Comment on The Knack to Rotating Device Fonts in Flash 10 by John

@Tink

Wrong. If all you wanted was the plain-vanilla embedded fonts with “Dynamic” textfields, you shouldn’t have been reading this article in the first place. Device Fonts is what this entire article is about. Kudos to the author to have discovered such smart techniques.

@Josh Tynjala

Wrong. You weren’t using Device fonts at all. You were either using the default text type, “Static”, which implicitly uses embedded characters by default, or “Dynamic” with the default embedded type, “Anti-alias for Animation” which implicitly uses embedded characters that have been entered into a textfield in the Flash author tool.

Great library…. just cant get it work in CS4.

components doesn’t apear in components. Extenssion Manager says that all is fine and installed.

I can use these by opening example fla file and then copying component to stage, but not very handy way.

Any ideas how to get it work right?

Ok, I’m new to Pipes and the whole querying network data for Flash scene. I have a simple CSV file, created by php, hosted on my server. Can you direct me to a simple tutorial on how to get that CSV data taken from Pipes into Flash?

Thanks.

Finally, my search has ended. Thank you for the post. Sometimes they say an overlooked small dot in your code could throw the whole thing off. In this case it brought everything together.

I’ve been using a few of these components for a while and I love them. I recently used the autoComplete Mangager for a project and it’s working great, except for one quirk: using the arrow keys in the dropdown, in firefox, results in skipping every other entry in the list. Any ideas as to what’s causing this behavior?
