superscript/subscript character/text in AS3

[nITiNkIlLeRmEeRuT]

Hi,

As shown in the demo I am trying to create a sample to make a character superscript/scbscript but don't know what is required to create this functionality.

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/demos/

Can some provide any sample code for the same.

Thanks for any help.

as far as i know, you still have to fake it using specialized fonts.  files are attached (i hope).

no, two attach failures.

the files are here:  www.kglad.com/Files/superscript.zip

Thanks for your reply kglad.

But for this I will have to embed the characters/font. In the sample it seems to work with device text.

I think (not sure though) it has something to do with the baseline

Unable to find any sample/tutorial which explains this

To confirm what I said I pasted a special character in editor from character map and applied superscript which worked fine.So for sure the method does not require font embedding.

The problem is solved. FTE components have to be used for this.

var ca:CharacterFormat = new CharacterFormat();
ca.baselineShift = flashx.textLayout.formats.BaselineShift.SUPERSCRIPT;

Still stuck on how to apply on a character and not on whole text.

Hey man, I'm doing the same thing now.  you HAVE to use the text flow  with the TLF

E.g:  one word "hello" and another word "hello" as superscript

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextFlow fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="16" paddingBottom="2" paddingLeft="2" paddingRight="2" paddingTop="2" whiteSpaceCollapse="preserve" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008">
     <p><span>hello </span><span baselineShift="superscript">hello</span></p>
</TextFlow>

just download the TLF examples from adobe and paste the code above into a textflow example

Hello,

I am also facing the issue with super scripts.Is anybody have any idea with  how to load a super script in the flash text field.

thanks

since 2009 when this post was accurately answered (at that time), adobe has added the textlayoutframework (tlf) to flash.  tlf supports subscripts and superscripts.

Now that Adobe has depreciated TLF text are we back to having to use superscript fonts?
