embedding characters at run-time

[rolan18]

I was just wondering if you can create a text field at run-time and embed characters into that textfield.

I'm trying to use the _rotation command and unless I create a textfield before run-time and embed the character sets that I'll allow into it, the text will not show up.


Any ideas?

i very much doubt that will work

much easier just to place a couple of static text fields well off stage that use the character sets to add some text

fonts are then embedded although file size is increased

I have had the same problem, I tried creating the text in a new MovieClip, then tried rotating the MovieClip, but that didn't work either...

TextField.embedFonts = true;

By the way you can rotate dynamically created TextField with no problems.
