Hi List,
I'm trying to use the JGenerator classes to allow me to change
certain text in my flash movies. The text is in a Dynamic TextField
on the stage, using a font that is embedded in the document's library
(and exported for runtime). The textfield is given an instance name.
i just added some simple code to the Generator.java class to change
the text, and so far so good:
// Code lives just after the file object is initialized
Instance instance = file.getMainScript().findInstance
("myTextField");
System.out.println("instance: " + instance);
System.out.println("class: " + instance.getClass());
System.out.println("flashdef: " + instance.def);
System.out.println("class: " +
instance.def.getClass());
if ( instance.def instanceof TextField ) {
TextField tf = (TextField)instance.def;
tf.setInitText("GENERATED!");
}
This works, however, it only lets me use characters that were
embedded in the Dynamic TextField (via the Character options in the
Flash IDE)
I'd like to allow any characters at all, and the text must stay anti-
aliased. The reason i embedd the font in the first place is because
its the only way to keep the text antialiased, even without
JGenerator. (it would also be good if the generated swf only
embedded the characters that were used in the end)
so I tried using some of JGenerators font classes, but this just
makes all my text disappear!
Instance instance = file.getMainScript().findInstance
("lbl_search_for");
System.out.println("instance: " + instance);
System.out.println("class: " + instance.getClass());
System.out.println("flashdef: " + instance.def);
System.out.println("class: " +
instance.def.getClass());
if ( instance.def instanceof TextField ) {
TextField tf = (TextField)instance.def;
tf.setInitText("GeNERATED!");
Font arial = FontDef.load("Arial.fft");
System.out.println("glyphs: " +
arial.getNumGlyph());
System.out.println("index!: " + arial.getIndex
('!'));
System.out.println("index@: " + arial.getIndex
('@'));
tf.setFont(arial, 18);
}
Would definitely appreciate help!
My only requirements are that I can change some text in a flash movie
based on an instance name. So any solution would help, either
changing my code or the way I set my Flash movie up.

PS: the reason i need to do it this way is that the original SWFs
need to be usable without any jgenerator interaction, so i can't put
any jgenerator specific stuff in my movies.
