I’ve embedded a font in my library(instance name “Arial”) and created a new text field using createTextField. But nothing appears. Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]createTextField[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000]"myText"[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]100[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]100[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]300[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000080]100[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#000000]var[/COLOR] myFormat:[COLOR=#0000FF]TextFormat[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]new[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]TextFormat[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];
myFormat.[COLOR=#0000FF]font[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#FF0000]“Arial”[/COLOR];
myText.[COLOR=#0000FF]multiline[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]true[/COLOR];
myText.[COLOR=#0000FF]wordWrap[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]true[/COLOR];
myText.[COLOR=#0000FF]html[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]true[/COLOR];
myText.[COLOR=#0000FF]embedFonts[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]true[/COLOR];
myText.[COLOR=#0000FF]setTextFormat[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];
myText.[COLOR=#0000FF]text[/COLOR] =[COLOR=#FF0000]“Hooray!”[/COLOR];
[/LEFT]
[/FONT]
Alternatively, if I create a text field on the stage, give it an instance name of myText, and choose “Arial*” from the font menu, it works perfectly.
Any suggestions?
[whisper]Noticed this in the Adobe documentation: “After you’ve embedded a font in your library, you can use it with a text field on the Stage.” Does this mean this method won’t work for createTextField?[/whisper]
