Hi,

 You can use the [Embed] Directive in a few places in Flex.

Inside your MXML code - create a new project - then you can add normal actionscript by inserting

<mx:Script> tags - start typing "Scr..." and Flex Builder will try to auto-complete.

Between your Script tags is ActionScript - same way as you would write it anywhere else.

You can also create ActionScript only components as part of your project and write your code as AS.

You can also embed your fonts in style sheets, which just contain fancy CSS declarations. I have an example at home, so will post it this evening if you don't get sorted - in about 3hours from now.

Keith Peters also wrote an article about Embed on his blog - a while back so you might have to search for it

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
