Hello everybody

With reference to the subject, I am using the following statement to embed the font within my custom class:

```auto
[Embed(systemFont = "Verdana", 
    fontName = "VerdanaReg", 
    mimeType = "application/x-font-truetype")
]

```

If I use the same code within my FLA, it works fine, but using inside my custom class, it reports error:  
“_The definition of base class FontAsset was not found_.”

I have added the following references in the Library path:  
\*\* $(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0/libs  
$(FlexSDK)/frameworks/libs/flex.swc\*\*

I have even tried adding;  
**$(AppConfig)/ActionScript 3.0/libs/framework.swc**

But, nothing helps. It seems I have to Import something in my class; but I don’t know what to import or do something alike.

Please help.
