I’ve searched high and low on the web for an answer to this problem, and I think partly because embedding fonts in Flash is not as simple as first conceived, I’m still struggling.

I’m doing a very simple flash file. Hardly any actionscript.  
I have a textfield, created in the IDE, that I output text to.  
I want to embed a font onto this textfield. Which so far is fine. I’ve embedded the font in my library and associated the textfield with that font.

Now the problem is I want to use a combination of regular and bold style on that textfield. If I remember correctly, in CS4 your embedded fonts could have multiple styles. Now in CS5 each font can only have one style. So I have to choose either regular or bold.

So how do I associate the textfield with both regular and bold styles of font? Is there a way to do this without creating separate textfields?

Thanks
