Do you get the same error as me? Create a Font symbol, named “FONT” and linkage it as “FONT”.  
Then try this in Flash 8, Frame 1:

var my\_format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();  
my\_format.font = “FONT”;

var my\_text1:TextField = this.createTextField(“my\_text1”, this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 300, 30);  
my\_text1.text = “This text uses advanced anti-aliasing.”;  
my\_text1.antiAliasType = “advanced”;  
my\_text1.embedFonts = true;  
my\_text1.setTextFormat(my\_format);

…

No error, no, BUT!!!  
As i try to highlight the text that appears when i test the movie, the text suddenly moves, about 10 X away from the marker… You get the same Problem?
