[SIZE=2]I searched a bit on this but couldn’t find anything so here goes… I’m writing an application in FlashCS3 that needs to dynamically load fonts. I know that I can load them if I make each font its own .swf file. However, the problem I have is I don’t know what fonts they will be using. And since I don’t know what fonts they will be using, I can’t just _make a .swf for the fonts they use_. ``` For example, lets say client A logs in and uses the flash application to create a document for print and they want to use a specific font (say something uncommon like Accenic 8 or something) that they previously had uploaded to their fonts folder. There is no .swf for it (obviously), so they can't load it into the flash application. I can get their fonts list to load in a dropdown but I can't figure out how to load a font dynamically once they choose it. Is there a way to create a font .swf with another .swf file? Or does anyone know of another way to load the font on the fly without knowing the font that is going to be used? ``` Sorry if this is confusing… if you need more info i can provide it! ``` Thanks ahead! -- redelite[/SIZE] ```
