Hints and Tips

1. Changing the font for the description text.

The Screen Banner Rotator uses Arial as the default font for the description text. To change the default font, open the source FLA file (ScreenBannerRotator.fla) and do the following:

1. Open "Screen Banner Rotator" folder -> "Description items" folder in the Library panel, and select "description text" symbol.
2. Select the dynamic text field in "description text" symbol, and choose the font you would like to use.
3. By default, the "Uppercase", "Lowercase", "Numerals" and "Punctuation" character sets for the dynamic text field are embedded. If you want to use an embedded font, leave the above character sets selected.

2. Using special characters such as ã¥ûñ in the description text.

You need to embed these special characters in the text field first. To do this, open the source FLA file (ScreenBannerRotator.fla) and make the following steps:

1. Open "Screen Banner Rotator" folder -> "Description items" folder in the Library panel, and select "description text" symbol.
2. Select the dynamic text field in "description text" symbol. In the properties panel, press the "Embed" button and you will then see a field labeled "Include these characters" — paste the special characters that you need here.

3. Formatting HTML text in XML (bold and italic styles).

You need to embed the characters for bold and italic styles first. To do this, open the source FLA file (ScreenBannerRotator.fla) and make the following steps:

1. Create a blank text field with the same font as the description text field. Leave the instance name blank.
2. With the text field selected, select the Bold icon in the properties panel. Now press the "Embed" button and select "Uppercase", "Lowercase", "Numerals" and "Punctuation" character sets and press "OK".
3. Create a new text field and select the Italic icon. Repeat the same embed steps.
