Embedded CFF Fonts in an AS3 only Flash Project

[AdrianParr]

Hi,

I am working on a Flash CS4 AS3 only project (no Flex involved) and I need to embed a font.

I am linking to the 'TextLayout.swc' to have access to all the TLF classes.

To use embeded fonts I understand I need to set the TextFlow fontLookup property.

E.g.

myTextFlow.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;

However, the FontLookup class that has the Public Constant EMBEDDED_CFF is in the package flash.text.engine

Where do I get this package from? Do I need to link to another SWC from the Flex 4 SDK like I did with the 'TextLayout.swc'?

If so, which SWC has this class in it?

Cheers,

Adrian

It's part of the Player, so there's nothing special you need to link against for it. It's like a Sprite, it's built into the Player.

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the reply.

The reason I was getting an error message was because I wasn't importing the correct Class at the top of my Document Class.

What I needed was ...

import flash.text.engine.FontLookup;

Many thanks,

Adrian
