Re: FLASH: FONTS LOST - help !!

[Cheri Harder]

NOooooooo!!!!!!!  That is not what you have to do at all.  Tator, I thought

you got that straightened out a couple months ago!  :-)  Now, listen

carefully.  ha ha ha


All fonts in regular text areas are saved along with your movie "Unless" you

are using text-fields (the text with with the little abc button pushed

in...you know, the one that is a variable field.)  IF you are talking about

the fonts used within the text-field (variable field) then you must simply

check "include all font outlines" and the Flash movie will take care of

them, as well.


In all other cases, the font outlines are automatically included with the

movie.  There is NO need to break the text apart or make into symbols.  This

would be an un-needed bloat to your file size and would make it difficult to

edit.


If you have any trouble with this, please let me take a look at your movie.

Thks!


(besides, turning the text into a symbol doesn't do anything to the font,

anyway.)


Another note, Michael.  If you are authoring on a machine with a certain

font that another machine doesn't have, you cannot "edit the fla" on the

other machine.  Then it will, in fact, lose the text editability.  Once it

is an swf, it will keep its fonts.  No matter where you play it.  Honest.

Just watch the text-box "include all fonts"  and you should be fine.
