Hi everybody.

I’m using Load Vars to bring in various text in my flash movie.  
I’m using Myriad Pro as my font in the text field.  
Normally, I don’t have a problem loading external data.  
In fact, it’s still not a problem.  
But this font looks like total crap!

So, I tried embedding it and then going about it.  
Well, now it won’t let me control the size, so I have no idea whether or not it’s going to work(look good and still load dynamically).  
I went in and used various script to get the text field and/or text to behave properly to no avail…please help, or I’m going static text into a movieclip(in a mask) with a scrollbar…

please help…
