Awesome! I'll definitely have to check this out. On a related note, I wonder if its possible to embed fonts with a specific unicode range via this syntax. It doesn't appear to be.
[Embed(systemFont='Symbol', fontName='mySymbol', mimeType='application/x-font')] var myFont:Class; I know you can use @font-face, which appears to automatically generate a variable in the class, but its not a consistently named variable. I am sure a utility function in the class could be used to ferret out that variable name. Daniel Freiman wrote: > > I altered the code a little and got it half working.
