CharacterFormat

This is the code, i'm not able to find the problem.... :(

quote:

package classes{

//IMPORTS ####################
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

public class textFlowBuilder extends Sprite {

public var textFlow:TextFlow = new TextFlow;
//create object
public function textFlowBuilder(xmlList:XMLList, w:Number, h:Number) {
//get only the first <textFlow> tag (1 <textFlow> for each <textField>
var xmlText:XML=xmlList[0];
textFlow=TextFilter.importToFlow(xmlText,TextFilter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT);
textFlow.flowComposer.addController(new DisplayObjectContainerController(this, w, h));
textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllContainers();

//create a listener for any click into the textbox (TextFlow);
textFlow.addEventListener("click", linkHandler);
}

//SET STYLE ############################
public function setFlowStyle(styleList:String):void{
var charFormat:CharacterFormat = new CharacterFormat();
var arrStyles:Array = styleList.split(",");

//charFormat prop.
charFormat.fontFamily = arrStyles[0];
charFormat.fontSize = arrStyles[1];
charFormat.color = arrStyles[2];
charFormat.fontWeight = arrStyles[3];
charFormat.fontStyle = arrStyles[4];
charFormat.fontLookup = flash.text.engine.FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
charFormat.kerning = flash.text.engine.Kerning.ON;

//textFlow prop.
textFlow.textAlign = arrStyles[5];

//add format
textFlow.characterFormat = charFormat;

//required to show the style changes
textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllContainers();
}

}//end class
}//end package

I tried this similar example, and it seems to be working:

package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.engine.ElementFormat;
import flash.text.engine.TextBlock;
import flash.text.engine.TextElement;
import flash.text.engine.TextLine;

import flashx.textLayout.elements.TextFlow;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.TextLayoutFormat;
import flashx.textLayout.conversion.TextFilter;
import flashx.textLayout.container.DisplayObjectContainerController;

public class HelloWorld extends Sprite
{
public function HelloWorld()
{
var styleList:String = "Arial,13,0x000000,bold,";

var charFormat:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
var arrStyles:Array = styleList.split(",");

charFormat.fontFamily = arrStyles[0];
charFormat.fontSize = arrStyles[1];
// charFormat.color = arrStyles[2];
charFormat.fontWeight = arrStyles[3];
charFormat.fontStyle = arrStyles[4];
charFormat.fontLookup = flash.text.engine.FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
charFormat.kerning = flash.text.engine.Kerning.ON;

var textFlow:TextFlow = TextFilter.importToFlow("Hi there", TextFilter.PLAIN_TEXT_FORMAT);
textFlow.textLayoutFormat = charFormat;
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(sprite);
textFlow.flowComposer.addController(new DisplayObjectContainerController(sprite, 200, 200));

//required to show the style changes
textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllContainers();
}
}
}

I'm using device fonts, so its a little different, but all the format settings are coming through OK. I wonder if your problems are related to the embedded font? You could try it with a device font and see if it appears as you expect. If so, something is going wrong with the embedding.
