I guess it’s just implied to wrap it in a package…

Guess I got here to late to download the full source?

If not, I when I copy/paste the text above I get the following error:
1114: The public attribute can only be used inside a package.

Many many thanks for sharing this invaluable class. Perhaps someday I’ll be able to similarly pick apart source code and return the favor.

Hi Thomas,

Sorry for the late response, but the mail function of this Wordpress-distribution seems to have stopped working (will be working on that).
I’m not sure what the problem could be. The fontFamily-cssproperty is supported by AS3…
Are you embedding fonts? And is your DoopingTextArea’s embedFonts-property set to true?
If so, try setting it to false. If not, then make sure you’ve embedded the font. And make sure you initialize it at least once before using the DoopingTextArea.
So In your case it means just adding:

var just4Init = new ArialFont(); //or what name you gave the embedded font in the library

hope to have helped you…

I’m having the same fontFamily problem. Any solution? Is there a way to use an embedded font?

Thanks a lot for this great trick!
I have 1 problem: I can’t change the fontFamily (doopingTextArea just ignores what I’ve put in the stylesheet => can’t get it to Arial).

Any hints would be highly appreciated as I’m struggling with this for hours now.

Thanks!
Thomas
