I'm looking for a mechanism to download embedded fonts dynamically, i.e. at runtime, as the user selects them through the UI. I don't want to simply embed all the fonts in my SWF, because they're too large. And putting them into an RSL doesn't do what I want either, because the entire RSL still has to get preloaded. I would like to be able to selectively download just the fonts the user requests at runtime.
I can embed fonts into SWF's that I load at runtime as children of my main application... but while the fonts are available within the child SWF's, I haven't seen any way to access them from the main SWF which loads them. RSL's somehow avoid this problem (a font inside an RSL *is* available to the application which loads it), but I haven't been able to figure out what the magic is. Any ideas? I'll happily take suggestions for either Flex 1.5 or 2.0. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
