Hi I am looking at embedding fonts in as3. This techinique ([http://www.tink.ws/blog/embedding-fonts-in-as3/](http://www.tink.ws/blog/embedding-fonts-in-as3/)) looks gogod, however

(i) I do not have the flex compiler.

(ii) the font is a not a TTF

I want to embed as a font in flash library and then use it in my extended TextFied Class (full example [http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=322586](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=322586)).

I actually got it working the document class but not in the extended TextField. Any help would be much appreciated.
