I have a program in which the user can type in whatever they want, hit Submit, and then they can change the font of it.

However, there are many unique fonts that many user’s don’t have, and I’m using a

.setStyle(“fontFamily”, theSelectedItemLabel);

To choose them. Is there a way I can pull the fonts off the actual SERVER the .swf is hosted on, instead of it coming from each individuals computer?

You could create the textfield as a separate swf file with the various fonts embeded, making one for each font selection, and have it loaded into your movie when the font selection is changed.
