In AS2, if I have a swf file that I have added a font to the library how do I load that swf file into my main swf on runtime and utilize that font? I figured it would be use loadmovie, but not sure after that.

I really don’t want to load the fonts directly in the library of the main swf if I don’t have to, because I have 12 fonts to load. So, I will be passing the main swf file a variable that will tell it which font file to load.

Thanks for your help.
