Using external fonts for dynamic data

[ba_flasher]

Hi, first of all, I'm not a flasher myself, but my flash guy is having some difficulties with a project I asigned to him.

He has to create this nav bar wich has dynamic text, wich is loaded from an external XML file. No problem so far.

The problem is that this information (coming from the XML) has to be rendered in a pixel font (standard 7_55), with antialias turned OFF. It seem that in systems wich don't have the font installed, the text is rendered with times new roman or some other crap.

What I'd like to know is if this is possible, embedding the font in flash and render the dynamic text with it, with no antialias.

We're using Flash MX. Thanks a lot.

make it dynamic then embed it!!

for a look of a non anti alias (in pixel fonts) just align the textfield (x,y) position to the nearest integer.. ex(7,5) not (7.2,5.6)

But I must warn you that it might not work for some pixel fonts...
If it's some like 8pt-16pt it should be ok! If not change the size of the font realign again...

Other restrictions also apply!
Left justified textfield only.
Textfield cannot be scaled and should be 100% across.
If textfield is nested in movie clips (seems to be your case), clips must also be on exact pixels coordinates.

Ooops..Exactly!! That was a kind of "integer" explanation...mine was a little blurry!
