Change fonts issue on runtime

Question

Hi

I have load system fonts and I wanna change fonts in my dynamic textbox but it dosen't work,

here the main issue is when you change font text goes unvisible

here my code

import fl.data.DataProvider;

import flash.text.TextField;

import flash.text.TextFormat;

import flash.text.Font;

var fonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(true).sortOn("fontName");

var fonts_array:Array = new Array();

for (var i:int = 0; i < fonts.length; i++) {

fonts_array.push(new String(fonts.fontName));

}

var dp:DataProvider=new DataProvider(fonts_array)

font_list.dataProvider = dp

font_list.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, change_font);

sampletext.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE,change_text);

function change_font(event:Event):void {

var font:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

font.font = new String(font_list.selectedItem.data);

displayer.setTextFormat(font);

}

function change_text(event:Event) {

displayer.text = sampletext.text;

}

apart from the fact that your app won`t work the way you intend,

since flash can`t simply access the users systemfonts and use them in a textfield:

you only have embedded a subset of chatracters in your Result field.

You have to embed every possible charcter if you want to gurantee it displayed.

Also: The change_font event somehow seems to clear the variable which holds the sample text.
