Text Blitter missing for SWF runtime.

[N64Mario]

My game uses the text blitter object. However, when I go to export as SWF, it says that the txtblt extension is missing.

So does that mean I can't use text blitter for SWF runtime? Or is there an update, or a SWF version of text blitter object that I can use?

Text Blitter is not supported in the Flash runtime. If you have MMF2 Dev, you can use the Character Image object instead.

Is that a 3rd party extension I have to find? Cause I don't see it in my list. But yea I have MMF2 Dev.

I wonder why it's not supported. Can't whoever made it make a version that IS supported with SWF?


EDIT: Okay I think I found it on a forum post from Clickteam. Though ti would have been nice if the original Text Blitter had an update for support for it.

Seeing as it was last updated in 2009 and is a Cellsoft extension, I doubt it will be updated any time in the near/far future unless CT has the source :\

Oh, okay....

Well, I just tried using the MMF2 Developer version of the Character Image Object, and I don't understand it yet. It's not as simple as Text Blitter. The GUI is even different. Even the default font is different. :-/
