In about the simplest form:
//In the controller:

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Problem embedding and using a font variant
Well, the textField as library symbol will work fine -
I believe the font embedding works differently with library symbols, but I
could be wrong
I have found every now and then certain fonts don't play well with Flash and
there isn't much you can do if they don't work. There are a few fonts I have
which simply don't embed, and the failure is silent.

fine - I tested that, but would
rather keep it pure AS.

I posted this on Flexcoders, but didn't get any responses.
I am skinning a Spark Panel with a Flex 4 Skin MXML class, and using some
bitmaps for fills. I have researched and seem to be doing it right, but the
graphics in the filled areas get stretched anyway. I have defined the
rectangular area
I believe F4V is for H.264 video, AAC or MP3 audio only. Could that be the
reason?
