I’m using Flash CS3, but coding with Action Script 2.0. I’ve created a text box with the property set to Dynamic text. I embedded the font, because its not a common one. When I view it it shows the text box but some of the characters don’t show up (i.e.: “we need 250” reads “we need 20”). I went back and checked the embed feature, I told it to AutoFill and I can see the 5 in the box telling me that it will embed that character but for some reason it doesn’t come up.

If I change the property to Static Text it shows up fine.
