[Xerte] Xerte SA (standalone) anti-aliasing

[Julian Tenney]

Because the icon has a ssetText method which sets the text in its
movieclip

Thought about that, but then why does this work?

page_prev_text_clip = icon.previousSibling.clip();
page_prev_text_clip.setText('<pgcounter_text><B>Page ' + page + ' 

It is overriding the text set in the text property of the icon, so I
figured it has to be targeting the textfield, as you can have only 1 TF
per icon.

Remember: you are trying to talk to the icon not it's textfield:

 

Icon.blah.clip() is an icon, a MovieClip

 

Icon.blah.clip().txt is the text field in there,

Pi to the last digit.

I tried a few script attempts:

page_prev_text_clip = icon.previousSibling.clip();
//page_prev_text_clip.setText('<pgcounter_text><B>Page ' + page + ' of '
+ page_count + '</pgcounter_text>');
//page_prev_text_clip.antiAliasType = "normal";
page_prev_text_clip.setStyle("antiAliasType","normal"); 

No joy.

A real situation, so a method would be great.
Or I can just do a function and pass it the textfield

Nothing is undoable!

 

Either you can set the properties from Xerte using script, or, more
conveniently, you can call some methods in the engine that we can add.
Is this an actual problem you're trying to solve, or speculation?

I had looked at the textfield settings, tried a few things, but no go.
Just wanted to know if I was attempting something undoable in Xerte
before I continued bashing about.

I looked into it. There is quite a lot of detail, but in the end I think
I decided the default settings were in fact pretty optimal for dynamic
text - which we are mostly concerend with. If you embed fonts, those
options might become more meaningful, but, again, you are fine tuning a
pretty good default, if I recall correctly.

 

Read up in the Flash help for the textField.

Archives do not seem to contain the term.

Am I correct in thinking it requires font embedding, and is therefore a
bit frowned upon due to accessiblity issues?

Cheers,

Dave
