hi Thomas, going by the steps u mentioned earlier, if I change a property,say Font, in the SharedFonts.fla and save and publish, later if i publish the fla which imports the shared font, i don't see the change in font done in the SharedFonts.fla. >7. Once the font symbol from SharedFonts.fla is in your other .fla's library right click on it (in your other .fla's library) and go to properties. Check the "Export for ActionScript", "Export for runtime sharing" and "Export in first frame" checkboxes. Supply the location to SharedFonts.swf (e.g. SharedFonts.swf or somepath/SharedFonts.swf) in the URL field below the checkboxes. the receiving file, in shared library concept, usually "imports for runtime sharing" the object from the URL specified, but in the above line there is no import happening, in fact, both the SharedFonts.fla and receiving file are "exporting for runtime sharing". The idea behind shared libraries is "change in one place and it will get updated everywhere", but its not working here... Hope, I will get some clarification on this.... ----------- Arindam

Once the font symbol is created make sure to check the "Export for ActionScript", "Export in first frame" checkboxes in the Properties dialog box. 3. Publish the .swf for the SharedFonts.fla. 4. Open the .fla in which you want to use the font symbol from SharedFonts.swf. 5. Then, go to File -> Import -> Open shared library... and open SharedFonts.fla 6. Drag the font symbol from the SharedFonts.fla library into your other fla's library that will be using the font. 7. Once the font symbol from SharedFonts.fla is in your other .fla's library right click on it (in your other .fla's library) and go to properties. Check the "Export for ActionScript", "Export for runtime sharing" and "Export in first frame" checkboxes. Supply the location to SharedFonts.swf (e.g. SharedFonts.swf or somepath/SharedFonts.swf) in the URL field below the checkboxes. 8. Publish your other .fla and you should be good to go. One thing to be mindful of is the path to your SharedFonts.swf. This MUST be correct in order for these shared fonts to work. To simplify things I just placed the SharedFonts.swf in the same directory as my other .swf. I hope this helps someone....
