Hi all,  
Just a wee question.  
I thought if you used static text that the font used would be sort of embedded, or turned into a type of graphic, and the end user didn’t need the font on their computer when viewing the swf online? Is this meant to be the case? I thought it only mattered if I was using dynamic or input text.  
I put this up with “Kroeger” static text and it comes up as “Times”.

I’ll just break the text apart or embed it if I’m wrong about the static text thing.

Cheers.
