Thanks Stephen, that worked...this is what I did:
1. copied LucidaSansRegular.ttf file from jre\lib\fonts directory to
the directory holding my mxml file
2. added this to my mxml file:
<mx:Style>
@font-face { fontFamily:myEmbeddedFont;
src:url("LucidaSansRegular.ttf"); }
</mx:Style>
3. added this:
myLabel.setStyle("fontFamily","myEmbeddedFont");
myLabel.setStyle("fontSize",14);
Now, I have another question; I wanted to show my text in red color;
fade out the color in 15 seconds (this part is working)..then, at the
end of the fadeOut period, show the text in 'green'.
exactly, how do I trigger the code that will change the text color to
green ??
