How do I get a dynamic textbox to show the right font? …I’m using a pixel font, and some of my text has to be inside a dynamic textbox! But viewed from another computer, the swf shows a different font!?

did you embed the font for the textfield?  
on the right, there’s a button to bring up the options on that (in property inspector), all of the font, just a few letters, etc, will increase file size though…

Hmmm!

I mark the textbox, then press the character button, and inside the character options (Embed fonts outlines for…) I thoose “all characters”…?

It still displays a funny looking font, when I view it on another com!.. :\*(
