I feel that Flash 7 will be phased out in the next few months,
increasing the market share of Flash 8. (I mean, it's been three
months since that latest census report). It also makes things easier
for users by not having to export two Flash movies ? which also
requires commenting out a line in Options.as before you can export to
Flash 7. Apologies for only discussing with Mike before I removed the
feature.

I agree with the developer ease-of-use, and deployment ease, just unsure how
it'll impact website visitors (in terms of % not seeing the desired result.
;) ).
Yes, we need at least a starter 'set', and getting some of the sifr-related
sites updated would be good. Note that many of the sifr font sites got the
SWF fonts from other locations, not all compile them directly. Thus the
need for some tools to help expedite the availability of sifr3 fonts.
Oh, and to bring up an old point, I don't know where/how you do it, but
would be good if there was a way to internally tag the 'version' of the SWF
font file, so that an old font throws an error/log when in some kind of
debug mode (so that site-builders can easily detect 'old' fonts...).

Message-ID: <45060DA5.40504@kaadesigngroup.com>
IE7 (and I think IE6 as well) seems to through a fit if the selector
being replaced has been absolutely positioned. This was a problem in
earlier versions of sIFR as well, but I just didn't figure it out until
r138.
My solution for now is to throw things inside a inside the
absolutely positioned element, and replace that instead. Kludgy, but it
works.
Firefox 1.5 (and perhaps other browsers) don't have this problem.

Sorry it's taken so long for me to look into this again (the website
went on hold).
This seems to work, but not in IE (yay IE!), In IE it causes the
non-breaking space character to be ignored.
Example, the address footer on this site:
http://susanreddick.development.kaadesigngroup.com/
I'm using to insert a couple of spaces between the address, the
phone, and the fax.... works fine obviously in HTML, and works in
Firefox using the config setting you added, but appears in IE to toss
out the non-breaking spaces alltogether.

Yeah, it turns out there's a bug in Flash which means the non-
breaking space character is not actually exported into the Flash
movies (the actual glyph is just not there). Until Adobe fixes this,
well, no way to actually use it.

I for one hate relying on the media giant to fix things. ;)
Two questions off of this (one related, one sort of related):
1. Can't you translate the nbsp to a 'normal' space when converting the
string to the embedded sifr? (i.e., is the nbsp being used to actually
prevent break, or because of some other translation in html?) if it's to
prevent a break, well, yeah, you need the real glyph so that Flash formats
it properly...
2. Is there a way to tell Flash to embed an ENTIRE font into a movie? Say
you're working with an asian/multibyte typeface, with thousands of glyphs.
Is there a way to tell flash you want every glyph in a given TT font
exported, rather than just a selected 'string worth' of text?

For #2, look at the embedding options for the block of text (it's one of
the buttons in the properties panel). You can specify a lot of things,
including all the glyphs in the font.

And for #1 you can easily add Space special character to the manual
adding string inside embeding properties. The space character can be
copied through Character map.

Yes. However, turns out that the nbsp glyph just isn't being
exported. I found a config file to change it, but that didn't help.

I just wanted to let you know about a little project of mine. As I often use
or plan to use sIFR on websites that also require
mootools(or its predecessors, but I'm upgrading
most now) for one thing or another,
and where I use DomLoaded instead of window.onload, I've started to look at
sIFR's code and see how I can optimize it by removing stuff that is already
done by these two. DomLoaded only does one thing - load the whole thing. So
I started by removing the registerEvents stuff.
I removed parseSelector and replaced it with a simple call to $S(selector),
and I'll continue with more adaptations. I think I'll write a Ruby script to
automate it.
At this stage I've gotten the size down on the sifr.js about 7 KB, so it's a
few deciseconds faster to load, which I think is great news :)

Message-ID:
Good stuff. sIFR is designed to be completely stand-alone, which
means that if you use a JavaScript framework / toolkit there may be
some duplication. This is definitely something to be optimized
through a pre-compiler script. Some questions, though:
Did you replace all occurrences of 'parseSelector' with '$S', or did
you point the parseSelector variable to the other function?
The event handling is especially tricky, there is a lot of fine-
tuning for different browsers and HTML/XHTML modes. You'll want to be
careful not to change the semantics here.
Also, sIFR code is not compressed yet, so that 7 KB will become less
when the release is there ;-)

var nodes = $S(kwargs.selector); - that's it. I zapped parseSelector
completely, the whole class or whatyamacallit.
I'm compressing whitespace, comments and such with an app I found, so
sIFR.js lands at 17 KB compressed right now. mootools is also available at
different rates of compression (for the featureset I'm using: 18.4 or
27.2KB - 33 KB uncompressed) so it's pretty slim altogether.
I'll look at the innards more closely later. There's probably lots of stuff
to do there.

Okay. You could also do `parseSelector = $S;` (without the
parseSelector code) and you wouldn't have to change the sIFR internals.

Subject: [sIFR3-dev] sifr, innerHTML, and of course, IE.....
Message-ID: <45117B6A.3080903@kaadesigngroup.com>
Apparently there is a glitch with using innerHTML with IE that revolves
around a timing issue:
http://www.shaftek.org/blog/archives/000212.html
I'm running into this with using r138, which unfortunately I cannot
verify on any of my machines that have IE, but apparently people running
IE6 on WinXP SP2 with all updates are seeing it. I've narrowed it down
to being sIFR (which does use a lot of innerHTML) but beyond that I
can't troubleshoot further.
I'll try replacing r138 with r140, but I don't know if it will help
since I can't reliably test this.
Any thoughts on resolving this would be greatly appreciated

According to this
might happen when the DOM is changed inside of the
"onreadystatechange" event. Which, matter of fact, is exactly what
happens in sIFR in r138. The workaround is in r142, could you verify?
Thanks!

I found a machine that I can reliable reproduce the error on, so that helps.
This error does occur with r140 as well.
--- I just found a workaround,
If I move the sIFR.activate() call outside of my head script and to the
end of the document, and drop the sIFR.prefetch(font) call, the error
goes away. Probably because it changes the timing of events.
This probably should be reflected in the example script, and hopefully a
way to preload the swf without causing this problem can be found.

Great news.

Could you test with r142? If it's there as well, then, uhm, let's
just say poor me :)

What if you just drop the pre-fetch?

r142 still exhibits the problem
If I drop the prefetch it does appear to resolve the problem. (I thought
I had tried that on r138 and r140, but I could be wrong).

Okay, that's sort of good news. The pre-fetch is there as a
workaround, which means I know need a workaround for a workaround.
Some tricks can be used to delay the loading of it, though. I'll be
working on some isolated test cases in an attempt to find a solution.
I'll leave the workaround from r142 in there though, just in case.

All 4 tests appear to be working on the machine configuration that had
been exhibiting errors.... but then again it doesn't appear you are
doing any replacement on those pages, or perhaps the page is loading
fast enough that it's not an issue?

It should be doing the pre-fetching which caused trouble before.

Subject: [sIFR3-dev] Remove compatMode?
Message-ID:
With Flash 7 out of the picture, is it worthwhile to include
backwards compatibility code for Safari 1.0 - 1.2, Netscape 6 and
Opera < 7.5? These browsers can't find the current style properties
associated with borders and padding, which is needed for proper
calculation of the element width and height.
It's only a handful of lines of code, and disabled by default, but it
*would* make the code a bit cleaner and remove the extra, but
voluntary, effort of specifying the horizontal and vertical space
taken in by padding and borders.
What are your thoughts?

I've put up a sIFR build which alerts for DOM modifications. Could
you let me know after which alert it fails? See here: .
