ok… let’s see if I can explain this. I have a main flash movie that loads each link as seperate swf’s inside an empty mc… and inside THOSE swf’s they load another swf for each section, like this…

mainFile\>section1\>contentA  
mainFile\>section1\>contentB  
mainFile\>section2\>contentA  
mainFile\>section2\>contentB

Now my question is, can I use a dynamic text box with Verdana for my font in the “content” sections and have it come out looking sharp, or would I only be able to use a font if it’s embedded??..

After a lot of trial and error I found the latter of the two to be right until I checked out 2advanced’s site and noticed that they (I’m assuming) are doing they same thing as me as far as embedding their swf’s so it looks POSSIBLE…

any help?

hi

I couldn’t understand your doubt completely.

Here is the solution for the extent whatever I have understood.

You can set the font dynamically from the external file to the text box which is located in flash.

Only thing that you have to do is render it as HTML text. In the text file use

your variable name=\<font face=“verdana”\>your text\</front\>

i am sorry if this is not the answer you are looking for.

sorry about the delay in my reply… yes I tried that but still no luck… my problem is that I want the text to appear dynamically but it doesn’t… I have to embed it for ANYTHING to show up at all which makes it look very blurry…

I think I remember reading somewhere that you can’t have dynamic text show up in an embedded swf without embedding the font…
