I am very frustrated with using fonts in flash, when the person who is watching the movie doesn’t have the font, it goes to times new roman! If this was confusing check out the pong on my site [www.radioactivechimp.com](http://www.radioactivechimp.com), there should be a different font there. If there is any way I can just type in flash and not take in external pic files that would be great! ---

embed it, thats how flahs will store the font and any viewer will able to see your desired font type. There is a small drop down menu will you add text. Open it and select the box “embed characters” ---
