Thanks for the pointer. It took a few reads through the documentation to
understand where you were going, as my little test app didn't use modules.
But once I started thinking of the .swf css file as a module, it all
started to make sense.
For the record (anyone coming behind me with the same issue), simply
declaring an instance of *EmbeddedFontRegistry* got my labels finding the
embedded font.
<fx:Script>
*import mx.core.EmbeddedFontRegistry;*
* private var embeddedFontRegistry:EmbeddedFontRegistry;*
private function loadExtStylesheet():void {
styleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("styles.swf");
}
</fx:Script>
