Question

Using Text Framework SWF publishing very slow

Hi so I started to use the Text Framework on a project that I'm working on, I'm using the Flash CS4 component and one of the class examples that was provided. I added the class to my application the text works fine and everything however publishing the SWF file takes a very long time both on PC and Mac.

By very long time I mean a couple of minutes which was not the case before I added the class also if I remove it everything is fine. Some times I even get no reponones errors on my PC.

Does any one have any idea what's causing this?

On last thing Hebrew works on PC (when running the flash app via the web) based computer but on Mac it does not, I'm not sure if this is the font or the Text Framework still being beta, if you have ideas, best practice anything please let me know.

Thanks

The Flash Component you're seeing is an early prototype, and is indeed quite slow. I think this will be much improved when its completed. You may want to see our more recent drops, as part of Flex 4 Open Source. You can take the textLayout.SWC library and use it in Flash project. It should work much better, although there is no UI for this yet (the original Flash Component won't work with the new textLayout.SWC).

It's not clear to me exactly what the Hebrew problems are that you are seeing. There were bugs with handling text events for some languages, and these are now fixed in the Player, although some browsers on the Mac are still having problems. The fallback fonts for the Mac (a font that gets used when the glyph it needs to draw is missing from the specified font) are now better as well. I would suggest downloading the beta of Flash Player 10.1 at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ and trying it out with the new textLayout.SWC. Please report if you are still seeing problems.

Thanks!
