Hi Pietertje, Thanks for your reply. How does that work with Pixelfonts? I have FFF Business that I want to use. Thanks in advance ---

don’t know sure, but if you add a new font (the FFF B…) to your library and then just add the code(or change it only for the combobox): \_global.style.setStyle(“embedFonts”, true); \_global.style.setStyle(“fontFamily”, “FFF Business”); ---

Do you mean that when I have a font in the library with let’s say the name comboFont the code should look like: [color=red]\_global.style.setStyle(“fontFamily”, “comboFont”);[/color] ---

I don’t think I’ve ever seen setStyle before :-/ And I couldn’t find it in the AS dictionary either. Maybe you meant setStyleFormat? [http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action\_scripts/actionscript\_dictionary/actionscript\_dictionary238.html](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary238.html) (apparently there’s a chapter concerning Components color and font somewhere :)) ---

I tried the globalStyleFormat as you suggested Ilyas, but without result.I also had a look add the Macromedia site but counln’t find anything back about globalStyleFormat in relation to embedFonts. Any other sugestions? ---

just like this i think: \_global.styles.ComboBox.setStyle(“embedFonts”,true); \_global.styles.ComboBox.setStyle(“fontFamily”,“FFF Business”); and check: [http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main\_7\_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash\_MX\_2004&file=00002145.html](http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00002145.html) ---

Hi, I presume that you have MX and there is a simple way to embed the font into the comboBox in Flash MX: [font=Verdana][size=2][color=black][color=black][font=Verdana][/font][/color][/color][/size][/font] [list] [_][font=Verdana][size=2][color=black][font=Verdana]Open the library and locate Flash UI Components/Component Skins/FLabel.[/font][/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=2][color=black][font=Verdana]Edit this label and embed the font [/font][/color][/size][/font] [_][font=Verdana][size=2][color=black][font=Verdana]While still in editing mode, click on the “transform panel” and reset the size of this textfield to be 100%x100%.[/font][/color][/size][/font] [\*][font=Verdana][size=2][color=black][font=Verdana]Ensure that you position the comboBox on the whole pixel.[/font][/color][/size][/font] [/list][color=black]goodluck[/color]
