Hi all!

I´ve made a swf containg a dynamic text field. Somehow, when I importing the swf into my main movie the font size has changed. How can I solve this?

Cheers

Jonas

embed the fonts…you can do this by clicking the character button on the right bottom of the property inspector where in you spcify the range of characters to be embedded…

Hi

Thanks for your answar, however the file size will be to big if I embed the fonts.

If i just look at the swf with the dynamic text it looks fine but when importing it to my main movie it shrinks.

ensure that when you import the swf there is no scaling on it - thats happened to me before i had size 14 font that looked like 114… granted it was on a textfield in a scaled up mc but stil, the principal would still apply in your situation if there is scaling on your imported swf…
