when i set embedFonts to true, the textfield cant be seen on stage.  
but when i set it to false, it appears on stage. whats going on?

```auto

var newTextField:TextField = new TextField();
newTextField.text = "Hello Ayumilove";
newTextField.alpha = 0.5;
newTextField.embedFonts = true;
addChild(newTextField);

```
