I’m looking to create an swf that contains an input text box that can hold various amounts of choosable fonts then a button that loads the text typed into some sort of dynamic text box to display in the flash file. So basically when a user comes to the site they can type what they want to submit but preview it first in whatever font it’s typed in, then be able to submit it. I have the submit part down, I just need to know if anybody can help with the part where a user types something in a text field then is able to preview it with diff. fonts. I hope this makes sense.  
Thanks for any help on this.
