The most common method to embed a font is the “Embed…” button and I know that a common method to embed a font is

```auto

var myFont:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFont.font = "A Nice Font";

myTextField.setTextFormat(myFont);

```

But my question is does the above code retain the font in the movie so that, should I upload it to a site, the font will go with it for display?  
Also, is there actionscript that will embed a font in an entire movie so I don’t have to click each text area and embed one at a time?
