Set the grid instance on a text field in Flash

Create a new Flash document and save it as a gridfittype.fla.
Select New Font from the pop-up menu in the upper-right corner of the library panel.
Select the Arial font from the Font drop-down menu and set the font size to 10 points.
Type the font name ARIAL-10 (embedded) in the Name text box, and then click OK.
Right-click the font symbol in the library and select link to open the Link Properties dialog box.
Set the link identifier to Arial-10, and then select the export for ActionScript and export on first frame check box.
Click OK.

Add the following code to frame 1th in the main timeline:

The code is as follows

Copy Code

var my_fmt:textformat = new TextFormat (); My_fmt.size = 10; My_fmt.font = "Arial-10"; var h:number = Math.floor (STAGE.HEIGHT/3); This.createtextfield ("None_txt", 0, 0, Stage.width, h); None_txt.antialiastype = "Advanced"; None_txt.embedfonts = true; None_txt.gridfittype = "None"; None_txt.multiline = true; None_txt.setnewtextformat (MY_FMT); None_txt.text = "Loading ..."; None_txt.wordwrap = true; This.createtextfield ("Pixel_txt", 0, H, stage.width, h); Pixel_txt.antialiastype = "Advanced"; Pixel_txt.embedfonts = true; Pixel_txt.gridfittype = "pixel"; Pixel_txt.multiline = true; Pixel_txt.selectable = false; Pixel_txt.setnewtextformat (MY_FMT); Pixel_txt.text = "Loading ..."; Pixel_txt.wordwrap = true; This.createtextfield ("Subpixel_txt", 0, H*2, stage.width, h); Subpixel_txt.antialiastype = "Advanced"; Subpixel_txt.embedfonts = true; Subpixel_txt.gridfittype = "Subpixel"; Subpixel_txt.multiline = true; Subpixel_txt.setnewtextformat (MY_FMT); Subpixel_txt.text = "Loading ..."; Subpixel_txt.wordwrap = true; var lorem_lv:loadvars = new Loadvars (); Lorem_lv.ondata = function (src:string): Void { if (src!= undefined) { None_txt.text = "[antialiastype=none]n" + src; Pixel_txt.text = "[antialiastype=pixel]n" + src; Subpixel_txt.text = "[antialiastype=subpixel]n" + src; } else { Trace ("Unable to load text file"); } }; Lorem_lv.load ("/lorem.txt");

The ActionScript code above can be divided into five parts. The first section defines a new text-format object that specifies two property size and font. The Font property refers to the link identifier for a font symbol in the current document library. The second, third, and part four code creates a new dynamic text field on the stage and sets some common properties: Antialiastype (must be set to Advanced), Embedfonts (set to True), multiline, and WordWrap. Each part of the code also applies the text Format object created in the previous section of code and sets the grid fixed type to normal, pixel, or sub-pixel. The last part of the code, the fifth part, creates a loadvars instance that loads the contents of the external text file into individual text fields created in code.
