Then I recommend you embed the font you plan on using.<br /><br /><br />Open the Library panel (Ctrl+L).<br /><br />Add a font to your library - click the options menu in the upper right corner of the panel and select New Font.<br /><br />In the Font Symbol Properties dialog box select the font, size and style that you want. Click OK to close the dialog box.<br /><br />Right click the font symbol in the library and select Linkage.<br /><br />In the Linkage Properties dialog box, click the Export for ActionScript button. ok.<br /><br />Select the text tool from the Tools panel and draw a dynamic text field on the Stage.<br /><br />Give the text field an instance name of "txt". In the Font menu select the symbol name you gave the embedded font earlier. You should see an asterisk (*) beside the name of font.<br /><br />In the Property inspector set the font size and style to match those in the Font Symbol Properties dialog box earlier.<br /><br />add the following code to Frame 1 of your Flash document:<br /><br />txt.embedFonts = true;<br /><br />add text into the dynamic text field and test the SWF. You should see your text and it should look much better!<br /><br />***Remember, If you have more than one text block, you are going to have to add another line of code like you did with "txt.embedFonts = true; " So name your new text block instance "txt2" then add this actionscript: txt2.embedFonts = true;***Bearuhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10428183768980808575noreply@blogger.com0
