I have a CSSLoader.as class that loads an external css file into a StyleSheet.  
I am importing and creating an instance of CSSLoader inside Master.  
\_cssLoader = new CSSLoader(flashStyles.css);

Inside Master,  
\_loadedStyles = \_cssLoader.getStyleSheet;  
\_loadedStyles = "+\_loadedStyles.styleNames); outputs the correct css styles.

When the StyleSheet is assigned to a textField in Master Class  
textField.styleSheet = \_loadedStyles;  
textField.htmlText = “\<span class=‘header’\>Page head goes here\</span\>”;  
the script runs without errors but no text is output.

In css, I’m using the embedded font name:  
.head {font-family: “Trebuchet MS Bold”;}

Thanks for your help.
