Hi,

I am trying to load text externally, and turn into a pixel font, but the font doesn’t show, only a deafult font,  
The code I use is:

> 

this.createTextField(“txt”, 1, 420, 140, 300, 300);  
embedFonts = true;  
txt.multiline = true;  
txt.wordWrap = true;  
loadVariables(“tekstje.txt”,“\_root”);  
txt.variable=“a”;  
var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();  
fmt.font =“FFF Reaction Trial”;  
fmt.size = 8;  
txt.setTextFormat(fmt);

Is there something missing or wrong?

thanks again,

Jerryj.
