Dynamic Text Embed Fonts 2

[sherwoodclark]

I can't get dynamic text to work with embedded fonts.
I put a dynamic text field, 'my_txt' on the stage and entered 'Sample Text' into the text field with Arial 12 pt bold. I then clicked on 'Embed...' and included upper and lower case characters. The text shows up fine when I test movie; however, if I change the text with Actionscript:

my_txt.text = 'New Text';

the text disappears. Even if I reassign 'Sample Text' to the text field:

my_txt.text = 'Sample Text';

it does not display.

What am I doing wrong?

Have you enabled the BOLD tab in your textfield's properties^

Yes, I had bold enabled in the authoring environment.

Removing that fixed the problem.

Thanks!!!

One last question.

How do I bold the text? If I issue a setTextFormat in actionscript with a bold TextFormat, the text disappears again. I assume I have to embed bold fonts, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Thanks.(-:

Try in the TextField property panel put the Bold back on but disable (evil) Auto Kerning.
