[AS3] embedFonts problem

Hey guys,
Probably just a quick fix here, but this embedFonts is driving me nuts. When embedFonts is set to true the font disappears, however when it’s not set it’s visible. It’s a bitmap font too (Everyday).

The code is as follows atm:


var label:TextField         = new TextField();
label.embedFonts            = true;
label.autoSize                 = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
label.antiAliasType         = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
label.selectable             = false;
label.defaultTextFormat     = formatText();

the formatText() function is as follows:


private function formatText():TextFormat 
        {
            var format:TextFormat    = new TextFormat();
            format.font                = "Everyday";
            format.color            = 0x000000;
            format.size                = 10;
            format.bold                = false;
            return format;
        }

and I’m embedding the font with

[Embed(source="Everyday.ttf", fontFamily="Everyday")]

at the start of the class

Any tips?
