That should say the frame tags need to be wrapped by library tags.

This is very useful. Thanks.

I ran into some trouble getting text to display and found out that, at least with the versions of mtasc and swfmill that I am using (1.12 and 0.2.11), the and tags should be wrapped with and tags. In case anybody runs into similar problems, that may be worth trying.

Thanks for this article but I can’t make it work. I get no text in the rectangle.

I don’t see were you make the link between the font generated with SWFMILL whitch ouputs a FontTest.swf and the ACTIONSCRIPT file that produces also a file called FonTest.swf. The 2 files erase each others.

Great article Aral!

Thanks for sharing and for paving the road for Flash OS! I was needing a good way to add fonts, images etc. to projects compiled with MTASC and with Swfmill it seems we are getting there.

I will now (finally) see if I can compile one of my bigger RIA's with MTASC from within Eclipse.

Maybe all my development from now on can be done from within Eclipse! Cool!

Hey Carlos -- hey, anytime -- your article got me (and quite a few others started on all this).

I did try copying getTextExtent2 method but that produced incorrect results here too.

I had a post on this with another workaround a long time ago on onRelease (which I should go through one of these days and at least copy important posts from to here.) You can still see it on the mobile page (which I apparently forgot to take down) here.

Thanks Aral for your tutorials, I must give a try to SWFML : )

About “getTextExtent2″, we could copy the behaviour of this v2 method. Keith Peters wrote in his blog about what’s going on behind the scenes:

It seems like we’re really going totaly OS!
