Embed font from macros (flash target)

[Dima Granetchi]

I trying embed bitmapData and font same as here embed sounds

https://github.com/ncannasse/ld25/blob/master/lib/Sounds.hx

BitmapData embeds correct, but font write

Macros src: https://github.com/profelis/macros_lessons/blob/master/macros_3/src/deep/macro/AssetsMacros.hx

Hi

There are less-painful methods for embedding fonts and sound, using compiler metadata (@:font and @:sound). In the following link you can learn something more about the metadata and how to use them: http://haxe.org/manual/tips_and_tricks#flash-specific-metadata

I hope this helps you ;)

No. it's not help.

I use meta like @:sound from Nicolas macros for embed bitmaps and fonts in macros. Bitmaps and sounds works correct, but fonts not.

I didn't even know about that data: trick, is that documented somewhere?

I found this trick in Nicolas source code from ld25 https://github.com/ncannasse/ld25/blob/master/lib/Sounds.hx

Dima: In Nicolas's "Ludum Dare 25" entry, the font is loaded from a SWF lib (Look at the "obj" directory, there is "ld25Resources.swf" file, containing the "PixelFont" used in the entry), not from the font found in "gfx" directory. He isn't using any macros for loading the font, only the -swf-lib compiler argument and the "h2d.Font" class.

Simon: Don't know if you are talking about the metadata for embeding resources in a swf, but here you may find information about them: http://haxe.org/manual/tips_and_tricks#flash-specific-metadata. Perhaps you refer to  something else.

Hope this helps

Rammserker, My main question: Why this trick works only with bitmaps and sounds? For what this trick exist?

Simon,

Today I replaced "data:" + fileCont with simle filePath and fonts started works with sounds and bitmaps. Very strange why exist data: trick when all works with out it.

Well that's easy to answer: I didn't know about it and didn't implement it when adding @:font. ;)

From looking at the code, data: allows you to pass the file contents directly instead of the file name. I suppose this can be useful if you are loading a file in a macro and maybe even modify it there.

Now I understand your question. Sorry for not understanding earlier. Don't know why.

Maybe you right. I removed data: trick and now all works correct. I can write my fourth article about macros.

Out of curiosity, where can one find your articles?
