[Xerte] Xerte SA (standalone) anti-aliasing

Mon Dec 14 13:18:13 GMT 2009

OK, compiled Arial.ttf's into a resources.swf.
The font in that disp is being set by css:

ss16_text
{
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica;
  font-size:16px;
  color: #000000;
  display: inline;
}

If I set embedFonts to 1 on the disp icon, the text disappears.
My resources.swf is failing?

What’s setStyle()? Not one of mine…

iconID.txt is the textfield, yes. Debug(myIcon.txt); or even
debug(typeof(myIcon.txt));

txt is the default textfield label then?

I had tried adding .txt and no change.

Does embedFonts have to be set 1 for the setStyle to function?

You can have more than one
tf, but you need to create them yourself (icon.createTextField…)

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
