font embedding problem

[Alber Kidd]

Hi I am looking at embedding fonts in as3. This techinique (http://www.tink.ws/blog/embedding-fonts-in-as3/) looks gogod, however

(i) I do not have the flex compiler.

(ii) the font is a not a TTF

I want to embed as a font in flash library and then use it in my extended TextFied Class (full example http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=322586).

I actually got it working the document class but not in the extended TextField. Any help would be much appreciated.

try to set the format also, not only the defaultTextFormat.
and be shure you have "swissHeavy" as class for the font.

Nice work

this.setTextFormat (style2);


No idea why defaultTextFormat works in the document class and not in an extended class!!
