:
I’m a newcomer for Flash. I thought this might be a simple lil’ project i can start with. but i’ve spent the whole afternoon yesterday + plus whole morning today, looking at diff. tutorials, searching answer via this forum – but i can’t find answers… i’ve asked ppl around, nobody knew what’s wrong… So, please please please help!!!
A few things are wrong.
If you masked text you have to embed your fonts or use setMask().
Your calling the wrong variable from your textfile (trMushroom should trRecipes).
And I didn’t understand what you’re after with the values you had for “solly”.
I changed them (w3 and w4), but I could be wrong though;)
ok, I looked at the .zip you sent, but couldn’t find how you did this. sorry, i’m really really a beginner… and slow… please tell me again where u put the setMask() or how do you embed fonts?
Your calling the wrong variable from your textfile (trMushroom should trRecipes).
In the file I used embed fonts.
In w4 click your textfield (select it), then in the properties panel look for the “character” button, click it and choose one of the options:)
Now Flash saves the outlines of the font and you can mask it.
Ok, I got it.
But on my original flash, I cannot make the button to work! – although i copied the exact same button as what you have…
The more weird thing is… it seems like they recognize there’s a text, because the scroll bar adjust , it knows how much text i have. but the letters don’t appear!
I see the problem:)
If you use the “B” to make the font bold, flash is not saving the “bold” outlines. Try it with another font that has a bold type and it will work, or use the verdana as “plain”
