Beginning with Flash Professional CS5, Flash automatically embeds all characters used by any text objects that contain text. By creating an embedded font symbol, you can enable text objects in your project to use additional characters. This is helpful when users will be inputting text into fields at runtime or when you'll be editing text on the fly with ActionScript.
Embedded fonts are not necessary for text objects that have their antialias property set to the Use Device Fonts option. You can specify which fonts you want to embed in your FLA file, and Flash embeds the fonts when you publish a SWF file.
There are three common situations when embedding fonts is recommended to ensure correct text appearance in a SWF file:
*When creating text objects in your FLA file that are integral to a design that requires consistent text appearance
*When generating text dynamically with ActionScript in your FLA file (when you create dynamic text with ActionScript, you must specify in ActionScript which font to use)
*When your SWF file contains text objects and may be loaded by another SWF file that does not have the required fonts embedded
The Font Embedding dialogue box allows you to manage all embedded fonts in one place. Using it, you can create font symbols for each embedded font. Select custom ranges of embedded characters for a font as well as predefined ranges. You can work with both Text Layout Framework (TLF) text and Classic text in the same file and use embedded fonts with each.
Continue to work with Flash CS4 and earlier FLA files that contain fonts embedded with the older method that associated the embedded characters with a specific text object. When you open an older FLA file, Flash CS5 and later will allow you to edit these older embedded fonts with the Font Embedding dialogue box.
To embed characters from a font in a SWF file, follow these steps:
#Open the Font Embedding dialogue box (Text > Font Embedding).
#If your font is not already selected in the Font Embedding dialogue box, click the Add (+) button to add a new embedded font to your FLA file. When you open the Font Embedding dialogue box from the Library or the Text Property inspector, a font item appears automatically in the dialogue box.
#In the Options tab, select the Family and Style of the font you want to embed.
#In the Character Ranges section, select the character ranges you want to embed. The more characters you embed, the larger the file size of your published SWF file
#If you want to embed additional specific characters, enter them in the "Also include these characters" field.
#To enable the embedded font symbol to be accessed with ActionScript code, select Export for ActionScript in the ActionScript tab.
#If you selected Export for ActionScript, select an outline format also. For TLF text containers, select TLF (DF4) as the Outline Format. For Classic text containers, select Classic (DF3).
Note: You must create separate embedded font symbols for use in TLF and Classic text containers. The TLF (DF4) outline format is not available for PostScript Type 1 fonts. TLF (DF4) requires Flash Player version 10 or later.
If you want to use the font symbol as a shared asset, select options in the Sharing section of the ActionScript tab. For more information about using shared assets, see Sharing library assets in the Flash documentation.

The positioning of text within the page margins. Alignment can be flush left, flush right, justified, or centered. Flush left and flush right are sometimes referred to as left justified and right justified.
Industry:Printing & publishing
The part of lowercase letters (such as k, b, and d) that ascends above the x-height of the other lowercase letters in a face.
Industry:Printing & publishing
The imaginary line on which the majority of the characters in a typeface rest.
Industry:Printing & publishing
The paragraphs in a document that make up the bulk of its content. The body text should be set in an appropriate and easy-to-read face, typically at 10- or 12-point size.
Industry:Printing & publishing
The height from the baseline to the top of the uppercase letters in a font. This may or may not be the same as the height of ascenders. Cap height is used in some systems to measure the type size.
Industry:Printing & publishing
Text placed at an equal distance from the left and right margins. Headlines are often centered. It is generally not good to mix centred text with flush left or flush right text.

Character encoding is a table in a font or a computer operating system that maps character codes to glyphs in a font. Most operating systems today represent character codes with an 8-bit unit of data known as a byte. Thus, character encoding tables today are restricted to at most 256 character codes. Not all operating system manufacturers use the same character encoding. For example, the Macintosh platform uses the standard Macintosh character set as defined by Apple Computer, Inc., while the Windows operating system uses another encoding entirely, as defined by Microsoft. Fortunately, OpenType fonts (and standard Type 1 fonts) contain all the glyphs needed for both these encodings, so they work correctly not only with these two systems, but others as well.

Text that is aligned on the left margin is said to be set flush left. If the same text is not aligned on the right margin, it is said to be set flush left, ragged right. The term ragged right is sometimes used alone to mean the same thing.

使用動畫編輯器中，您可以通過編輯與標準貝塞爾控制項的每個圖的曲線控制補間動畫的每個屬性曲線的形狀。這些控制項是類似于使用選擇工具或鋼筆工具。
移動曲線段或控制點向上，增加該屬性的值 ； 向下移動它可減小值。重定到補間範圍來更改補間動畫的顯示方式的不同幀的屬性關鍵幀。
要更改控制的兩個點之間的曲線段的形狀，請拖動該線段。當您拖動曲線段時，成為選定部分的每一端的控制點。如果所選的控制點是平滑點，其貝塞爾手柄出現 。
