Question

A Combo box has robbed me of my font!

Here's a good one for you ...

I have a textFlow running through columns with a nice embedded font. Looks lovely. I then decide to add a completely unrelated Combo box to my app ... and now the textFlow doesn't render with the font. Comment out the combo and the font returns.

I don't even know where to start with that one.

I ran some tests and even with a completely dumb combo added with no DP it robs me of my font.

This is now officially MENTAL!

I don't know what might cause this, but assuming its a Flex ComboBox you could try asking this on the Flex forum (http://forums.adobe.com/community/flex/flex_general_discussion). If you can supply a small code example that would help as well.

What happened to the text? Does it now appear in the wrong font, or does it not appear at all?

Hi Robin. I believe that this may be related to the Combo Box (which is a Spark combo) overriding my default TextFlow configuration. Here's how I'm formatting my TextFlow ...


I'll run some tests to see if I can format the TF without using a default config.
