Re: Font embedding into Flash IDE
Eddie,
I'm not entirely sure if I understand your question correctly but I'll
tell you what we do and perhaps it will help.
Instead of just making a swf that is nothing more than the font, we take
our original swf made with the Flash IDE that has been designed such
that it
does not have the font embedded, but still refers to the font in the
text fields.
So we'd create a file (mov.xml) that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<movie version="8" width="728" height="90" framerate="24">
<background color="#FFFFFF"/>
<frame>
<library>
<clip id="image01" import="some.png" />
<font name="font1" import="georgia.ttf" />
</library>
<clip id="template" import="original.swf" />
<place id="template" depth="0" />
</frame>
</movie>
Where in this example we are also embedding and image named some.png
that will have the id image01. The swf created in flash, in this case,
original.swf would have it's text fields reference a font named "font1".
We'd then run:
swfmill simple mov.xml final.swf
Actually in our case .. we'd really do this:
swfmill simple mov.xml temp.swf
swfmill swf2xml temp.xml
// ... in here we execute some code on the xml to customize things
swfmill swf2xml temp.xml final.swf
Hope this helps. I don't really know much more than that, being a novice
myself at swfmill and flash. (I'm a back-end programmer)

To: swfmill@...
I have just completed every thread about font embedding and didnt find a
working solution. I am trying to embed fonts by using the following xml
file:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<movie width="320" height="240" framerate="12">
<frame>
<library>
<font id="EstaBold" import="EstaBold.ttf"/>
</library>
</frame>
</movie>
(swfmill simple "font.xml" "font.swf")
The fonts are imported into the font.swf file, for sure. None of the
related
threads shows a working explanation of how to embed the fonts into a swf
created by the Flash IDE.
Many of the threads are outdated, what is today's solution?
Greetings,
Eddie
