Hi,
You should still be able to load a separarte SWF with a font
embedded then use this on the stage:

A workaround for the "[Embed] does not work in Flash" issue is to
use another program, like Flash Develop if you ain't got Flex, to create
your font based SWF, then load this from your Flash built application.

I know the offstage technique but what I want is to load an external
swf with the specific font in it. Then use that font in all other
swfs. You could do this in as2 by loading in a swf that had a shared
library font in it. Bit of a hack but it worked.
I cant quite believe Adobe has not addressed this in cs3 as fonts do
add a huge amount to file sizes. There has got to be a fix for this
surely...
Any more ideas...
Cheers

Define 2 dynamic text field off stage (one for each font) and define

character range there.
These characters should now be available to all text fields in the .swf
*Should* work, but with Flash and font you never know :(
Offstage will do it.
So will exporting in a text field within a MovieClip symbol in the
library, providing that MovieClip symbol is marked for export in first
frame.
