Can't select desired font for preloader?

[Atarian]

One of the main reasons I bought v4 (just purchased a half hour ago, already in love with it), was to use a desired font in my preloader. But when I go to select it, it's not there.

The font I want to use is Helvetica Neue Condensed Black. Now, Helvetica Neue shows up in the list, but the only styles I have to choose from are regular/bold/italic/bold italic.

Is there a way to use the Condensed Black version?

I attached a screenshot to show what I'm talking about.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi.
I think the problem is that the "Condensed Black" style is not a regular font style.

is there any way to edit the font to work? It is a separate font file.

Not that I'm aware of (in a way that will work with Flix).

ok, i got it. i opened the font in Font Creator 5.0, and changed all the info, then saved it under a different name, and now it works.

One more question can i change the loading screen to read like this?

[loading #%]


I want to put those brackets around it.

You can't customize the preload text, just the font.

ok thanks

I decompiled the .swf and opened the .fla in flash. I was able to make it say "#% loaded]"

I cant get the bracket on the front though. Will flix ever let us control the actionscript? or is there any way to edit the actionscript before flix compiles the swf?

The ability to edit the text is on the wish list for future versions.
