dynamic text font issue

[Trippin13]

Hi,

I am using dynamic text to load text from a file (txt or xml) but everytime I embed the font the text wont load but when I dont embed works fine ... what's the deal with embeding with loading from external files and how to overcome this ? I use
loadVariables (_root.pathToText, "about"); this is just the basic one for loading. Any ideas?

Also what's the trick for "input" fonts? i used pixel fonts as input fields for a form but the advice that works for dynamic fonts (from sticky - embed, position x,y, .0,.0 etc) doesn't apply , fonts are always blury and bold??? any ideas ?

Cheers

Sounds as if something is wrong with your code. Please show us your code and we can try to help you out.

But that is the whole thing

_root.pathToText = "mycontent/about.txt";
myInterval1 = setInterval (checkLoadStatus1,1000);
function checkLoadStatus1(){
if (true){ loadVariables (_root.pathToText, "about");
}
}

Loads text fine from a .txt file but if I try to embed font it wont work ... I embed through flash , option - character - embed range and that's it ... works if dynamic field contains text in flash but when it pulls the text from the file suddenly the field is blank.

I thought it might be that I need to embed via actionscript which I tried as well but it didn't work.

myText.embedFonts = true;
var tf = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "microN55";
// in library there is a Font symbol with this export id.
tf.size = 8;

text formating works for the text that was manually put in the dynamic field (like "loading...") and then when it pulls the text from a file it switches back to default ...?


Any ideas ? Thanks for your help

Try load the text into the textfield using the textfield's text property.

For example:

myTextfield.text = dynamic text;

Does it work now?

u mean myText.text = "dynamic text"; ?

But that's not the point my question was how can u embed font with loading content from external files ???

I need to keep external files there is a lot of content ...
