I have this very very large project I’ve been working on. I’ve just realized the font I’ve been using isn’t standard on PCs. So now I have to embed the font for all the text fields in the whole project (they all use the same font), most of which are dynamic. I’ve added the font to the library, but I don’t want to go through the hassle of telling every text area to embed that font due to the vast number of text areas and the project’s complexity. Is there an easier method of setting all of the text in the movie to use the embedded font, or am I just going to have to bite the bullet? Can I use CSS to do it, or something easier? Code hints would also help me out, thanks.

I’m not 100% sure… but I thought if you embedded the font with one Dynamic textfield in your flash movie it works on all the textfields were you use that font.

Try it out…

That’s what i thought too. But it doesn’t seem to be working that way.

You have to embed them in all the fields, but each charachter will only be exported once in your final .swf
