What isnt my textfield showing in OSx only?

1

I used firefox and ie7 on my windows machine, and this textfield with a xml title works great.

_global.fabricname_info = titleHolder.attachMovie("fabricname_info", "fabricname_info", 0);
fabricname_info.createTextField("fabric_name",0,-160,-45,325,40);//create Textfield in title_bg
fabricname_info.fabric_name.text = theTitle;
var nameformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();//start format for fabric name 
nameformat.size = theTitle_Size;
nameformat.color = 0x666666;
nameFormat.font = "Book Antiqua-12";
fabricname_info.fabric_name.setTextFormat(nameformat);
fabricname_info.fabric_name.embedFonts = true;
fabricname_info.fabric_name.border = false;

I used safari, and firefox on osx and the title doesnt show.
And this isnt the only textfield in the flash site. The rest of the similarily loaded textfields work fine.

if you have osx try it, click a fabric, and look for the top title.

That is very weird - didn’t show on my Mac with Opera, Safari and Firefox - but did show on Windows with IE & Opera…hmmm

also…holy long time to load the site.

it is weird. doesnt make any sense to me. I’ve updated the flash players.

yea i know it takes too long to load. I really like the noise in the background, but i guess i must sacrifice it and use a vector gradient or something.

Sorry, I wish I had an answer as to why that might be happening. If it was just not working in IE, we could just blame IE…but this is something totally different :lol:

well it turns out it was the embedFonts = true;

I guess you cant embed book antiqua? But all the other textfields are embeded book antiqua… exactly the same way!!!

gragh!

Wow…now that makes absolutely zero sense. Glad you got it figured though :thumb:
