Using device fonts (horizontal text only)

When you create text, you can specify that the Flash Player use device fonts to display certain text blocks, so that Flash does not embed the font for that text. This can decrease the file size of the movie and increase legibility at text sizes below 10 points.

When working with horizontal text, you can specify that text set in device fonts be selectable by users viewing your movie. See “About embedded fonts and device fonts” on page 136.

To specify that text be displayed using a device font:

1 Select text blocks on the Stage containing text that you want to display using a device font.
2 Choose Window > Properties.
3 In the Property inspector, choose Static Text from the pop-up menu.
4 Select Use Device Fonts.

To make horizontal text selectable by a user:

1 Select the horizontal text that you want to make selectable by a user.
2 Choose Window > Properties.
3 In the Property inspector, choose Static Text from the pop-up menu.
4 If the text is not already specified as using a device font, select Use Device Fonts.
5 Click Selectable.

Setting dynamic and input text options

The Property inspector lets you specify options that control the way dynamic and input text appears in the Flash movie.

To set options for dynamic and input text:

1 Click inside an existing dynamic text field.

To create a new dynamic text field, see “Creating text” on page 136.

2 In the Property inspector, make sure Dynamic or Input is displayed in the pop-up menu. Set any of the following options:

• For Instance Name, enter the instance name for the text field.

• Choose Multiline to display the text in multiple lines, Single Line to display the text as one line, or Multiline No Wrap to display text in multiple lines that break only if the last character is a breaking character, such as Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).

• Select the Render text as HTML button to preserve rich text formatting, such as fonts and hyperlinks, with the appropriate HTML tags. For more information, see “Preserving rich text formatting” under Help > Using Flash.
