[osflash] Problem embedding fonts with AS3

[Arnoud Bos]

Hi,

 

I think you can only embed true type fonts this way.

With otf fonts you should use flash and referencethe resulting swf.

Hi there,

When building my AS3 project using Flex SDK (2)  I get the following
error...

rake aborted!
[ERROR] D:\workspace\flash\Dashboard
ComparisonChart\project\src\app\helpers\typography\Typography.as(10): col:
4: Error: Embed is only supported on classes and member variables. 

        [Embed(source="../../../../assets/fonts/LBIFedra-Regular.otf",
fontName="LBiFedra",
unicodeRange="U+0020-U+002F,U+0030-U+0039,U+003A-U+0040,U+0041-U+005A,U+005B
-U+0060,U+0061-U+007A,U+007B-U+007E")]; 
         ^

I've a file that holds information for all embedded fonts called
Typography.as

It has the following relevant lines of code...

        public static const FEDRA : String = "Fedra"; 
        
        [Embed(source="../../../../assets/fonts/Fedra-Regular.otf",
fontName="Fedra",
unicodeRange="U+0020-U+002F,U+0030-U+0039,U+003A-U+0040,U+0041-U+005A,U+005B
-U+0060,U+0061-U+007A,U+007B-U+007E")]; 
        
        public static var Fedra : Class;

I'm calling the in a view that has a function for formatting and displaying
text...

    private function createTitle() : void {
            title = new TextField(); 
            title.text = title_text;
            title.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
            title.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
            
            var tf : TextFormat = new TextFormat(); 
            tf.size = 12;
            tf.bold = true;
            tf.font = Typography.FEDRA;
            title.setTextFormat(tf);
            
            addChild(title);
    }

I've not managed to embed any fonts and I want them to be included at
compile-time. 

Is there anything glaringly obvious that I'm doing wrongly here?

TIA

Alex.
