398 Working with Text and Strings
Using fonts
Fonts are sets of characters with a similar font face, style, and size. No matter what you create
using Flash Basic 8 or Flash Professional 8, you will probably use text with at least one or two
fonts in your Flash applications. If you build animations, and you are not sure if your end
users will have a specific font installed on their systems, you need to understand the basics
about embedding fonts.
The following sections show you how to embed characters, entire fonts, shared fonts, and
other techniques for working with fonts in Flash 8.
For more information on fonts, see the following sections:
■
“Embedding characters” on page 399
■
“Embedding fonts” on page 400
■
“Creating custom character sets” on page 402
■
“Using TextField methods with embedded fonts” on page 404
■
“About sharing fonts” on page 406
The following example shows you how to add and remove embedded characters and character
sets in a Flash document.
To add and remove embedded characters and character sets:
1.
Create a new Flash document and save it as embedding.fla .
2.
Create a dynamic text field on the Stage by using the Text tool.
3.
Click Embed to launch the Character Embedding dialog box.
4.
Select a specific character set to embed by clicking it with your mouse pointer.
To select multiple character sets, you can use the Shift or Control key while selecting items
with your mouse pointer. To select a block of character sets, select a character set with your
mouse pointer, press and hold Shift, and click a new character set. Using Shift selects every
character set between the two selected character sets. To select multiple non-sequential
character sets, press and hold the Control key while you select character sets. You can also
quickly select multiple character sets by selecting a character set with your mouse, and
with the mouse button still held down, drag your mouse over multiple character sets.
5.
To remove a specific character set that you added earlier, press and hold the Control key
and deselect the character set by clicking it with your mouse pointer.
6. To remove every selected character set and any specified characters in the Include these
characters text input field, click Don’t Embed.
