I have a project that I’m working on where I want to allow a user to control some text formatting for a Flash interactive via external XML. They want to create links and bold text in paragraphs and such.
Here’s the problem. I go through the following steps to set up a predefined dynamic text field (HTML formatting):
[LIST=1]
[]Create dynamic text field on the stage
[]Go to library, create font symbol for HelveticaNeue font
[]Set dynamic text field on stage to font symbol for HelveticaNeue
[]Turn on embedding for dynamic text field
[]Set HTML formatting to true on dynamic text field
[]Write out ActionScript for filling dynamic text field – e.g. <b>THIS FIELD:</b> + someVariableFromXML
[]Publish movie
[]Bold text disappears
[/LIST]
What am I doing wrong here? I need to make sure font symbols are present and dynamic text fields are set to embedded fonts to ensure PC/Mac font display for dynamic content for oddball non-standard fonts.
Why doesn’t this work? When I create the font symbol and set it to bold, STILL doesn’t work.
Please advise.
Thanks,
