How Do I Embed Fonts

[shamess]

How can i embed fonts into my library?

[Mctittles]

In the library window click on the little options symbol in the top right. Choose "New Font". Pick your font and give it a name.
Then in your actionscript say your font is named "myFONT" and your textField is named "george":

someNewFormat= new TextFormat();
someNewFormat.font = "myFONT";

george.embedFonts = true;
george.setNewTextFormat(someNewFormat);

where do i place that Actionscript?

[Mctittles]

Same frame your textfield is on. Can be on another layer.

[Mctittles]

That's for embeding fonts for dynamic or input textfields that will be used more than once. If you only need to export the fonts for one dynamic field, in the properties for that field, click the "character" button and choose the ones you want to export.

thanks man!

if i just have the font in my library won't it just automatically link to it like in Quark?

[Mctittles]

No it won't automatically link to it. What do you mean by "Quark"...like the text layout editor thing?

[shamess]

yeah.
