Flash character embedding – adding additional ranges
Posted by Mikea | Filed under Technology, Usability
Flash uses an XML file to define all the possible character ranges for embedded fonts and uses them to create the "Character Embedding..." list for dynamic TextFields in the IDE.
If you have ever tried to use a non-breaking space in a Flash textfield, you will of come across a pesky little issue - the non-breaking space character is not included in any of the unicode ranges used by Flash for character embedding.
