Matthias, I think I know why the highlight fails. The TextSnap function 'setSelectedText' requires at least 1 character from each font used, any character, to be defined as a dynamic text object. These dynamic textboxes provide the needed embedded font metrics for the highlight to work properly on all the static text throughout the swf. A command line flag to automate the creation/embedding of these special dynamic textboxes would be an awsome addition. While the TextSnap object is a Flash 7 ActionScript addition, Macromedia's specs say Flash 6's player supports it for playback.
