I posted this to another list a couple hours ago, and didn't get any takers, so I'll try here.
My client wants something a little different. His specs call for a Flex program that, in code, embeds fonts from an external folder. He then wants to download that and use the fonts in another .swf. I'm thinking a .swc library is the way to go. I'm a little new to using libraries that way, though. Can I create the font .swc in a library project, and download it as I would a .swf or other asset? I know that's not the way a library is usually used. I would usually put the fonts in a .fla, export them to AS, and download the swf, but the client would prefer it all be done in code, and not using Flash. I have the file with the embedded fonts--all 16 of them. They work--Ihave 16 text fields on screen, also created at run time, each displaying text in the appropriate font. Can I just convert the embedding part to a .swc, download it, register the fonts, and use them? Would I use urlLoader? Another possibility--is it possible to export the embedded fonts to ActionScript, with code? I've done that plenty of times with embedded assets, but not assets generated at runtime.
