Hi all I am still on flash 5 and here is the text from MM on html tags for a dynamic text box:
Flash enables you to preserve rich text formatting in editable text boxes.
You can select the HTML formatting option for dynamic or input text boxes in
the Text Options panel. With the HTML option selected, basic text formatting
(including font name, style, color, and size) and hyperlinks in the text box
are preserved by automatically applying the corresponding HTML tags to the
specified text box. The following HTML tags are supported in editable text
boxes:
<<…>> <A>
<<…>> <B>
<<…>> <FONT COLOR>
<<…>> <FONT FACE>
<<…>> <FONT SIZE>
<<…>> <I>
<<…>> <P>
<<…>> <U>
You can also apply HTML tags to text boxes in the Actions panel, as part of
the variable value for a text box. When you select the HTML formatting
option in the Text Options panel, supported HTML tags that you applied in
the Actions panel are preserved when you export the movie’s SWF file.
So <STYLE> is not supprted, I need this option in flash! Soto somone that owns MX, Does Flash FX support this?
Thanks lostinbeta, this could be a way to solve the blury text when embedded in flash by using micro$oft’s EOT font files! Just an idea could be way off, as the font problem may have been fixed in the newer verisons of flash
Well I don’t know, considering Micro$ofts EOT font files only work in IE.
Not to mention that both IE and NS have stopped even trying to figure out a way of embedding outside fonts into an HTML page. They originally were trying to collab and come up with something together (from what I hear) so that it would work in both browsers, but given the way each browser worked, they couldn’t do it.
NS no longer makes their font converter available and IE stopped production on theirs so there is only the one version of it.
Also, I don’t know if Flash only supports certain CSS features (sorta like how it does with HTML) so it may not support the CSS ability to use an EOT converted font.
