RE: [FLASHmacromedia] Re: Dynamic text does not bold

Ah, but do you tell Flash to use "device fonts"? If not, the benefit is lost.

Becky

Thanks for the advice, Becky. I only used default fonts which come installed on
everybody's PCs. I used AS3's form class to bold the text.

It is interesting what you said about Adobe. I think their current management
is taking Flash where it should not go. They removed the graphical framework
which used to be built into Flash and made coding so easy and quick. They are
also trying to compete with .NET and others on the back-end. It will never
work.

Adobe also killed homeSite, a software I liked much more than Dreamweaver.
Macromedia was a far more innovative company than Adobe, but Adobe is more
precise and reliable. At the end, reliability is what the customer wants more
than creativity -- see Toyota vs. Honda.

I hope Flash survives Adobe.

I just discovered that Flash refuses to apply the bold attribute to dynamic text fields. If I make a static text field and make it bold, that renders without...

Yes, I do know how to get dynamic bold text. It works exactly the way the documentation says it does. I'd tell you the answer, but you should really ask a bit...

I am a Flash animator, not a programmer. I love the animation part of Flash and have worked with this software for 11 years, but I do not like ActionScript and...

There is no actionscript required, at least, not in AS2. All you have to do is embed the bold characters you expect to need in your dynamic text. The easiest...

You mean I have to specify to Flash that the fonts used are already installed on the client? You seem to know way more about Flash than do I ;-)...

I wouldn't put it that way. What you do is check the "use device fonts" checkbox. This tells Flash to look for the font on the client-side rather than embed...

Wow! You do know way more about this subject than I do. Ideally, I would like to use device fonts on Windows but for other platforms, this just does not work,...
