I made a small movie in Swish. Saved it on the desktop as a swf. I needed to import into Flash5 for a preloader movie. When I imported into Flash5 to a movie symbol, Flash changed the font I used in Swish to somthing different. Why is that happening? Any ideas? ---

interesting… you’d think that any font that was availiable to swish would also be availiable to Flash. The only thing that I can think of to suggest would be to first check the font list in each program, making sure that that font is located on each. hmm, I really don’t know, that’s funky ---

Well, it’s in both. I think Windows handles all the fonts for most programs, and calls them up when asked for with the exception of Corel which has a shared file thing. It’ weird. I think I’ll try making the same in Flash w/out the effect. Then import into Swish for the effects, then back again. I don’t know if it will work. I’ll give it a try !
