Actually it doesn't really matter what the defautl font is or if it's installed on the user's system or not. If you want to change the alpha, rotation or, in general, use any effect on a text component, you have to embed the font.
This is actually a limitation of the Flash Player, not Flex, so there's not much we can do about it. If I'm not mistaken, this limitation will be gone in Flash 10 though. -- Laurent Cozic Flash, Flex and Web Application development http://pogopixels.com ----- Original Message ---- From: cesarerocchi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, August 1, 2008 3:50:42 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Fading out text > You need to use an embedded font in order for the fade effect to work.

What if I am ok with the default font (I work in Adobe Air) and I didn't embed any font in my application? Isn't that font, the default one, already embedded? If not, what's the name of the default font? Thanks, -c.
