[flexcoders] Embed TrueType font not working

[flexcodersVK]

I've tried for several hours to use a embedded font without succes.

I have:

<mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[[
        [Embed(source="work/ttf/KIMSHAND.TTF",
                fontName="KIMSHAND",
                mimeType="application/x-font")]
        private var fontKIMSHAND:Class;
    ]]>
</mx:Script>

<mx:Text
    id="helpText"
    height="240"
    width="240"
    text="My help text"
    fontSize="24" color="#ffffff" fontFamily="KIMSHAND">
</mx:Text>


The .text isn't displayed when I run the project.
I've trief a lot of other truetype fonts, but none are working.
I'm using Flex 2.0.1 on OSX.

Thanks for help!
