Just what I needed :-) I was researching a lot about these font managers the last days, just to find out that the smaller opensource version of the flex sdk doesn't support opentype fonts.. Must have forgotten that in the last years without sdk updates.. Thanks for this property list. Just what I needed :-)

]]> Comment on Runtime Font Publisher; A Flash CS4 Extension. by Johannes http://blog.johannest.com/2009/09/28/runtime-font-publisher-a-flash-cs4-extension/comment-page-1/#comment-226 Johannes Thu, 11 Feb 2010 01:07:58 +0000 http://blog.johannest.com/?p=36#comment-226 Hi Mauricio, Thanks, glad you think the extension will be an aid for you. As for your question. The document class for the SWF that contains the runtime font definitions has logic that registers the fonts embedded in the SWF. BulkLoader can still be used to load the SWF. The font will be ready to access when the SWF has finished loading and the document class has been instantiated. To access the font at runtime, use the name that you specify in the Font name field of the extension. The document class also has an array called fonts with a collection of all the fonts that have been embedded within that particular font SWF. Hi Mauricio,

It seems like a great aid for us. I'm having a heck of a time trying to embed an OpenType font by other means. I have a question about your method: If I have already uploaded the swf file generated by your extension by other means (for several reasons I'm using the BulkLoader class for all my uploads), how can I access the font itself? Thank you so much Hi,

The section on frame execution does a great job of explaining the differences between frames as a visual frame versus frames as a unit of time. http://www.senocular.com/flash/tutorials/orderofoperations/#FrameExecution In addition to that, the whole tutorial is great. Hope that helps! Hi Lorenzo,

I've done a little research on this argument; the two key concepts are: - SWF Frame: it's the logical unit that contains graphical code and as code - Flash Player Frame: it's the time interval used by Flash runtime to update the screen and defined by frameRate property So the sequence you describe belongs to Flash Player Frame, I suppose. Ok? If so, I have a little question for you. Could you explain me the relationship bewteen these two concepts? In particular, how are they paired together? Thank you very much. Best regards.

I think it would be really useful to people looking at the language reference.
