Also, what is the font extension? I have found fonts with an .otf extension (like MyriadPro-Regular.otf) don't seem to embed with code. TTF fonts work for me though, could that be the issue? Also, in Flex (can't recall in the Flash framework off the top of my head), when you embed fonts, there is an option to embedAsCFF - if something like that is available, try toggling true or false, sometimes that makes a difference. Lastly, if your font is otf or something non-TTF, there are some Myriad fonts for free out there that have the .ttf extension, you could try downloading one of those instead.
