Hi,

I’ve downloaded a component for a collapsible menu that gets its data from XML, the problem is that I need to change the font and thats not in its parameters? I know how to do that in AS 3.0 but when I switch to AS 3.0 the component no longer works. It only seems to work with Flash Player 6. Is there any ways in AS 1.0 or AS 2.0 that I can define which font the component uses?

Thanks,  
Tom
