flash will not embed fonts unless the text field is ‘dynamic’ and you tell it to embed the fonts

to do this select ‘Dynamic’ for the mode of the text box and click on the ‘character’ button next to the ‘Var’ input field. select the embedding options you want and you’re set.

in a text box with an embedded font you can only have one font, one color and one face (bold, regular, italic, etc.) keep this in mind.

if the user does not have the font you’ve specified in a regular textbox then the flash player will default to the default system font, just like in HTML

hope this helps

static text is automatically embeded in the flash movie. as well as what shuga said. and it embeds the entire text as far as I know.

em … static text isn’t embeded in the movie

last i checked anyway … dynamic text is the only thing that can be embedded

the ascii values for the characters are in the flash movie so the words will say the same thing but the actual vectors for the letters of the font are not stored with the flash movie unless you make the text box dynamic and tell it to embed the fonts. =)
