sIFR problems

Featured Replies

Hi

 

I have tried a few methods of sIFR implementations, but I cant get it to work 100%. I would really appreciate any help or tips on this issue.

 

I have mainly tried to use sIFR 3 (r436) and I get it to work with the rockwell.swf that is supplied in the example, but I can't get it to work with any other .swf-file

 

The font I want to use is one called Swedbank (PostScript Mac), but another one called Telenor (Truetype) would be OK aswell. I want to use the font on the H3 tag.

 

I use the supplied sifr.fla to generate the .swf file in Adobe Flash CS4. All the export settings are according to http://wiki.novemberborn.net/sifr3/How+to+use (flash 8, as2, compress & protect and so on). But when I use my swedbank.swf instead of the rockwell.swf it does not work

 

I have also tried the sIFR Generator wizard at http://www.sifrgenerator.com/

It only supports Truetype. I have tried the Telenor font since it Truetype, and 2-3 other Truetype fonts, but not a single on generates a working .swf-file

 

I was suspecting that it was some restrictions on these typefaces, so I have tried exporting Arial, Verdana and so on, but it doesn't work either!. I have tried using Rockwell (Opentype) from Flash CS4 but even this one does not work! Since Rockwell is used in the working example, I think that there is not an issue with my choices of typefaces, it must be something else?

 

I am using OS X 10.5.6, but have tried the above methods on Windows XP aswell.

 

Can anyone out there suggest a solution or get a working .swf from these fonts?

 

I have also tried the jQuery sIFR plugin, based on sIFR 2.0.5. This version has issues with Flash 10 I think, but with this plugin I can get a swedbank.swf to work!!.. I generated a swedbank_j.swf file from Flash CS4 and it works fine! But the implementation is very buggy and I do not wish to use jQuery sIFR. I have been experimenting with OffsetLeft and Zoomlevel etc., but the left position is inconsistent and unpredictable and I can not get the result I want with this method

 

 

Examples:

http://www.easytowah.com/test/swedbank_sifr3.html (not working... )

http://www.easytowah.com/test/swedbank_jquery.html (swf working, but not the implementation)
