FlashCS3 IDE Font Fields Issue

[Infinite]

Wow... I don't think there is a fix for this but damn is it frustrating when the Flash IDE can't find a Text Field. We are having some issues with phantom TextFields in our projects and about 5% of the files I encounter have a TextField with an incorrect font (which is how I know they exist). However, these TextFields don't show up in the "Movie Explorer", nor "Find and Replace", nor can an JSFL scripts find them.

So the only way to hunt them down it to delete the elements in the Library until the Font in question no longer shows up in the Missing Font Warning on startup. I revert the file in SVN and dive into the components and then select the Textfields and without question there is a Textfield that had the incorrect font assigned to it.

These phantom TextFields are really annoying... :( I can repro the issues on the other Dev's machines. I haven't tried CS4 to see if its fixed the problem.

Ahhhh... I think I found what the issue was with the help of a friend. The items in question only existed in the Library. So the work around is to just drag all the item to the stage or make a dummy MC that will hold a instance of everything in the Library. Do your find and replace magic... and then delete the dummy MC.

Okay... all is well in the world. I'll have to look into the issue with the JSFL because it should be parsing the Library... hmmm.
