Hey,
Don’t get me wrong I love flash. It is doing everything I want beautifully, but ever since actionscript 2.0 has been around I loath using text in flash.
I had the same problem as I am having in the first versions of AS2 but Im making this in AS3!
Ok so apart from struggling with the randomostiy of flash text rendering I finally got it acting how I wanted (just by flipping every switch till it worked).
So I need some HTML text because I want to include hyperlinks and text colour changes WITH text that has been loaded externally. Currently I have the problem that the hitbox around the hyperlinked text is far below the actual visual line of text.
The only work around I can think of is by creating some script that makes an invisible button over the exact text, but this is going to be a nightmare to do! The main source of the problem I suspect lies within the font itself as it is a custom font I made but probably did not compile properly. I do not know if other people have similar problems as this but its ■■■■ annoying as everything else works brilliantly.
EDIT: I just tried this with a non-embeded Aerial font and I have the same problem.
Thanks for reading/helping,
Dan
