Sometimes, when I work with text … and when I export to .swf file, the letters like D O Q R … capital letters or not, get filled with the color the text is written by. Also, when it gets filled I don’t know what to do to appear normaly.
Who has a clue about what’s happening ?
What kind of font are you using?
Is that a TrueType font?
this has happened to me before, and i cant remember what i did, but i think it was generally when i either broke apart the font into shapes…or i had the font set really small…so i have just tried to avoid using those scenarios…
Yes … it’s true type font … and if i remember correct … it didn’t matter what font it was.
Also … i didn’t breack the font into shapes … neither is it small.
and sorry 4 my slow response
I’ve had that problem once when trying a truetype font that I got off the internet. Even though the font I was using was ‘free’, it must be protected from use in some programs. That’s my guess anyway. However, if it’s happening to you with ALL your fonts, especially system fonts (arial, courier, times new roman, tahoma, etc.) then I would think something is messed up with Flash and you should try reinstalling the software.
That’s my guess.
[edit]
You might also want to go look at your fronts from the folder that they are in. Maybe something is graphically messed up with your fonts.[/edit]
The think is … that only the .swf file has the fonts filled. In the source file .fla it’s normal, how it should look, no fills at all.
Yep - same thing happened to me with that font I got from the internet. I wound up using a different font. Yet I’m very lazy. I still think it’s some sort of encryption thing so you have to pay for the font, but I have no idea how that would possibly be. It’s just a guess.
Come to think of it, I have another font called ‘agent orange’ that is a ‘free’ font that I got from a free font website that will not work in Word - at all. Nothing. So, I don’t know.
It is because it is a pixel font not made for Flash.
Flash is picky with pixel fonts, they need to fall on EXACT pixels, otherwise they anti-alias and sometimes get filled. Pixel fonts usually built for Photoshop don’t fall on exact pixels, but are still able to work well in Photoshop, but Flash doesn’t allow for that, so you need to use a true pixel font, although some photoshop pixel fonts work in Flash, you are most likely better off with a pixel font specially made for Flash.
well … thanks for your help … I’m gonna try to be carefull on what fonts i’ll choose.
all my best
