Well, one question leads to another :)
First, thank you Jim -- I had avoided "embedFonts" thinking it would
embed the entire character set, but according to the Size Report it
embeds only those characters I embed in the dummy text fields. So now
it's working fine.
And now my next question: Is there a way to dynamically
increase/decrease type size when using CSS? Once the CSS is loaded
into the swf, can I modify its font-size settings? I can change type
size using textFormat, but since it seems you can't combine
textFormat with CSS, I lose the benefits of CSS (in particular the
ability to define a:link and a:hover).
thanks,
Marc

Just checking for gotchas...
Are you loading text into a textfield on the stage, or creating the
field dynamically?
Either way, set myTextField.embedFonts = true; if you haven't already...

I am having trouble getting Flash to embed a font that is designated by CSS.
In Flash:
- I create a textfield, create a loadVars and a StyleSheet, load the
CSS into the StyleSheet, and designate the style sheet as the style
for the text field. I then load text into the textfield (currently
using hard-coded AS, but eventually it will be xml).
- I also create dummy text fields to embed the fonts in Flash that
the CSS uses.
- I then generate the .swf for testing.
The CSS file is present and working.
When I play the swf, Everything works okay ONLY IF the font is on my
system. If I remove the font from my system and double-click the swf
again, the font is replaced by a system-resident font.
Is there a right way to embed a font in a swf so that when it is
called by CSS, it will display even if it's not on the user's system?
TIA,
Marc Hoffman
