AS3 TextField & embedFonts

programming flash

I have been toying around with being able to see embedded fonts over different machines, and came a question. Is there a way to use an embedded font for a TextField that is placed in a movieclip that is exported for ActionScript in CS5?

I created a movieclip on the stage, that contains a TextField called tf.
Then exported this movieclip for use in ActionScript. This movieclip’s class is called TF_Container

Then I embedded and exported for AS a font called NeonFont.


var myfont:Font = new NeonFont;
var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
var myclip:MovieClip = new TF_Container();

//style my TextFormat
myformat.font=myfont.fontName;
myformat.size=26;
myformat.color=0x000000;

//referencing the TextField, tf, I inserted in the FLA file
myclip.tf.defaultTextFormat=myformat;
myclip.tf.embedFonts=true;

addChild(myclip);
myclip.tf.text="Why does this not work?"

I uploaded the SWF to my page from a Mac. I checked it from a PC, and it was switched to a default font.
