OFM Embedding FAQ (Flash)

Q: OFM does not render fonts when embedded.
A: Did you apply a mask to OFM? If you do so, make sure the mask is not a scene-mask, but a mask defined using the actionscript setMask() call. OFM uses device fonts, which are not masked when using a scene mask. Also, the masquee may not be an externally loaded MovieClip. This means you'll need to load OFM as a child clip of a normal movieclip, for masking to function correctly.

Here's some sample code:

• MapMask is the mask
• mapComponent is the masquee
• mapComponent.target_mc is the OFM component

//
// Load mask clip..
// 
 
attachMovie("MapBg_mc", "MapMask", getNextHighestDepth());
with (MapMask)
{
	_x = 122.2
	_y = 30.2;
	_width = 399.4;
	_height = 345.6;
}
 
//
// Load OFM clip..
// OFM is loaded into the mapComponent.target_mc clip.
//
 
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
 
/* Called when OFM component is initialized */
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
  target_mc.notifyOnPublicInterfaceSetup(interfaceLoaded);
};
 
/* Called when OFM public interface is ready to use. */
function interfaceLoaded() {
  /* Do something using the public interface.. */
  ofmInterface = mapComponent.target_mc.getPublicInterface();
  ofmInterface.setOFMParameter("CustomizeCursor", false);
}
 
var mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
mcl.addListener(mclListener);
mapComponent.createEmptyMovieClip("target_mc", 0);
mcl.loadClip("OrbitFlashMap_modern.swf", mapComponent.target_mc);
 
//
// Set mask..
// 
 
mapComponent.setMask(MapMask);
