super/subsc in flash cs3?

slinky2000 · 05-03-2007, 09:06 AM

can someone tell me if super/subsc is handled by flash cs3 automatically by some form of / tag??

or do we still have to find workarounds??

As far as I know you can only set super and subsc with static text. The html tags are not supported.

ah jeess, I cant understand why macromedia dont include this! all they have to do is make the font/characters smaller and move it up or down!

I was really hoping cs3 would include this feature!

I got my Subsc and Supersc fonts from:
http://www.subscfont.com

& tags are not supported by Flash

but you can
use Subsc & Supersc in dynamic and input text field in Flash:

Download & install Subsc & Supersc fonts from http://www.subscfont.com or http://www.superscfont.com
You will need to restart Flash software after installed fonts.
Create a dynamic text field with Arial font embeded. Set the HTML property to true.
Create a dynamic text field with Subsc font embeded.
Create a dynamic text field with Supersc font embeded.
Use HTML tag to set text to subsc or supersc like below:
Some text©
If you are using Actionsc to test the htmlText, use sc like below:
my_txt.htmlText = "Some textTM";
Data can come from a XML file, TEXT file or from flash itself.

They are better than CG since it goes lower than the baseline and it's real subsc..

Still no good for dunamic fields with no fonts embeded!

Using Character Position and altering the font size, you can create Supersc. Since it doesn't work in Dynamic text, you can simply download a font size that works in small pixels and then overlay a static text of the supersced items (use a mask and movie to create map).

Well I mamaged to make my own text "wrapper" class that does everything I need text wise in flash 8.

It takes the string, splits it up into an array via spaces and creates a text box for every word and this allows me to move the box up or down depending on my needs.

I've had to figure out loads of things like making bold and italics go across multiple text boxes, line wrapping funxctionality etc etc.

The good thing about my method is that I can now do unlimited indentations of numbered and bulleted lists! sweet!

only down side is its a little processor intensive!

The new Flash 10 flash.text.engineElementFormat class makes super and subsc possible using the alignmentBaseline property. You need to wait a bit to apply it in Flash.
