Fonts in mx2004

I dont expect an answer to this since even in mx it was such a tedious and complicated thing to do.

If you’re using a TextFormat in your movie, the font needs to be set to ‘export for actionscript’ but doesn’t need to be set to ‘export in first frame’

That’s because a font will ALWAYS set itself to export in first frame.
Which means there’ll be a nice chunk of unwanted data on your first frame.

I’m just looking for a way around it.

In mx, you had to make a movie that only had your font symbols in it, and load that movie into your main movie, making the fonts available to the whole project.

Does anyone know if it’s different now?
