While doind some tests, I ran into something that seems a bit weird to me.
On stage I have two movieclips, p1 and p2 and a button, btn.
Each movieclip has a big bitmap (800x600px).
The following code is on frame 1. These are the only things in my app.
Also, you can check for usual mistakes: missed semicolon (;-), not
applied
TextFormat etc.
Well, you saw my code, I see nothing wrong in it, but I could be
overlooking something. See the code below... it's not working for me.
You shouldn't have to embed if it's a system font though right?
Try to embed it into some textfield on the stage and then trace font
name.
How would you do that? There is no mytextfield.font property. Only
TextFormat.font and TextField (class).getFontList() which shows all the
fonts on the user's system.
Thanks for your advice,

For everyone who had this problem I can tell you I found a solution.
Remove the Font Symbol in your library and refer to the font directly in

Good luck!

That is correct. If you want to remove a movieclip that you did not
attach using attachMovie (one that is manually there on a layer in the

can removeMovieClip it.
