| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
The name of an embedded font.
Implementation
public function get fontName():StringExample ( How to use this example )
The following example shows how you can use an embedded font with the Flash Professional ActionScript 3.0 CheckBox control by setting the textFormat and embedFonts styles.
Example provided by
ActionScriptExamples.com.
// Requires:
// - A CheckBox control UI component in Flash library.
// - An embedded font in Flash library with linkage class "MyFont" and Export for ActionScript checked.
//
import fl.controls.CheckBox;
var embeddedFont:Font = new MyFont();
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
textFormat.font = embeddedFont.fontName;
textFormat.size = 24;
var checkBox:CheckBox = new CheckBox();
checkBox.setStyle("textFormat", textFormat);
checkBox.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
checkBox.label = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";
checkBox.textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
checkBox.move(10, 10);
checkBox.validateNow();
addChild(checkBox);

Method Detail
enumerateFonts | () | method |
public static function enumerateFonts(enumerateDeviceFonts:Boolean = false):Array| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Specifies whether to provide a list of the currently available embedded fonts.
Parameters
enumerateDeviceFonts:Boolean (default = false)true then a list of all fonts, both device fonts and embedded fonts, is returned.
If this is set to false then only a list of embedded fonts is returned.
|
Array — A list of available fonts as an array of Font objects.
|
Example ( How to use this example )
This example first calls the static method
Font.enumerateFonts()
to get a list of all device and embedded fonts. Then it sorts the resulting Array of Font objects
by the fontName property.
Next the example shows how to call the Font.enumerateFonts() method with the
enumerateDeviceFonts parameter set to false. The resulting Array only includes
embedded Font objects. (If you run this code within an application that does not contain
any embedded fonts, the embeddedFonts array will be empty.)
import flash.text.Font;
var allFonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(true);
allFonts.sortOn("fontName", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
var embeddedFonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(false);
embeddedFonts.sortOn("fontName", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
hasGlyphs | () | method |
public function hasGlyphs(str:String):Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9, Flash Lite 4 |
Specifies whether a provided string can be displayed using the currently assigned font.
Parameters
str:String — The string to test against the current font.
|
Boolean — A value of true if the specified string can be fully displayed using this font.
