Font and FLASH - dynamic api? As3

Hello,

So many of you know that with action script as3 you can use the function

[Embed(source=”C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\somefont.ttf”, fontFamily=”foo”)]

/taken from http://marumushi.com/news/embedding-fonts-in-as3

Can anyone tell me why it could be that when I try to use code similar to that on my system it doesn’t work. Please someone show me an example of how it does works.

BTW AS3

Last I knew that was just a Flex thing. I dunno, could be wrong, I just use the library. But I was under the impression the Embed for fonts only works for Flex.

yeah, I think the same that that only works when compiled with Flex.

Hahaha I’m so dumb! Well is there a way to embed fonts with as3? Or do i have to create a movie clip in the library to hold my text?

you can embed fonts in the library panel so no need to create movieclip holder.

This will work for you in CS4 as it can recognize this Flex syntax with no problem if you use CS4 .

But you will have a problem with the [Embed (source=] ,you need to embed your font in an actual external SWF if not, and you are using the direct .ttf you will have problem there when using it on CS4 , it need some loading variable commend.

that’s a great addition in Flash CS4

So i have CS4 , but I was using cs3 while doing this. So If i use CS4 using the same [embed(source=..” it will compile correctly? Thanks
