[Xerte] Using stylesheet in Xerte3

[Julian Tenney]

That's good detective work, nice one,

 

So now you've solved all your problems, can we see your learning object?

OK never mind.

 

This is very cool:

 

Create a style.css with

 

@font-face {

  src: url("media/myfontfile.ttf");

  fontFamily: MyFont;

  embedAsCFF: false;

}

.header{

  color:#ff0000;

  fontFamily: "MyFont";

}

 

Compile the stylesheet, include it in Xerte and add the property
"styleName: header" to a TextFieldIcon of your choice. You get a
TextField using your special font, even if the user does not have the
font on his/her computer. That is extremely useful for me cause I'm
using a Handwriting font for some of my content. So COOL!

To reduce the filesize of you styles.swf you can even tell flash which
characters to embed. E.g.:

 

@font-face {

  src: url("media/myfontfile.ttf");

  fontFamily: MyFont;

  embedAsCFF: false;    

  unicodeRange:

        U 0041-U 005A, /* Upper-Case [A..Z] */

        U 0061-U 007A, /* Lower-Case a-z */

        U 0030-U 0039, /* Numbers [0..9] */

        U 002E-U 002E; /* Period [.] */

}

I don't know. Can you get it to work using Flex directly?

OK, this works now - with one small question from my side:

 

I can apply styles I defined like .test { color: #ff0000; } now using
the styleName property of a textfield. What does not work is using the
<span class="test">My Text</span> syntax (which is more flexible, thus
you can use multiple styles on a single textfield). I looked in the code
and saw that you are using the StyleManager class, but I'm not totally
sure if and how to use that for the class setting inside textfields.
Perhaps I have to include something in the styleSheet property of the
TextFieldIcon?! Do you have an idea.

That's the problem - my older SDK swfs can't load your newer SDK swfs.

I used the one under "Stable Builds", but now downloaded the "Milestone
Release". Will try it in a second.

That's interesting. Your styles.swf works for me, too!

 

I use flex_sdk_4.1.0.16076 to compile it. Strange, as soon as I compile
it, it does not work. I attached mine, but I guess it won't work on your
computer, too.
