Hey,  
This might be a stupid question but I thought when you typed something in flash in a font that you have added that it would show up in the kind of font on another persons computer. Am I wrong? I just checked how my site looks on a friends computer and all of my text is not the right font…

Also I am loading an external video clip into my movie using an empty movieclip and using onClipEvent (enterframe) to load it but when it loads its aliasing the font on the entire page!

anyone know what I can do to help this?

In the text properties pane, click the “Character…” button, select specify ranges and then hold down the control button whilst you click on the characters you want to embed.
