I’ve got a Flex project that has some AS3 components that are attached to it. I need to use embedded fonts in both sets of components. I’ve done many font embedding tutorials for both AS3 and MXML and know how to do both, but I still can’t figure out a good way to reference the fonts in both sets. Usually I have to embed the font twice, once for AS3 and once for MXML. Anyone have a good strategy for sharing embedded fonts? I may just be overlooking something very obvious. Thanks.
