We have a situation where a wrapper swf calls a loader, which in turn loads the main application. The main application uses the embed font tag to include a particular font. This works fine when the application is loaded by itself, but when loaded in the wrapper, we get the following error:

ArgumentError: Error #1508: The value specified for argument font is invalid.  
at flash.text::Font$/registerFont()

Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
