Wonderful, great job.

Wow, looks great. Now I only need to figure out how to prepare the damn files in Flash, as I have never used it. Last time I tried it went horribly wrong and I got ugly squashed letters.

Hm..download link does not work (on the lab page).

Oops! Now it’s fixed.

For some reason this is working in firefox for me, but not in IE. Any Ideas? Would not putting the script underneath the replaced text be a reason?

Jordan, it’s always best to provide step by step explanation of what you have done. An example with the error would be also very helpful.

Maratz – I sent you an message, that should describe it accurately. An example is included.

Marko, as seems to me there’re some problems in customize.as and sifr.js… Can you share me with uncompressed JS :)
010—2006.01.29.23:40
@everyone: Uncompressed JavaScript file is now included in the bundle.

This charset is giving me a headache.
<meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html ; charset=utf-8″ />
It removes all the colors that I set, but still generates and places the flash file.
I replaced the charset with an ISO and it works fine. Is this an known issue?
Oh, I’ve tried placing the <meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html ; charset=utf-8″ /> in different locaions within the head and it still wasn’t working.

I’m totally perplexed. Having downloaded the bundle, I ran the example page. All was well. However, as soon as I replace the included meta_pro_book.swf with my own font swf (and altering the html jscript accordingly), the colour codes are then completely ignored and I just get bog standard sIFR behaviour.
I have exported using the bundled .fla, so I’m not really sure what the issue is. Any ideas?

I am working on a MAC and having no luck exporting a SWF file that allows the color change. The font is accurate but the color attributes do not change. Color attributes work when “meta_pro_book.swf” is substituted for my exported font, however. Was this font created on a PC? I am using Flash MX on an iMAC running OX Tiger and I’m making no changes to the FLA file when exporting to the folder that contains the action script files.
Any ideas?

Got the same problem. (Flash MX on OS X) I’m able to export, but the typeface shows up in only one color. It works with the deliverd “meta_pro_book.swf”.

@Martin, RandyJ & Philipp:
Multi-color sIFR is updated. Also, be careful with the .as files – they should be open only with Flash, and not the code editor with which you edit your HTML/CSS files. The code editors usually change delimiter strings into something unusable.
