About Unicode text encoding in Flash
applications
Macromedia Flash Player 7 and later supports Unicode text encoding for SWF files in Flash
Player format. This support greatly enhances your ability to use multilingual text in SWF files
that you create with Flash including multiple languages within a single text field. Any user
with Flash Player 7 or later can view multilanguage text in a Flash Player 7 or later
application, regardless of the language used by the operating system running the player.
For information on Unicode support in Flash, see
Text," on page
363.
About font outlines and device fonts
When you publish or export a Flash application containing static text, Flash creates outlines
of the text and uses the outlines to display the text in Flash Player.
When you publish or export a Flash application containing dynamic or input text fields, Flash
stores the names of the fonts used in creating the text. Flash Player uses the font names to
locate identical or similar fonts on the user's system when the Flash application is displayed.
You can also export font outlines with dynamic or input text by clicking the Embed option in
the Property inspector and selecting options. See
on page
183.
Not all fonts displayed in Flash can be exported as outlines with a Flash application. To verify
that a font can be exported, you can use the View > Preview Mode > Antialias Text command
to preview the text; jagged type indicates that Flash does not recognize that font's outline and
will not export the text.
