dynamically embedding fonts

[kristof]

is there anyone who can help me with this problem?

Sfont is a font in the library which puts a linkage identifier to a pixelfont (peterpan)
the linkage identifier is = Sfont
As 2.0 class is nothing (tried this but doesn't seem to change anything
export for actionscript is on
export in first frame is on

i used to make this font embedded in FLash MX, now in FLASH MX 2004 there are some problems...  

following code as i would say, has to work, but it doesn't...

myformat = new TextFormat();
myformat.color = 0x0ff000;   --> change this and the color changes
myformat.type = dynamic;
myformat.embedFonts = true;
myformat.font = "Sfont";
myformat.multiline = true;
myformat.wordWrap = true;
myformat.selectable = false; -->still selectable?

_root.languageMC.createTextField("mytext",20,0,0,300,100);
_root.languageMC.mytext.text = "text";
_root.languageMC.mytext.setTextFormat(myformat);

i get a textbox, but not with the requested font... if i change the color for instance, the color does change, but why won't he set the FONT?

thx

Hi Kristof, welcome to the Boards !

The selectable property is from the TextField, not the text format. Try adding:

_root.languageMC.createTextField("mytext",20,0,0,300,100);
_root.languageMC.mytext.embedFonts = true
_root.languageMC.mytext.text = "text";
_root.languageMC.mytext.setTextFormat(myformat);
