I am concerned about the filesize if we embed all files.
I think what Alex said might work, we could embed the font into a

Has anyone ever done this? Seen any tutorials on this? It seems that a
good amount of people would want something like this.

Is there any way to do this?
Basically, I only need some fonts and it will change depending on the
situation.
How would I do that?
Also, do you know of any way to tell if the user has a font already,
and I will only embed it if they need it (don't want to load a font
that they already have...)

How can I use a Regular Expression, or some other way, to first only
get everything between name and /, than to parse each field for the
value?
Ok, I have figured out a way to get the tags... now I have one problem...
I get the name properties, like this:

Something like this:
var field:String = 'name';
var ptrn:RegExp = /field(.?*)\//;
Y/N?

It comes back like this:
