i think there are a number of different ways to embed fonts in flash. but the
way i do it is by creating a "new font" from the library panel and then setting
the linkage so it is "export for actionscript" and then giving it a class name.
this definitely works for me and works with your code (without the tweenLite
stuff). only a couple other modifications to the code. you can see the code at:
http://pastebin.com/m401946d0
all this stuff is on the adobe docs i think, written somewhere.
hope that sorts it.
