Obie, have you made sure the fields are using the embedded version of the font? Just embedding the font doesn't do anything. After embedding, you need to switch the font from the system version to the embedded version. Because you mentioned several clips, you can do this globally (if desired)

You can't hide URL requests, but you could use a proxy script to mask the FLV names. The problem is that like YouTube's get_video.php script, you can still call this from anywhere. YouTube makes it a bit harder by adding on a variable called t that seems to change per video called - it's

Hi Patrick, I have put my logger online at http://www.funky-monkey.nl/blog/ It is a very simple logger so i dont have to start the debugger in flash to trace out messages. It writes a file to the desktop, which you drag and drop in the AIR front end. Any comments are more than welcome!
