hey guys, can somebody help me with embedding fonts? I made one scroll bar and inside the scroll bar is a font (pixel font) I have downloaded from the net (SW!FT\_V01). and i’ve read in the forum that to embed you have to click the dynamic text and and click the characters, and I chose all characters. then I pressed ok. I uploaded my swf file to my site and then when i checked it to another PC that does not have the fonts i have used, it shows the default fonts. I attached my fla file so please if you have time to check it, then tell me what have i done wrong. Please do correct me. And one more thing, in the scroll bar, like inside the dynamic text field, can i attached an image? Like when I scroll it, it also scrolls the image. I’d really appreciate your help. thnks, mrloo ---

I think the way you said how you did it is correct. I’m at work so I can’t look at your fla, but I will later to make sure. I would just try the process again of selecting the dynamic text field and hit Character - Embed All Characters. Sometimes I have to do things a couple times for it to work. As for the picture in your text box - nope, can’t do it. You can put an image behind the text, but it won’t scroll with the text. ---

You didn’t embed the characters. The box wasn’t checked. Look into that. As for the image scrolling: you could place the image along with the text in a movieclip and then scroll that movieclip (I think you can do that using a component also, the ScrollPane I thought. I don’t use it though.) ---

Yeah, [sapupo.com](http://sapupo.com) is a 404, but I cut and pasted the other one: [(raf.lavaland.net/flash.htm) and they are using a pixel font. You can get those at http://fontsforflash.com.](http://raf.lavaland.net/flash.htm) When you get one of these fonts, you have to set the static fonts coordinants on exact pixels (no 13.45 or 205.3 - has to be a whole number) - then it will come out that clear. When I use other fonts in my flash stuff, if I go to small, it gets blurry because flash softens out the edges of the font. I have like five pixel fonts that I bought (actually bought three got two free) and I don’t use them too often. I just make the font bigger in size; that usually solves that problem for me. And Voetsjoeba - Thank you for your support on your footer!! 😛 ---

what do you mean by 404? and i didn’t use a static font, i used that pixel font in a dynamic text field, because it requires when using a scoll bar. or maybe i made a mistake doing the scroll bar? you know, for the whole week now, I am trying to figure out what seems to be the problem. oh gosh… maybe i’ll start from the beginning, do you know any link of how to do the scroll bar right? can you tell me also if you happened to open my site, [www.sapupo.com/louie1.html](http://www.sapupo.com/louie1.html)? ---

You may also want to make sure that the dynamic text box is also resting on exact pixels. If that doesn’t do it, post a fla. ---

No, what I mean is the X and Y. When you make your dynamic text box, in the properties panel, on the left side, there is a little display that reads width and highth; and right next to it is x and y. Make sure the x/y are intigers. So, if the box is where you want it and the x reads 131.8 and the y reads 255.2 - simply change them to 132 and 255. That might help. :beam:
