this.createTextField(“welcome_txt”,1,2,2,550,50);
welcome_txt.text=“ACESGRNTD”;
style=new TextFormat();
style.font=“main”;
welcome_txt.setTextFormat(style);
welcome_txt.embedFonts=true;

and the text its self is setup as dynamic text, multiline, embeded font and its set as bitmap text (no anti alias)
but like i said it just does not appear when the mc plays in the published swf.
and no the color of the text is not the same as the background, its green text over a black background. well is there somethhing im missing or not doing right cause i need to get this font workin cause it suits my project other then ne other font does. also the font im using is BankGothic Md BT.

Does the font show up when you don’t embed the fonts?
as in

welcome_txt.embedFonts = false;

I’ve dealt with this problem in the past by adding a font to the library and then exporting it for actionscript in the first frame…

  • click on that little icon in the top right corner of the library panel
  • hit New Font…
  • choose the font you want to use, OK
  • right click on the font in the library, Linkage…
  • Check ‘Export for ActionScript’
  • If name in identifier is different than the name of your font, you have to use the identifier name in

style.font = “main”; // replace ‘main’ with your linkage id

which brings up another question… why are you using ‘main’ as the font name when you said the font was ‘BankGothic Md BT’ ?

thanks for that it worked, but one thing idlike to know now is how do i do the same thing for an input text box so i can use that font for when the users entering things in the input text box
