hi guys

i have a simple question:

is it possible to import a font in .ttf format into Flash so that the dynamic text-fields at other pcs where the font is not installed use the same font ???

You can’t import it, but you can embed it. Just click on your text box, open your properties panel and click on the character button. You’ll have options for embeding all characters or just the ones used in that text box. If you have problems, run a search for embed text in this section.

EDIT: claudio beat me. haha 😛
