RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder 2.0.1 the update !

To leverage the FlashType engine in Flex 2, you had to create a SWF that embedded a particular font using the Flash authoring tool, and then embed that SWF file in your Flex application.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder 2.0.1 the update !
If you are running out of memory in plugin, you can increase the memory for Eclipse with the additional VM argument: -Xmx768m, which lets it use up to 768MB of memory. If you have less free memory, adjust accordingly.
