Use Library Resources from Class

[absameen]

I have a font in my library and I want to access it from a class.

myFont:Font = new FontName(); doesn't seem to be working.

The linkage is setup. How can I get this to work?

you must create a TextFormat instance, specifying the font, and apply it to the TextField, as in:

var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat('myFont'); //font linkage as a string
myTextField.setTextFormat(fmt);

Thanks again. I was doing "myFormat.font = myFont.fontName" which wasn't working.
