Flash Tutorial - Mask on TextField



Creating a TextField in your flash movie is very easy. Basically, you can do most of the settings via the Flash editor UI, e.g. change the text color, font size... etc. However, if you put your text under a mask (or a clip that contain a text field under a mask), you may run into a problem. Your text does not appear in the final movie!

In order for the text to show up, you need to embed the font into your movie. You can do so via the Flash editor UI OR if you've created the textfield in actionscripts, you can do so with the following code:

 

// assuming that you've created a textfield "tf"
tf.embedFonts = true;

 

The issue is easy to solve if you have your text in english. But if you are using non-english text, you may not be able to embed the corresponding font. The work around is to avoid the masking (if possible).
