I hope that I don't insult your intelligence by referring you to a
TechNote.
Not at all - I've tried a fair few places all with different advice, but
this one might be the one that works :)
But, by following the steps as shown at
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14786 I was
able
to use a shared font successfully in Flash 8. It sounds as if you may be
taking some unnecessary steps: for example, you shouldn't need to include
any text fields in your sharedfonts.fla. Also, make sure that you follow
the method of "Open As Library" as described in the TechNote. (In Flash
8,
this is File > Import > Open External Library). Setting the library font
to
a different font may in fact be causing a problem - I would suggest
instead
testing with wingdings or some other crazy font so you can know for sure
it's working.
Thanks for the advice - one last try before I go home, then.
Danny
