fontItem.embedVariantGlyphsAvailabilityFlash CS4 Professional. UsagefontItem.embedVariantGlyphs DescriptionProperty; a Boolean value that specifies whether variant glyphs should be output in the font when publishing a SWF file (true) or not (false). Setting this value to true increases the size of your SWF file. The default value is false. Some languages dynamically substitute characters glyphs as you are typing (for example, Thai, Arabic, Hebrew, and Greek). If you are laying out or inputting text in these types of languages, set this property to true. ExamplesFont
symbols that are compatible with flash.text APIs appear in the Library
and the user can manage them directly. However, font symbols that
are compatible with the flash.text.engine (FTE) APIs do not appear
in the Library, so you must manage them manually. The following
function adds a new font to the Library that can be used with the
FTE APIs.
function embedFontSymbol(symbolName, fontName, includeVariants) {
var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
if (doc) {
// look up the item. if it exists, delete it.
var index = doc.library.findItemIndex(symbolName);
if (index > -1)
doc.library.deleteItem(symbolName);
// make a new font symbol in the library
doc.library.addNewItem('font', symbolName);
// look up the symbol by its name
var index = doc.library.findItemIndex(symbolName);
if (index > -1) {
// get the item from the library and set the attributes of interest
var fontObj = doc.library.items[index];
fontObj.isDefineFont4Symbol = true;
fontObj.font = fontName;
fontObj.bold = false;
fontObj.italic = false;
fontObj.embedVariantGlyphs = includeVariants;
// this is what forces the font into the SWF stream
fontObj.linkageExportForAS = true;
fontObj.linkageExportInFirstFrame = true;
}
}
}
The following function displays all the font
symbols in the Output panel.
function dumpFontSymbols()
{
var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
if (doc) {
var items = doc.library.items;
fl.trace("items length = " + items.length);
var i;
for(i=0; i<items.length; i++) {
var item = items[i];
fl.trace("itemType = " + item.itemType);
if (item.itemType == 'font') {
fl.trace("name = " + item.name);
fl.trace("DF4 symbol = " + item.isDefineFont4Symbol);
fl.trace("font = " + item.font);
}
}
}
