Embed font

[Jacorre]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone had any suggestions about embedding font in a Flash file? I've tried the embed option but after doing so my text disappears. It is dynamic text and it will change when the mouse is clicked so not sure if that's the problem.

Basically, what I want is for any user to see the same font I'm seeing when they view the Flash file. Right now, the one it shows is getting lost in the background image.

Thanks!

when I created the Catrow.com site... I embedded the cartoony Sketchbook font in it... I will post up my method here in next hour or two when I return home from work

Ok... after thinking about it... my method won't work unless you are making use of a shared library so I think I found a link that explains how to do it without using a shared library. I skimmed over it and its close to same method I use with shared library really... should work for you... unless CS3 Flash does it differently but I think it works the same

Thanks Synthetic for that information. it definitely helped in figuring out what I think I was doing wrong! If anyone has a chance, could you visit Play and let me know if it actually worked? After clicking on the ball you should see a number appear at the top and a high score appear at the bottom. The font should be thick, bold, and viewable. Thanks!

It appears to be working for me, using FF3. I used to love this game. Thanks for bringing it back!

yep... seems to be working for me too. Glad I could help
