emded fonts with media player skins

[rocker101]

is there a way to embed fonts with the media player skins?


the fonts are coming out differently on media players when viewed on Mac than PC.....so I am guessing it is an embedding issue.

any tips?

cheers

Media player skins are mostly images.
Do you mean the font used for the playlist ?

yes

I will let Wilbert respond. If I remember correctly, the trick is to put an invisible text box on the stage (maybe just off stage) with an embedded font.

You can embed a font using the symbol library.
If you have embedded the verdana font and your mediaplayer is named mediaplayer1, the code you need should like this

mediaplayer1.playlist.listItem.label.embedFonts = true;
mediaplayer1.playlist.listItem.label.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat('Verdana');
mediaplayer1.playlist.listItem.update();
