When I create something in, say “mini 7” a very fine font, i want it to stay like that no matter what machine it loads on.

But no matter what I convert it to - movie, button ,or graphic - it defaults to helvetica or some other built in font.

What’s the way around this? I’m using Flash MX 2004 Professioanal.

Thanks,
