flash (macromedia): [quoted text, click to view]

I just recently had a similar issue.

try something like

create a new font object in your library, set it to whatever font it
is you're using. Name it the name of the font. Set it's Linkage to
export for ActionScript on first frame. Then, in your AS code, use the
setStyle method to specify what font your TextFields should use.

e.g.

myTextField.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
myTextField.setStyle("fontFamily", "Arial");

Font Issues

I'm having an issue with fonts dropping out of my .SWF files. I'm running Flash
8 on Mac 10.4.8. You can view the flash at:

www.sardismedia.com/ver/LSFlsh.html

If your running a Mac with Firefox it looks great. Look at it through a
Windows Machine and you get varied results. IE7 drops the type completely.
Firefox defaults the first two type blocks to Times. I've checked the fonts and
set them to dynamic and static. Still not change. Can someone explain to me why
fonts drop out. This is not the first time I've seen this in our studio and
I've seen it across multiple machines. After reading some of the posts here
it's seems like a bug in Flash.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
