[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif][SIZE=2]Is there a way of embedding a font for the whole movie in Flash, without setting it on an individual textbox?[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif][SIZE=2]
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif][SIZE=2]I’ve a dynamic text box, which will have regular and bold text in it. I can’t set both formats in Flash’s embed dialogue boxes though. (it’s one or the other)[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif][SIZE=2]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif][SIZE=2]I can embed the bold version by having a hidden textfield elswhere in the movie, but I’m sure there’s a better way of doing it.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif][SIZE=2]Any Ideas?

Hi Kevinc, mind if I ask: why don’t you just embed the fonts in every box? Whichever one needs bold, embed bold, whichever needs regular, use regular. It just doesn’t make much sense to me to hide text boxes when you can do it the obvious way.

P.S. “I’ve” is an abreviation of I have, but it can’t be used in the sense of property. “I’ve done that” is correct. “I’ve 1 dollar” is incorrect. :tb: Good advice, all for the same price!

Soig, cheers for the reply and the grammar tip.

What you’re suggesting would work if it was different text boxes, one with bold, and one with

The text box has both weights of font used in it. (Bold and regular) something like this:

Lorem ipsum
Dolor sit amet consectetuer adipiscing elit. Mauris est ligula, vehicula eget

If you embed a few different fonts - in the library - and set their linkage names - then, if you set up a CSS file, link that to your text boxes, you can assign different fonts in different styles and get more than one font to appear in a textField. Nice tutorial here:
