I've been searching for the best way to handle fonts when localizing Flash applications. Ideally I'm looking for a way that I can create SWFs that have specific character ranges of specific fonts embedded in them that I can load in to my applications as needed based on the language that has been selected by the user.

I've come across many posts of people describing this approach, most notably:

http://troyworks.com/blog/2008/09/12/flash-runtime-font-sharing- embedding-with-only-partial-character-sets-how-to/

The problem for me is I don't know Flex at all. I have Flex Builder 3 and use it almost everyday as my primary AS3 editor, but I don't know the first thing about MXML or even creating Flex projects. The previous post above describes this technique using FlashDevelop and the Flex SDK. Since I have Flex builder I'm just looking for a little guidance as to how to get similar code to compile a SWF in Flex Builder.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or if any or you have any better methods of how to handle this that you would like to pass on, I'm totally open to suggestion.

Thank in advance,
_mike
