Embedding a font works, but for smaller fonts, even in Flash Player 7, it's
all blurry. Flash Player 8 looks pretty good.
Both solutions, however, add a ton of CPU RAM overhead because embedded
fonts use anti-aliasing to make them look nice so slow down animations and
use more ram. However, setting a mask via code isn't always preferrable for
some designs. Pick the solution that's best.

Or like said: embed the font in your loaded swf

So you have to set the mask through actionscript - that's the only way?

Not true; if you use Flash Player 6.0.41.0 or higher, you can mask
device
fonts using the setMask function.

You have to embed the font for the dynamic text in order for it to
show through a mask.

I'm applying a mask on top of a dynamically loaded .swf. The Mask
is removing all dynamic text - why?
1. Try doing a dynamic mask, applied at runtime. I think there's a bug
with applying masks in the authoring environment to dynamic text
2. Why did you reply to a completly unrelated message?
