Yesterday I lauched my new badminton game, which is still in beta. It’s now available to the public with a couple of features already available, but with much more to come in the next months, including a much needed online multiplayer mode.
With already near 100 users and 200 games played in less than 48 hours, I hope this will be the game that fills the need of a complete badminton game on the web.
Feel free to come by and try it.
These files contains character sets that you can embed in your dynamic textfields :
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\en\First Run\FontEmbedding\UnicodeTable.xml
C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS4\en\Configuration\FontEmbedding\UnicodeTable.xml
Add this set of unicode characters to add a French set of characters in the Character Embedding dialog :

There is an easy way of loading external fonts embedded in swf files, using the etcs.ru.utils.FontLoader class. It loads the swf file, extract the font data directly at the bytes level, and register it to the Font class.
Here is a great tutorial for using the etcs.ru.utils.FontLoader class : http://www.thetechlabs.com/tutorials/flash/dynamically-loading-fonts-with-fontloader-and-applying-styles-with-css-stylesheet-in-as3/
I’ve put together a FontManager class that manages multiple swf files with this FontLoader class:
