Rotate dynamic text box

[narender_raul]

I can load text into a dynamic text box when it is on the main
timeline. It's work fine. I want to rotate dynamic text box. I don't want use the XML. Only text file.

But when I place the dynamic text box inside a movieclip, I can't get
the text too load into the dynamic text box which is inside a
movieclip. I want to rotate the dynamic text box, but not show the
external text. I am using fl 3.0. I have use character embedding, it's work, but make file size large.Any other way to do that.
How i can solve the problem. please provide any sample or url.


Thanks
Raul

Umm...Its Easy ...Just Put That Dynamic Text Into A Movie Clip And Place This Code in the main timeline :

loadVariables("data.txt", _root.mc);

Suppose data.txt is the file from which u hav to load a variable (And It is placed in ur swf file directory) .And mc is the movie clip in which ur dynamic text is placed.


It works fine for a text file not sure about XML but it Have to work...

Dynamic text will not show correctly when rotated. The solution to this is to embed the glyphs for that field from the Properties Panel.

The reason given for this is that the Flash Lite player understands the outlines of device fonts only.

So if you are using a font (lets say Arial) that doesn't exist in the device, the player won't render it, and automatically change it to display a device font. And if your text field is rotated, the phone won't even display the device font, as FL does not support device fonts on rotated text. So to make your font show correctly, it is best to embed the glyphs.

Embedding will increase file size..but the solution is to use light weight pixel fonts rather than the fancier ones which not only take up more memory while rendering, but also increase file size and don't guarantee complete legibility when seen on device in smaller sizes.
