Grupo W @ badFonts group [ Flash CS4 text properties issue ]
Using the Flash CS4 i had a little problem… everytime i tried to use the text tool, either flash crashed after or before even putting the text box on stage.
Thinking it was a flash bug i google search it… i found this.
i read only a few top posts and found that the issue was the computer performance, but then David here at W has the same computer as me. After formatting my pc flash was running ok, so there, problem fixed!
BUT when i put all of my stuff back in, again flash was doing the same thing. After a few hairs pulled and desks banged, we discover that it was the fonts i installed in the pc the day before, and going back to the link i found , reading all of the posts, Raúl found that same solution posted there.
What did we learn from this?
1: you don’t need to install every font you find.
2: read a little more before taking actions with the first post you find XD so you don’t have to format your computer in vain. XD
wowFlag [flarToolkit + pv3d + wowEngine]
As promised on youtube: here it’s the source
( thx to saqoosha for the help on the flarToolkit issue of translating the flag fixed vertex… you can find his example of doing this on his site, but he maded it for away3d =) )
the code is very extended, so if you have any doubts post them here, we will try and answer all of them
[ papervision3d ] Texture switch at runtime
Here we have a quick example on how to change the texture of a primitive object in papervision3d…
At the end this is what you get:
This is the Document Class, its pretty simple and the methods are self descriptive so i don’t think you’ll have any trouble using it :
