Re: [Gnash-dev] ColorTransform and EditText (YouTube buzz videos)

I have a basic question there: What are "device" and "embedded" fonts?

The TextField in the YouTube movie uses <DefineEditText fontRef="9">, 
and there's a <DefineFont2 objectID="9"> in the same file. Is this an 
embedded font? (The font has only 12 glyphs, and when I change them, 
there's no visible effect.)

When I change the ColorTransform in the parent so that alpha=0, the 
TextField is still solid. (I'm not very familiar with Flash yet, so I'm 
assuming that a PlaceObject2 is the only way to have a parent for the 
TextField, and that the ColorTransform is the only way to modify the 
parent's alpha value. Is this correct?)

Could we simply instantiate a TextField, using mock objects for its 
parent hierarchy, and directly assert on TextField::get_world_cxform?

Kind Regards,
