Last updated 5/2/2011
Example
The following example retrieves the description of the object:

var desc = doc.selection[0].description;
The following example sets the description of the object:

text.embeddedCharacters
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
text.embeddedCharacters
Description
Property; a string that specifies characters to embed. This is equivalent to entering text in the Character Embedding
dialog box.
This property works only with dynamic or input text; it generates a warning if used with other text types.
Note: Beginning in Flash Professional CS5, font embedding is controlled at the document level instead of the text object
level. Use the “
fontItem.embeddedCharacters ” on page 280 property instead of the text.embeddedCharacters property.
Example
The following example assumes that the first or only item in the current selection is a classic text object and sets the
embeddedCharacters property to abc :
fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].embeddedCharacters = "abc";
text.embedRanges
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
text.embedRanges
Description
Property; a string that consists of delimited integers that correspond to the items that can be selected in the Character
Embedding dialog box. This property works only with dynamic or input text; it is ignored if used with static text.
This property corresponds to the XML file in the Configuration/Font Embedding folder.
Note: Beginning in Flash Professional CS5, font embedding is controlled at the document level instead of the text object
level. Use the “
fontItem.embedRanges ” on page 280 property instead of the text.embedRanges property.
