Hi,

I’ve been looking for a way to import some fonts at runtime, this way I could provide the user with a font choice. I don’t want to embed all the fonts I’m offering so I would like to be able to load only the fonts the user chooses.

I’ve done a lot of research, but I can’t seem to find a way to do this with flashdevelop. I also have flash cs5, so if I need to create something in there for it to work in FD, I don’t mind.

Can someone please give me a simple working mtasc example? I’ve seen lots of explanations like this: [http://bryanlangdon.com/blog/2007/03/22/loading-fonts-dynamically-in-actionscript-2-and-3/](http://bryanlangdon.com/blog/2007/03/22/loading-fonts-dynamically-in-actionscript-2-and-3/) on the web but to no avail.

Thanks for your help
