Font linkage from loaded swf

1

so, you know how if you load one swf into another, you can access the others library items by linkage? how would this work for fonts? (it doesn’t seem to).

i’m working on a project with 5 languages and depending on a language variable passed into the main swf, it’ll load that specific language swf with font linkage set in it’s library. i’d hope to be able to access that languages font from the main swf like i could if it were linked up in my main library. any tips on getting it to work?

here’s what i’m working with currently :

loadMovieNum('_fonts/font_japanese.swf', 10000)
    
    headlineMc.createTextField('txt', 100, 0, 0, 400, 38);
    var head_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    head_fmt.color = 0x35549E;
    head_fmt.size = 27
    headlineMc.txt.embedFonts = true
// this is the linkage id in the loaded swf, not the main swf
    head_fmt.font = 'font_japanese'
    headlineMc.txt.selectable = false
    headlineMc.txt.text = _global.txtXML.nodes[0].txt_reservationsdemo.getValue()
    headlineMc.txt.setTextFormat(head_fmt);
