embedFonts = true;

should embed the fonts that i’m using for a text field


//-------------------------------
//create the second level menu
//-------------------------------
// format the text of the buttons
myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.font = "PixieFont";
myFormat.size = 15;
myFormat.color = 0xFFFFFF;
myFormat.indent = 3;
myFormat.bold = 0;
myFormat.align = "center";
	var nav2 = ["News", "About", "Menus", "Koki Club", "Schmoock's Net", "Events", "Location", "Banquets", "Gallery"];
	var link2 = ["#1", "#2", "#3", "#4", "#5", "#6", "#7", "#8", "#9"];
// create the menu with the names from the array above
pos2 = 0;
wid2 = 0;
for (i=0; i<nav2.length; i++) {
	_root.createEmptyMovieClip("n2"+i, i+20);
	with (_root["n2"+i]) {
		wid2 = ((_root.nav2*.length)*8.5)+20;
		createTextField("label", 1003, pos2, 26, wid2, 19);
		with (label) {
			//check for current location and highlight the correct button
			if (nav2sel == nav2*) {
				attachMovie("selected", "selected", 1);
				with (selected) {
					_x = pos2;
					_y = 24;
					_yscale = 90;
					_width = wid2;
				}
			}
			border = false;
			type = "dynamic";
			text = _root.nav2*;
			selectable = false;
			setTextFormat(myFormat);
			align = center;
                        embedFonts = true;
		}
		pos2 = pos2+wid2;
	}
}

when i take the embedFonts property out my text shows up and is not embedded and when i have it in there the text disappears and i have no idea if it’s embedded

i tried making it a part of myFormat at the top but that didn’t work either

can you not embedFonts on created text fields?

please help
