hi,  
i have one menu that ‘lives’ with an embeded font, FFFplaneta. The main  
scene has 3 keyframes.  
On the first the is a preloader MC, and in keyframe 2 and 3 appears all the  
menu. All the text fields in the menu are formated with fff\_Planeta\* font,  
that appears in the font list in the properties box, and the linkage with  
the shared library that is located in the same server works because the text  
appears ok.

Now the problem:  
I used one text field in the preloader MC located in frame 1 in scene 1  
(\_root), with the text formated with fff\_Planeta\* that appears also in the  
font list in the properties box.  
When i test the movie, it just stops in frame one, and shows nothing, like  
if the flash doesn’t finds the font.  
But if i change the font to ‘verdana’, from the sistem fonts, the preloader  
woks and everything works.

It seems that the library font is only loaded when the main movie loads  
completely. like the preloader MC needs them before the completely movie  
loads…

Any solution for this problem?

thanxs for your time
